As a previous comment says, to no avail, this poem is by Anne Porter, not Katherine Anne Porter.

A nation of white petals A dynasty of apples.

This is one of my favorite poems, but it is not by Katherine Anne Porter, the novelist. I don't think she published any poetry. It is by Anne Porter,1911-2011.

Seek out her poems, guys.. she's in her 90s now, a late starter in poetry but a living treasure of American and worldwide poetry..

why only one poem, you should write more, this was a beautiful one.

Beautiful. Simple words put together to make such a profound thought.

hmm, this poem is meaningful and important.....
