Daniel Hoffman | A Stillness

April 28, 2017

By Lucas Taylor / CERN - http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/628469, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1433671

Daniel Hoffman’s poem, “A Stillness,” appeared in NER 1.2 (1978):

Each bead of the mist is burning

with the joy
of a resurrected soul.

A will within it,
draws it back from me a little—the cove,
a beach of shallow pools
behind the sandbars, and the bay
without motion
blending, somewhere
into the fog, the infinite empire
of floating fiery light.

Ann Beattie | Octascope

March 24, 2017

Ann Beattie’s story, “Octascope,” appeared in NER 1.1 (1978):

We live in a house divided into five rooms, heated by a wood stove. When Carlos finished building his house, a friend gave him furniture: three beds, so there are three bedrooms and a living room and a bathroom. In one of the bedrooms is a refrigerator and a sink and a hotplate on top of cinder blocks.

Alfred Nicol | The Inheritance

March 17, 2017

 

Alfred Nicol’s poem, “The Inheritance,” appeared in NER 1.3 (1979):

We return to the ocean
because we have grown used to it.
It is a field of long grass
we do not cut and bale,
a field we’ve let go wild.
If there are great winds
we’ve stood up to the wind before.

Seamus Heaney | Field Work

March 3, 2017

Seamus Heaney’s poem, “Field Work,” appeared in NER 1.1 (1978):

Where the yellowhammer flared out of the bushes,
Where the perfect eye of the nesting blackbird watched,
Where one fern was always green.

I watched you through the mossed shins of the hedge
Take the pad from the gate-house at the crossing
And lean to pluck a white wash off the whins.
