AMERICAN LIFE IN POETRY Column 594

By Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate

�

��

Possum in the Garbage He was a surprise of white: his teeth like knives, his face a triangle of albino dislike. I had seen him before, on our back porch, where my father sometimes left watermelon rinds, and he dipped his tongue into them, his skin glowing beneath our lights, like some four-legged relative of the moon. I knew him as a citizen of the night: a fainting, ghostly presence with a tail so naked it was embarrassed to drag behind him. But that morning, terriﬁed and violent, he was different: a hissing fury at the bottom of the garbage can, a vampire bathed in light.

Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate, 2004-2006

Our Dear Wine Classic Supporter, Friend and Patron of the Arts, Sara Miller McCune of Montecito, created a special fund to honor her Dear Friend Léni Fé Bland, who recently passed just short of her 100th birthday. Léni sponsored many projects benefitting the community during her lifetime, including music, dance and theatre, as well as the thoughtful embracement of beneficial social programs.

The Fund will bring together performing arts organizations in Santa Barbara including the Granada Theatre, UCSB Arts & Lectures, CAMA, State Street Ballet, Ensemble Theatre, Music Academy of the West, Opera Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara Symphony. The proceeds of this fund are to be utilized for bulk purchase of tickets for children to attend wonderful and age-appropriate arts performance in Santa Barbara.
