Brad Leithauser

Brief flush through the window

Autumn in New Hampshire woods

“We’re in New England, after all.

Though rippling foliage fills
the pane, the flush that tints the wall

will last a week or two, no more.’’

— From ”North-Looking Room,’’ by Brad Leithauser (born 1953), American novelist, poet and teacher.
