Editor’s Note: Irene Willis, author of our Poetry Monday column for many years, died Jan. 3 of natural causes in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. She was 96.
She will be greatly missed and leaves us with many fond memories. Irene had been editing her latest book, Before We Had Pockets: Uncollected Poems and Essays, which IP Books plans to publish posthumously. Here is a selection from that book, as her final contribution to Poetry Monday:

Could any ever serve

Or the unblemished sense
of time without end
before it rushed on without me?
