Poet's StatementThis was a walking poem, a form popular among modernist poets, especially the likes of Clare and Hopkins, and in their tradition, contemporary poets such as Oliver. Traditionally, walking poems are pastoral, focused on nature, but contemporary renditions are more flexible in their inclusion of people and or signs of the poet. This poem is inspired especially by Oliver, who puts longing in the landscape, as J. D. Salinger said.
