Business lunch. This is from a negative in my collection, ca. 1970s. When I posted this to Bluesky previously, a sharp-eyed follower identified the likely location as the dock in front of the Lightship Ambrose in NYC!

Color photo of a white man in a dark suit, sitting on a bench on a boardwalk or other outdoor wooden space. He's eating lunch on top of a briefcase and has a sandwich in one hand, but hold up a little tin in his other hand for a shorthaired brown tabby cat that is stretching up to reach the bench next to him. It looks like it could have been a sardine tin or something similar. Overall it looks like this man is on his lunch break from work but also giving a treat to a friendly stray. It looks like there is a large red boat in the background.

increasingly i like to describe the writing i love most as “soulful.” full of seeking. full of reaching for another’s hand. techniques of verbal restraint or seeming coldness serve always an underlying vulnerability and warmth and tenderness (or a deep longing for these)

What matters to me even more than the shapeliness and the dance of language is what the poem discovers deeper down… I respond most to what is found out about the heart and spirit, what we can hear through the language. —Linda Gregg, from “The Art of Finding”
