News at Eleven: "Raystown River Trout" is the antithesis

of a fly-fishing-as-spiritual-practice poem: after the thrill of reeling in a fish downstream from a leaking mine, the speaker finds

flash gone gray and my sick wish
not to have caught it; I wished I'd cut
the line before the glitter got away."

from New West: "God, Seed" Celebrates Nature and Laments Environmental Degradation
