The simple purity of Lily Tobias’ “Dawn Diminutive” is an elegant understated invitation to slow down and witness the honeyed radiance of morning, each “fresh/inch/inching”. Lily let The Dewdrop in on some of inspiration for her poem, explaining, “‘Dawn Diminutive,’ is a poem in the spirit of William Carlos Williams’ ‘The Locust Tree in Flower (second version).'”
