Finding Unintentional Connections in Poetry

The speaker discusses a poem about the meeting of human and animal, reflecting on the connection between their chosen poem and another by Ellen Bryant Voigt. Initially, there was no conscious link, but upon further reflection, similarities between the poems emerged. The speaker selected each poem for personal reasons, but upon compiling them, realized they shared strange similarities. A specific line from one of the poems, 'I wanted a day with cracks to let the godlight in,' is highlighted for breaking out of the established descriptive frame and rhetoric of the poem.
