Great Regulars: "In Julia Darling's poem Two Lighthouses,

the speaker asks for an independent relationship: 'I would like us to live like two lighthouses. . . .each with her own lamp'. Lighthouses give light when the light is needed, like poetry, maybe. Poetry makes us think about who we are. Poetry keeps the light." [--Jackie Kay]
