Poem: "Nostos," by Louise Glück.

Nostos 

There was an apple tree in the yard —
this would have been 
forty years ago — behind,
only meadows. Drifts
off crocus in the damp grass.
I stood at that window:
late April. Spring
flowers in the neighbor's yard.
How many times, really, did the tree
flower on my birthday,
the exact day, not 
before, not after? Substitution
of the immutable
for the shifting, the evolving.
Substitution of the image 
for relentless earth. What
do I know of this place,
the role of the tree for decades
taken by a bonsai, voices
rising from tennis courts —
Fields. Smell of the tall grass, new cut.
As one expects of a lyric poet.
We look at the world once, in childhood.
The rest is memory.

Why I Am Not a Painter

I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not. Well,

for instance, Mike Goldberg
is starting a painting. I drop in.
"Sit down and have a drink" he
says. I drink; we drink. I look
up. "You have SARDINES in it."
"Yes, it needed something there."
"Oh." I go and the days go by
and I drop in again. The painting
is going on, and I go, and the days
go by. I drop in. The painting is
finished. "Where's SARDINES?"
All that's left is just
letters, "It was too much," Mike says.

But me? One day I am thinking of
a color: orange. I write a line
about orange. Pretty soon it is a
whole page of words, not lines.
Then another page. There should be
so much more, not of orange, of
words, of how terrible orange is
and life. Days go by. It is even in
prose, I am a real poet. My poem
is finished and I haven't mentioned
orange yet. It's twelve poems, I call
it ORANGES. And one day in a gallery
I see Mike's painting, called SARDINES.

shipwrecks

Maritime archaeology is the study of the history and material remains of people and their activities on, under, near or associated with the sea. This includes shipwrecks, submerged settlements and buildings in and around coastal areas.

Although much of this history is underwater and not readily accessible to the public, our wealth of archaeological remains plays a key part in underpinning the world's maritime and naval cultural heritage. Examples of this are two famous shipwreck discoveries by maritime archaeologists: the Mary Rose and HMS Invincible. These two discoveries opened a new era in marine research and highlighted the skills of maritime archaeologists. Today they are well researched and their histories much shared in museums and in education.
