Mushrooms from the local farmer’s market. In the end, they were chopped, sauteed in butter with red onions, and served up on toast. Yum.

a little dance

At first I saw a coral beneath the sea. Then, peering closer, I thought of ghostly maidens doing a little dance beneath the full moon. In fact, they are mushrooms growing in a “mushroom mini farm.” The first crop looked just like the image of oyster mushrooms on the box cover. This second round … well, I’m not so sure if what’s growing is edible but it sure is interesting visually.

While I only occasionally consume a mushroom, I do love to photograph them. These I recently photographed in Newburyport, Massachusetts.

Merwin Whose Words Evoke Images
Posted in Books I Love, Inspiration, tagged human condition, mushrooms, nature, poetry, W. S. Merwin on July 22, 2010| Leave a Comment »
I received an e-update today from poets.org that included news about W. S. Merwin, one of my favorite poets. He is succeeding Kay Ryan as the 2010-2011 U.S. Poet Laureate. His is a poetry that makes one pause. Maybe all poetry does that. 😉 In any case, in the bookstore where I work, in the quiet moments, I pull Merwin’s Shadow of Sirius from the shelf. I recently discovered that he’d written a famous poem about mushrooms. As someone who has habitually avoided mushrooms I am amazed at how often mushrooms are appearing in my life this summer!
Looking for Mushrooms at Sunrise
When it is not yet day
I am walking on centuries of dead chestnut leaves
In a place without grief
Though the oriole
Out of another life warns me
That I am awake
In the dark while the rain fell
The gold chanterelles pushed through a sleep that was not mine
Waking me
So that I came up the mountain to find them
Where they appear it seems I have been before
I recognize their haunts as though remembering
Another life
Where else am I walking even now
Looking for me
— W. S. Merwin
