Herald.com 02/13/2005 'How do I love thee?' With lovely poems, of course
I was trying to think what I could blog about that fit the Valentines theme when as luck would have it, I came upon this piece in the Miami Herald.
There are a few notable examples of poetic couples and since poetry so often goes to the core of emotional feeling, it seems Valentines Day is an appropriate time to mentions some of these noteworthy couples.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning & Robert Browning.
Jane Kenyon & Donald Hall
Tess Gallagher & Raymond Carver
Brenda Hillman & Robert Hass
Sylvia Plath & Ted Hughes
MARGARIA FICHTNER in this Miami Herald piece takes a look at a contemporary couple, Denise Duhamel and Nick Carbo. I've been a fan of Duhamel's and only more recently discovered Carbo and realized their husband wife connection. Fichtner is able to do the subject of a poetic married love far more justice then I could in today's blog, so I will simply recommend you fallow the link and enjoy the read.
And on that I close wishing all you poets and non-poets a happy Valentines Day.
Including The love of my life - who is not a poet of words but one of beaded artistry.
Happy Valentines Day Sweetie!
