This is a celebration of a moment, a night of music and dancing, in a country place. Romance that might have only been a momentary spark, but still a moment of beauty and joy none the less. There's an element of the romantic in that ethereal, ephemeral moment, and I have always considered myself a great fan of the romantic in poetry. I wanted a simple, conversational language, but also an intricately woven language here, with interlocking imagery like lacework. A density to the patterns much like the density of the tight stitched picking in bluegrass music. Raleigh has been the home of the bluegrass festival now for some time, and this will be the one odd year in the string, when the event goes virtual. Somehow it just won't be the same without the Krueger Brothers, Rhianna Givens, Chatham Rabbits, and the Steep Canyon Rangers up on the stage. estory
