On a work trip with my workwife of 15 years, sent her the Bridesmaids poem before we head off to a conference. Yesterday on the plane we talked about our kids, our marriages and sex lives, our aging parents and periods and constipation. We talked about our teenage heartbreak, our exhaustion of corporate America and how we yearn for a creative life. We talked about how quickly this life is going but how long the days can seem. How when we first met, in our 20s we'd go dancing and dance all night. How now we can't seem to stay up til 9. The beauty and exhaustion of being mothers, and managers, and wives and daughters and how little time we have for each other. But thankful for the time we do have, and how funny it is for the poor men in front of us who heard the whole damn thing.

AT end of Kate interview, the poet you meant was Yeats, not Auden (But isn't he also wondrous?!)
