Great Regulars: [Elizabeth Dodd] includes the speaker

of the poem--"I turn sideways"--as another natural element, not a dominator of wilderness. The poet's "hillside" consists of unseen realities, including song, the essence of lyrical poetry. Her verse transcends matter, and her answer to Bishop Berkeley is "Yes." Poetry is a sixth sense.

Lyric

It doesn't matter

from Denise Low: Ad Astra Poetry Project: Elizabeth Dodd (1989 - )
