Recently on the weekly program Poetry Moment on WPSU -- a radio station in Central Pennsylvania -- poet Marjorie Maddox featured work by another Pennsylvania poet and Emeritus Professor at Penn State University, Emily Grosholz.
Grosholz' featured poem, "Holding Patterns," is a villanelle: Here are its opening lines:
We can’t remember half of what we know.
They hug each other and then turn away.
One thinks in silence, never let me go.
The sky above the airport glints with snow
That melts beneath the laws it must obey.
We can’t remember half of what we know.
