I love "Today"; these line especially:
"Of heavenly peace. Oh take me to yourselves,
Earth, sky, and spirit! Let me stand within
The circle of your transience, that my voice
May thrill the lonely silences with song"
I'll have to look into "Sequences": "the poems in Sequences constitute some of the most impressive religious poetry of this century." .

DF: "The Nobel Prize Twitter feed marked Fo's death, news of which came on the same day as the year's winner for literature, Bob Dylan was announced." - Most apropos. I like this quote: "Comedy makes the subversion of the existing state of affairs possible."

My link: most odd; should be page 360-36X or so of a Google Books: Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women: Antiquity Through Sui, 1600 B.C.E ... by Lily Xiao Hong Lee, A. D. Stefanowska, Sue Wiles

WdlM: Quite eclectic in his literary endeavors. He passed on where my Mother was born. I didn't realize Alfred, Lord Tennyson had roots in Twickenham also. Lovely poem.

I don't speak Spanish so the .wma wasn't helpful. I tried searching for more information online but information is sparse other than your link. She seems too important not to have a better internet presence

BE-I was hoping you read Spanish, because the many Spanish geographical references in California.
EL- Had never heard about her, though I know other authors from the same generation.Very touching life and poem. Appreciated specially that you posted it in German. Like other people in her particular condition, she believed that it was possible to live and raise a family in Nazi Germany.Here is a bilingual version of the poem: http://drifting-lines.blogspot.com.b...elizabeth.html
