Denise Levertov - Apr 11, Sunday Fun & Chair Class

Some people are poets and some are explainers. In Iyengar Yoga more teachers are explainers, a few are poets, some are both. I’m an explainer, but I like poets! What are you?

Artist to Intellectual (Poet to Explainer)

‘The lovely obvious! The feet

supporting the body s tree and its crown

of leafy flames, of fiery

knowledge roaming

into the eyes, that are lakes, wells, open

skies! The lovely

evident, revealing

everything, more mysterious

than any

clueless inscription scraped in stone.

The ever-present, constantly vanishing,

carnal enigma!’
