\"snow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some might suggest that for a literary blog to feature three snow-related posts in a day is excessive. Well, tough. The weather has always been a great common denominator. And to our credit, we\u2019ve refrained from calling this \u201cWinter Storm Pax\u201d or \u201cthe snowpocalypse.\u201d We have standards<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Here, then, are seven poems from our archives fit for a snowy night. I won\u2019t claim they\u2019ll warm or comfort you\u2014they\u2019re poems, not pap\u2014but they\u2019re terrific reads, and they will be of some help. Next time you share an elevator with a distant colleague, you\u2019ll use the weather as a conversational crutch, as one does; but instead of saying, \u201cMan, it\u2019s cold out!\u201d you\u2019ll say, \u201cSnow is a hat worn by mountains.\u201d You\u2019ll make a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

Note, too, that the majority of these poems were published in the spring or summer: a reminder that what\u2019s unendurable now will be desirable in a few months\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

Debora Greger, \u201cTo the Snow<\/a>\u201d (from The Paris Review<\/i> No. 154, Spring 2000)<\/p>\n

\n

Snow, let go. It\u2019s late,<\/em>
You are cornmush. You are cold.<\/em>
Let me cover you with this white sheet.<\/em>
No one will know<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Agha Shahid Ali, \u201cSnow on the Desert<\/a>\u201d (from No. 107, Summer 1988)<\/p>\n

\n

the sliding doors of the fog were opened,
and the snow, which had fallen all night, now
sun-dazzled, blinded us, the earth whitened<\/p>\n

out, as if by cocaine, the desert\u2019s plants,
its mineral-hard colors extinguished,
wine frozen in the veins of the cactus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2014there, straining branches

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0buckle, send cracks

Chris Forhan, \u201cA Child\u2019s Guide to Etiquette<\/a>\u201d (from No. 177, Summer 2006)<\/p>\n

\n

Snow is a hat worn by mountains, the tallest of which do not remove the
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0hat in summer.
Sunlight settles like a shawl upon the hills and dewy berry fields.
The sun is not a wag or hail-fellow-well-met. It does not loaf or shirk.
It keeps its face funeral-ready, as you should.
Away you go in the car. Father and Mother. Puff and Baby Sally.
Away you go into the country. Spot and Jane.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Poems are such odd little jiggers.\u00a0
This one scratches himself, gets up, then goes off to pee\u00a0
in a corner of the room. Later looking quite\u00a0
stylish in white jodhpurs against the winter\u00a0
snow, and in his reluctance to talk to the utterly\u00a0
discursive: \u201cI will belove less than feared . . .\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Charles Simic, \u201cNineteen Thirty-Eight<\/a>\u201d (from No. 192, Spring 2010)<\/p>\n

\n

People worried the world was about to end.
A fish believed to have been extinct for seventy million years
Came up in a fishing net off the coast of South Africa.
I lay in my crib as the days got shorter and colder,
And the first heavy snow fell in the night.
Making everything very quiet in my room.
I believe I heard myself cry for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
