I think he was the very first poet to have this extremely sad and tragically beautiful effect on me. Thanks for sharing this (even though I'm days late), I hope others can experience the impact of his words in a similar way.

After that first flash, I read all of Great Fires in one sitting. Thank you for sharing Jack Gilbert with me then and again today. I will continue to pass him on.... There's a wonderful interview with him in the Paris Review, Art of Poetry, No. 91, fall/winter 2005: http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/5583/the-art-of-poetry-no-91-jack-gilbert I had never even heard of Jack Gilbert until a couple years ago when you suggested i read Tear It Down, a poem he’d written about marriage in Great Fires: “We can break through marriage into marriage.” After that first flash, I read all of Great Fires in one sitting.
