“Portsmouth Harbor, New Hampshire”, by William James Glackens (1909)
“I am built of the scent
of August marsh,
wishing well verdigris pennies,
the first turn of leaf-molded dirt.
Tongue-rich smells
permeate my fingertips,
behind knees, inside elbows.’’
— From “After — For Adam,’’ by Portsmouth, N.H.-based poet and librarian Lesley Kimball
