‘The art of losing isn’t hard to master’

Today is the last day of April and National Poetry Month. I meant to blog about my love for poetry and I meant to tweet the poem in my pocket on April 18. I forgot to do both.

Earlier this month, I thought I lost something very dear to me. Turns out, I found it. Nevertheless, this is one of my very favorite poems. It’s by Elizabeth Bishop, a woman who traveled the world, charted her own course, and happened to live and write in Key West for a few years.
