I assume the theory of construction starting on our street at the dawn of legality is that all right-thinking citizens are out of their houses and at their jobs by the time the windows start rattling, but as a person who works from home with massive insomnia I am just very tired.

Kenneth Koch and Kate Farrell's Talking to the Sun: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems for Young People (1985) was not the first adult poetry I can remember reading, but I loved it as a child and since it is dead out of print, it seems only decent of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to have made it freely available online. It memorably introduced me to Frank O'Hara and Léopold Sédar Senghor. I made all sorts of connections between the words and the images that may or may not have been intended by the editors, but I also think that was the point. Reading any kind of U.S. political news right now feels like bizarro universe free-fall, but I appreciate this article by Rebecca Solnit.
