Yes, SUNY Oneonta English professor Roger Hecht believes. He organized Hecht “Poets Against Fracking,” Friday, March 15, at First United Methodist Church.

“We believe there’s a place for poetry in politics,” said Hecht. “We can get people who are interested in the anti-fracking movement into poetry, and vice versa.”

Anti-Fracking Poems Explore Threats To Nature From Natural-Gas Drilling POETS/From B1 Hecht is part of the Binghamton-based “Band of Bards,” and Oneonta was the third stop in a five-city tour. “We started in February in Binghamton,” he said. “We had one in Ithaca last week, and we’ll be at the Albany Poetry Festival in April and Elmira in May.” • Which herds will we sicken when flowback & blowout spill spatter their pastures?

Which vineyards will we shutter when consumers boycott wines from the gasland?

Which school buses will be run off the road by heavy truck traffic & out of state drivers?

Hecht’s “Questionnaire for the Governor”

• Seven of the eight bards read, including

founder Mario Moroni, who read his three poems in his native Italian and handed out packets of translations.

“The 20th century is full of poets responding to environmental threats,” said George Hovis, Cooperstown, who emceed and read his own anti-fracking poem during the open mic. “There is a role for poetry in protecting the environment.”

For Jo Mish, resident artist in letterpress at Hartwick College, it’s a cautionary tale of a “Frankenstein” nature. “There’s a whole history of technologies gone amok,” he said, before reading poems printed and bound on his antique letterpress equipment.

“Fracking is just one more technology I don’t understand.”

Teresa Winchester couldn’t make the event, but e-mailed a poem inspired by a trip to Dimock, Pa., to visit fracking sites in April 2011. “It takes a worried mind to

And the bear grows bigger; his seething face has absorbed all the day’s light, his clawed paws are as turbulent as electricity at night.

Heart, the sunflowers have been extinguished by hurled rays, and I am dead to the day.

Rogers’ “To the Heart” • SUNY English professor Emily Vogel came with husband, SUNY Binghamton poetry professor Joe Weil, and their 3-monthold daughter, Clare.

“I’m fascinated by how an object can be useful and harmful at the same time,” she said. “In Ireland, they believe a poet can kill with words,” said Weil. He read his poem over traditional Irish music.

write a fracking poem,” she wrote in her introduction.

• Before the drillers came, We swilled Bud Lite, line-danced all night at Red Robin Inn. My greatest care: what to wear?

Yours? Would the Mets win again?

Winchester’s “The Great Divide”

• As did many of the poems, the entry Bertha Rogers of Bright Hill Press, Treadwell, focused on the natural beauty that will be lost rather than directly on fracking. “I moved up from New York and planted all these spruces,” she said. “They’re what I think of when I think of fracking.”

• I have taken up residence in the bear’s black body; the bear’s heart has devoured mine. I (all my thumping) am diminished.

A clock Loraine inherited, above, was undergoing repairs during the March 2012 fire, or would have been destroyed.

Rich, right, lost his collection of 300 lamps in the blaze, but has rebuilt his collection to 30.

After Fire, Log Cabin Rebuilt, Couple Home HOME/From B1 place,” said Rich. “I said, ‘Of course – that’s where the hole is’.”

“It went up fast,” added Loraine. “But there’s still lots to be done.”

You wouldn’t know it.

Though Rich lost most of his 300 antique oil lamps in the fire, 30 new ones, polished and gleaming in sunlight coming through wide windows, sit a specially designed deco-beam.

Snowflakes, crocheted by

daughter Jessica, hang in the windows, and Loraine’s new snowmen stand proudly on cabinets and bookshelves.

“I keep my snowmen out until there isn’t any snow left,” she said. “So I’ll probably take them down sometime in July.”

The home was furnished with garage-sale finds and items from Lettis Auction Service in Oneonta.

“This is exactly the table I wanted,” she said as she set out cups. “I got it at the Fly

Creek community yard sale – I mentioned I was looking for a table, and someone had this one.”

Though she lost her engagement and 25th anniversary rings, a chance stop by Zales’ annual diamond sale in Albany brought a serendipitous find. “I found my exact ring and it fit perfectly,” she said.

“I don’t like new things,” she added. “They’re fine, they look great, but they’re not mine – but we’ll get

used to them.”

One piece did escape – her great-grandmother’s clock was in the shop when the house burned. “We almost didn’t get it fixed,” said Rich. “But if we hadn’t, it wouldn’t be here today.”

Though they’re mostly settled, there are still days where they struggle with the loss. “Christmas was hard,” said Loraine. “I still have trouble when I think of the family pieces I lost. But we learned that if you put one foot in front of the other, the body follows.

“And the community was so supportive. We’d come back to our apartment” – the couple lived in Oneonta while the home was being rebuilt – “to find boxes of supplies sitting on our porch.”

In the bedroom, she held up the corner of a quilt.

“The Susquehanna Quilters make you a quilt when you lose everything,” she said.

Though the Tylers built the last home themselves, they admitted they didn’t have four years to build another. “But the contractor let us help – staining the banister, little things like that – it helped make it ours.”

And posing once again on their porch, Loraine said, “It’s beginning to feel like home.”
