locked in a prison‚ his mind and soul are free to live for the moment. ’Stone walls do not a prison make‚ nor iron bars a cage -- minds innocent and quiet take that for an hermitage -- that I have freedom in my love‚ and in my soul am free( “To Althea from prison” ln 25-30).

dammed are often words that come to mind when I look at how the human race manages their water. It is through ironies like this‚ which show the true extent of damage the Earth faces. Brenda Hillman in her work Practical Water echoes this through her poems concerning the environment and its downfall. In poetry we dwell‚ but it is impossible to dwell on something whose base is crumbling. Like the polar bear on the lone ice float in the Arctic Ocean‚ we too now find ourselves desperately
