Stars
by Louise Glück
I’m awake; I am in the world — I expect no further assurance. No protection, no promise.
Solace of the night sky, the hardly moving face of the clock.
I’m alone — all my riches surround me. I have a bed, a room. I have a bed, a vase of flowers beside it. And a nightlight, a book.
I’m awake; I am safe. The darkness like a shield, the dreams put off, maybe vanished forever.
And the day — the unsatisfying morning that says I am your future, here is your cargo of sorrow:
Do you reject me? Do you mean to send me away because I am not full, in your word, because you see the black shape already implicit?
I will never be banished. I am the light, your personal anguish and humiliation. Do you dare send me away as though you were waiting for something better? There is no better. Only (for a short space) the night sky like a quarantine that sets you apart from your task.
Only (softly, fiercely) the stars shining. Here, in the room, the bedroom. Saying I was brave, I resisted, I set myself on fire.

Don't listen to me; my heart's been broken. I don't see anything objectively. I know myself; l've learned to hear like a psychiatrist. When I speak passionately, that's when l'm least to be trusted. It's very sad, really: all my life, l've been praised for my intelligence, my powers of language, of insight. In the end, they're wasted. I never see myself.
- Louise Glück, from *The Untrustworthy Speaker."

louise glück was an tremendous poet in her own life and also taught, advised, and nurtured uncountable other poets. her picking richard siken’s crush for the yale younger poets prize is a well known fact, but she selected a number of other poets for publication during her tenure as the contest judge that i think are worth knowing.
peter streckfus, cuckoo (2003)
richard siken, crush (2004)
jay hopler, green squall (2005)
jessica fisher, frail-craft (2006)
fady joudah, the earth in the attic (2007)
arda collins, it is daylight (2008)
ken chen, juvenilia (2009)
katherine larson, radial symmetry (2010)
poetry is a community! read her—and also read the poets she wanted to promote.
