POTTERY MAKER, by MARGARET MARCHAND BROWN First Line: Yellow the pueblo, sun! Last Line: To a woman. Subject(s): Craftsmanship; Pottery And Potters; Women | |||
Yellow the pueblo, Sun! Tanoa squats with her clay, kneading, Coiling rope on rope of rich red earth, Pinching, molding. O Sun, dry the tall olla! Tanoa's eager brown hands are waiting, Mixing chalk and water, pointing Her yucca brush. A good urn like Tanoa's Must sell for much gold, considering What Those Above gave for the making To a woman. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV |
