There are two poems, then, that
I want to read about poets.

00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:11.490 align:middle line:84%
One, a contemporary,
an exact contemporary,

00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:15.810 align:middle line:84%
a poet whom I loved as a man
and revered, and still do,

00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:18.570 align:middle line:90%
as a poet, James Wright.

00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:20.520 align:middle line:90%
It's a very short poem.

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:21.600 align:middle line:90%
He died a few years ago.

00:00:25.290 --> 00:00:29.325 align:middle line:84%
"News comes that a friend
far away is dying now.

00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:35.520 align:middle line:84%
I look up and see
small flowers appearing

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.700 align:middle line:84%
in spring grass
outside the window

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.450 align:middle line:90%
and can't remember their name."
