From sweet Lancaster corn to zucchini blossoms to Fairy Tale eggplant, seasonal treats abound on farm stand tables throughout the city. If only we could "carry within us an orchard" writes Li-Young Lee in this moving and vivid poem. Enjoy the summer's bounty--the "nectar at the roadside"--before this fleeting season passes.From Blossoms

Re: From Blossoms
Li-Young Lee's a peach! And his poems are blossoms. Sorry, couldn't help myself. I just drove through Georgia, The Peach State, and I know what he's talking about. How joy begets joy. Thanks for the poem, Rus.
