Description

Meltzer’s 1977 classic Two-Way Mirror, a “notebook” on the craft of poetry (tree, bird, sky, earth, you) 

Excerpt
We are talking, but not together. To speak together would mean the same voice, the same words, while we both move mouths together against the air of a room. We are talking about God. You say it is an energy, it is manifest in light. When I think of energy, I think of Niagara Falls whose energy is manifest in electricity which lights the lights above our heads. You say God is a word we clothe the invisible with. We dress what we cannot see in words. Does the invisible speak to you? No. It speaks through you. Now I know the secret of words.
