Megan Grumbling poem in The Portland Press Herald
If you have a chance, pick up a Portland Press Herald and check out reviews editor Megan Grumbling’s poem, “Vacation”. Here is Gobson Fay-LeBlanc’s introduction to the poem:
“This week’s poem is a kind of aubade, a poem that comes out of the early morning. The classic aubade involves two lovers who don’t want to separate after a night together, but here we have a speaker who doesn’t want to leave behind the sensory experience of a vacation. She has – literally and figuratively – stripped herself bare and contemplates what is left. With its extra space, back and forth lines, and thick language, this poem asks to be read slowly.
Megan Grumbling is the author of “Booker’s Point,” which won the Vassar Miller Prize and a Maine Literary Award.”
