    I so remember Queen Anne’s Lace from growing up on the east coast as well – thank you for sharing this. I did not remember there was purple in the flower until I listened to this!

    A listener from the Oregon Coast:

    I’m glad you’re reading 3 WCW poems. New to me. A field guide identification text turns sensual with two words, his and hers. There? And yes, there and there! Now personal pronouns they, their, et al are the focus of ranging sexual identity.

      Thank you for your comments — a contemporary interpretation! Williams’s poems are relevant today. I certainly love the mystery and ambiguity in this poem. So glad to be introducing you to William Carlos Williams.
