I totally love Raymond Carver and late fragment is one of my all time favourites :-) One of the things I enjoy most about his poetry is the way he explores life full on, and you can track his learning and self-discovery right through to the end where he tries to make sense of it all in the approach towards death. His poems - and some other bits of poetry - would be included in my list of great teachers too. Words, ideas, feelings that help to remind us of what is truly important in life. Thanks for this post, and the invitation to explore some of your other material on the cheerful monk site. I've really enjoyed what I've read, and understand very much what you mean about the desire to share, and contribute. I get a very strong sense of that and am sure your readers will feel a deep sense of release and satisfaction when they read what you write :-) Joanna Jean, thanks for this.
