Theodore Roethke Comments

elegy for Jane (my student, thrown by a horse) . bye Jane.

I first read Roethke in high school and over the next six decades have never stopped. He is a poet's poet, a peerless craftsman, and often deeply moving.

iv never liked any of the pomes because i have not heard any

This poem fire and I listen to it before i go to bed

'The Far Field' should be in the short list.

Awesome. Amazing work. This is a treasure that must be kept alive.

Roethke is a treasure.

Sad that nobody else seems to have noticed this wonderful poet.
