Facing another day on the planet is always a lucky day. Being able to write about it, so well, is icing on the cake. Hope all is well. - Phil A.

Yes Goldfinch, great write. I agree with all here. It is wonderful to get up awake and alive and not take for granted the fact that we are able to. :)

Protecting Moon.
official1sp said:
Can one outgrow Gold Finch, our great poet of solitude, of love loss comprehended as farce? I think so, yes. In the impatient, zestful still-youthful adulthood of one’s life. When at last one takes control of one’s life. Or believes one can, or has. … You outgrow Gold Finch. But then one day, abruptly, you return to Mr. Finch. As the brash arc of adulthood begins to wan. It’s like discovering yourself in a corridor you would have sworn you’d never been in before — yet you know it. This staircase, this door to be opened, this room. It’s all there. Always has been there. Unchanged. Waiting for you.

Time No Longer.

You were a magician of language, and it would be most respectful, perhaps even ethical, not to look too closely into the workings of your magic. But it’s to the brilliance of your credit that analysis of your methods does nothing to erode the joy of amazing stories. Like all good magic, YOURS just cannot be explained away. And thank God for that.

A Man of Infinite Leisure.
official1sp said:
Reading Finch, you’re constantly assailed by the notion that he is writing down what you have always known, except that you’ve never thought of it before. This is highly unnerving; fortunately, you’re usually too busy smiling like crazy. I can think of no finer poem to have beside me while land masses implode and sea floors explose, while the world ends.

No Money In Good.
official1sp said:
I like how the poem addresses the concept of a life without kindness as a word of desperation. You can clearly see that Mr. Finch compares it to being imprisoned humanity, when either of those can\'t be freed without humility. Very accurately penned, because a life without kindness would be aimless.

Mr. Finch has an astoundingly tuned voice — graceful, sincere, firm, authentic, and at times funny — telling just the kinds of stories we need to get us through these times
