Grief by Pattiann Rogers
Even though, like a stone sinking
in a green sea, it knows depth
and the darkness of depth; even though,
like a thundercloud in wind, it is torn
apart and reassembled over and over;
even though it draws in, pulls
its ragged edges close around
the heart, like a blossom of bindweed
at dusk; and even though its form

by Pattiann Rogers D uring the dearth and lack of those two thousand
Million years of death, one wished primarily
Just to grasp tightly, to compose, to circle,
To link and fasten skillfully, as one
Crusty grey bryozoan builds upon another,
To be anything particular, flexing and releasing
In controlled spasms, to make boundariesreplicating
Chains, membranes, epitheliumsto latch on with power
As hooked mussels now adhere to rocky beaches;
To roll up tightly, fistlike, as a water possum, Spine and skin, curls against the cold; To become godlike with transformation. And in that time one eventually wished, With the dull swell and fall of the surf, to rise up Out of oneself, to move straight into the violet

Place and Proximity
by Pattiann Rogers from Eating Bread and Honey I'm surrounded by stars. They cover me completely like an invisible silk veil full of sequins. They touch me, one by one, everywhere-hands, shoulders, lips, ankle hollows, thigh reclusions.
Particular in their presence, like rain, they come also in streams, in storms. Careening, they define more precisely than wind. They enter, cheekbone, breastbone, spine, skull, moving out and in and out, through like threads, like weightless grains of beads in their orbits and rotations, their ritual passages.
They are the luminescence of blood and circuit the body. They are showers of fire filling the dark, myriad spaces of porous bone. What can be nearer to flesh than light?
And I swallow stars. I eat stars. I breathe stars. I survive on stars. They sound precisely, humming in my nose, in my throat, on my tongue. Stars, stars
They are above me suspended, drifting, caught in the loom of the elm, similarly enmeshed in my hair. They are below me straight down in the deep. I am immersed in stars. I swim through stars, their swells and currents. I walk on stars. They are less, they are more, even than water even than earth.
They come with immediacy. They are as bound to me as history. No knife, no death can part us.

This Old Poem #13:
Pattiann Rogers’ Opus From Space
Pattiann Rogers is a poet who has used science better than just about any other published poet. Her poems have had very Stevensian titles like The Importance of the Whale in the Field of Iris Firekeeper:, New and Selected Poems st
Washington Post Sunday column called Poet’s Choice . This appeared in the late 1990s with Rita Dove its 1 st guru. RH was the 2 nd One Poem, by Pattiann Rogers was published on 3/7/99.
Let us now look at the poem, from PR’s 1997 book Eating Bread And Honey (not a promising title, eh?): Opus From Space Almost everything I know is glad
to be born – not only the desert orangetip,
on the twist flower or tansy, shaking
birth moisture from its wings, but also the naked
warbler nesting, head wavering toward sky,
and the honey possum, the pygmy possum,
blind, hairless thimbles of forward, press and part. Almost everything I've seen pushes toward the place of that state as if there were no knowing any other – the violent crack and seed-propelling shot of the witch hazel pod

Favorite Pattiann Rogers' Poems as Selected By: Richard Howard
"I have been reading and delighting in her work for years, and teaching it for years as well, and by now I regard her as one of the finest poets in America." "If Dying Means Becoming Pure Spirit"
"Stone Bird"

"The Art of Raising Gibbons and Flowers"

Naomi Shihab Nye
"Pattiann Rogers is one of the most original voices of recent decades. Readers who savor her perceptions, her intricate, vastly intelligent sense of connections, are heartened indeliblyshe is a crucial poet for a disconnected time. . . . I could truly say there is something I love in every poem she has ever written." "The Family is All There Is"
Diane Ackerman
"I rarely read her poems one at a time, but in splurges, relishing the same elements in all of them: the brilliant onrushing voice that pours evenly through her poems, as if they were a single reverent song of life; the sheer surprise and ingenuity of her subjects, suppositions, and points of view; her keen roaming eye that's equally detained by the local and the universal, the fist of a mouse or the agencies of the stars. Having so many of her poems gathered together in one volume is a long-awaited pleasure." "Being Accomplished"
"The Origin of Order"
"The Compassion of the Iris" "Finding the Tattooed Lady in the Garden" ... "The Stars Beneath My Feet" Scott Russell Sanders "Coming on a new cache of poems by Pattiann Rogers is like discovering a secret meadow thronged with flowers and birds and bugs, a wild clearing undergirded by stone and encircled by trees and lite by stars. To find these new poems opening into the depths of her collected work is a blessing beyond reckoning, for here is a wealth of hard, loving, precise thought about the universe and its creatures unrivaled by any poet in our time."

Rogers Reads Poems About Nature, The Two Immensities, A Mouse And God
by Alice R. O'Grady
Staff Writer Pattiann Rogers read and discussed her poetry at her morning Amphitheater lecture titled "Poems in an Expanding Universe."
Rogers reiterated her suggestion - to those who prefer not to listen for the meaning of the words - that they just listen as they would to music.
Most of the audience are here at Chautauqua partly because of the beauty of the place, she said. "Why are we moved by certain things in the natural world?" she asked. "Here's some poetry about that."
Rogers said she wrote "Till My Teeth Rattle" after reading an essay called "Against Nature." The author, Rogers said, claimed that people who say they love nature are making it up. Thinking that maybe the author was right, Rogers went outside and saw 12 magpies in a tiny tree. She thought, "Maybe she's not right." The two immensities
Rogers heard an interview with a man who said he was "struggling between the two immensities," by which he meant birth and death. "Opus from Space" was written with this in mind. "Almost everything I know is raging to be born," she said. "Everything is saying 'yes' to life … they put asphalt over me, I'm coming up anyway."

One Poem
By Pattiann Rogers
By Robert Hass

March 7, 1999
I always seem to want it to be spring before winter is done with. I start counting it as spring, secretly, mentally, from about March 1 onward, which is not cheating in California, where in fact I start counting in mid-February, or in Washington. But I have thought of spring and gone out looking for evidence, at times, on the edges of Lake Erie and along the Iowa River and even in muddy iced-over fields in the Norfolk Broads in bitter March and in a Mexican desert in December. I was musing on this fact of my character when I came across this poem by Pattiann Rogers from her book "Eating Bread and Honey." It was published in 1997 and I'm just catching up with it. Rogers lives in Colorado. Her work has always appealed to me because she knows so much natural history, and knows it with such exuberance: Opus From Space Almost everything I know is glad

birth moisture from its wings, but also the naked
