The vivid poems in our March issue describe escapes of two very different kinds. In Robert P. Cooke’s “Mountain Flowers” a young man slides into wistful fantasies as he drives his truck past clotheslines in the hills of Colorado. In Wendy Drexler’s poem, a vibrant retelling of a familiar story from the Bible, Noah’s wife flees not only the flood but the swarming, riotous ark that carried her away from it.
