In The UFO Over Portland Sara Clancy captures a fleeting moment where the extraordinary collides with the mundane. With humor and keen observation the poem explores the delicate line between belief and disbelief as a strange sight in the sky causes a ripple of wonder and near chaos. The poem deftly plays with the imagination highlighting how easily our grip on certainty can slip leaving us to question the boundaries of possibility. A sharp playful reflection on perception mystery and the unexpected awe that turns ordinary moments into near catastrophes of wonder.
