About This Poem

 

"The poem came to me as somewhat of a confluence when I came across the Frost poem and heard Leonard Cohen's song 'Who By Fire?' on the same day. It also owes something to Doris Lessing's The Making of the Representative for Planet 8, in which all life on the planet, including sentient beings, becomes extinct during an ice age. I don't have any trouble accepting that human life on our planet is a finite phenomenon. It helps me to cope with our transient difficulties."
