Poetry society of america "In their own words" series, Lindsay illich on "snowbound: An American idyll"

Like snow on a television screen, it seemed like the snow coming down from the sky was some sort of reverse rapture in which the world was being heaped upon with the nothingness of being, like a snow apocalypse. And then it's just you, a self alone even amid multitudinous connections, another kind of nativity.
