That was a very important book for me. And within a few years were first books from Timothy Liu and Rafael Campo. To write about having sex with someone of the same sex, to write about same-sex love and vulnerability\u2014these were very new things in poetry, as far as I could tell. It\u2019s something that gets taken for granted now, but it\u2019s great that something like this can be taken for granted. Not that any of this means it\u2019s not still very frightening, even dangerous, for many people to speak openly about who they are, and to live openly as they are.

A sudden scuffle in the bushes means that a clumsy squirrel or two are in there\u2014and yes, there they are leaping erratically from branch to branch. More often a crow or a blackbird swoops or cackles among the trees, and a wood pigeon monotonously serenades its mate.
