BREUGHEL, by TIMOTHY LIU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Hatchet marks in the trunk of a pine | ||||||||
Hatchet marks in the trunk of a pine. Winter cracking across that lake where the ice fishers gather -- ashes and a burning coal. What fire is this that the ragged men who huddle there now hold their hands out over it like the apostles of old. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
