If,
when you are there, you see women
wading on the water
and clouds in the valley,
the smell of rain,
or a lotus blossom rises out of round green leaves,
remember there is always something
besides our own misery.

— Linda Hogan Rounding the Human Corners (2008)

Blessed are they who listen
when no one is left to speak.

They think these are only stories
not what holds the world together
in its balance.

A History of Kindness (2020)

This land is the house we have always lived in

Dark. Sweet.: New & Selected Poems (2014)

It really is true that the history of your people and your land is in the human body.

Some men sleep
with loose hands that by day are fists
holding fear
