The Sudden Thing I Trust — Poetry

About the Substack

Poetry of forest, childhood, loneliness, neighborhood, dread, rubble, family, inconsolable loss and improbable joy

About Scudder Parker

A preacher who gave up preaching, a politician no longer seeking election, a gardener who gives away much of what he grows, a parent instructed by children and grandchildren, and a writer constantly astonished by the poem of the world.
