Glitter in the gutter

Deer Isle’s rather unsettlngly vibrating bridge

“Gather up whatever is

glittering in the gutter,

whatever has tumbled

in the waves or fallen our of the sky….’’

— From “Holding the Light,’’ by Stuart Kestenbaum, Maine’s poet laureate

A ceramicist, as well as poet, he was the director of the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, in Deer Isle, Maine, for 27 years.
