50 of Poetry's Most Poignant Lines

Stylist, my new favorite British magazine, has a great article called "50 Of Poetry's Most Poignant Lines". Click here to read it!

One of my favorite picks is by David Lehman, the head of The New School poetry department and also the series editor of The Best American Poetry series:

"When a woman loves a man, they have gone / to swim naked in the stream / on a glorious July day / with the sound of the waterfall like a chuckle / of water rushing over smooth rocks, / and there is nothing alien in the universe."

-When a Woman Loves a Man, David Lehman
