TRYFON TOLIDES
I Sit Here And
The shadows have grown long.
A grackle has dived into a garbage can
then flown off, elegantly
contouring the ground awhile, then rising.
I have been overtaken by the light.
It has made of me a long shadow.
Tryfon Tolides

From the editor' s desk
The shadows in "I Sit Here And" are in the manner of John Milton’s ending of
both "Lycidas" and "Paradise Lost;" no small accomplishment and for which
there may be no exculpation except by letting Eugenio Montale’s (just like
Tolides’s " . . . overtaken . . . ") one-line, cosmic masterpiece
"m’illumino d’immenso" to flash upon the mind’s page! Poetry affecting all
poetry, no two ways about it.
