    So, there’s this poet called Bianca Stone who is also a visual artist–she is definitely worth checking out. She even does work with Anne Carson, another poet you might want to visit. Here is Stone reading a poem I love: “Reading a Science Article on the Airplane to JFK”– https://poets.org/poem/reading-science-article-airplane-jfk

    There’s a poem called “Magic Problems” by Lawrence Raab that comes to mind often these days.

    And of course, always in the queue are Jane Hirshfield’s “Each Moment a White Bull Steps Shining into the World” –https://poets.org/poem/each-moment-white-bull-steps-shining-world

    and Robert Lowell: https://poets.org/poem/quaker-graveyard-nantucket

    and Cleopatra Mathis: here she is reading “A Summer Anatomy”–
