Word-Of-The-Land
What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”Drawn to a single landscape long enough to find its grammar — the marsh, the ridge, the back pasture rendered in sentences that hold weather and time. Walks the same paths until the language arrives, then writes alone, slowly, with attention tuned to what most pass over. Recognizable in the child who keeps a field notebook of one creek and the elder still writing the same hill from a different window.
