  1. EVERYTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO by Tricia Yost is a complex poem that I find subtly disquieting and, oddly, a little comforting. It looks at a universal human condition: We will all grow old (if we are lucky), and most of us will not be allowed to do so with grace. Our bodies will begin to fail in ways that do not spare our dignity. “She tries not to notice / as she carries her body, which used to / carry her… ” is the heart of this poem for me.
