She was 83. She wrote with the sensibility of a small-town midwesterner who was married for more than 60 years, combining the thoughts and humor of ordinary people with elegant poetic forms. Her poems often ended with a subtle insight of universal human concern. Mona Van Duyn, a midwesterner whose work was narrow in scope, often was called a "domestic poet," though she disliked it.

Tow-head bent, she stands on one leg and folds up the other. She is listening to the sound of her fingernail on a scab on her knee. If I were her mother I would think right now of the chastening that ridiculous arrangement of bones and bumps must go through, and that big ear too, till they learn what to do and hear. People don't perch like something seen in a zoo or in tropical sections of Florida. They'll have to buy her a cheap violin if she wants to make scraping noises. She is eight years old. What in the world could she wear that would cover her hinges and disproportions? Her face is pointed and blank, the brows as light as the hair. "Mother, is love God's hobby?" At eight you don't even look up from your scab when you ask it. A kid's squeak, is that a fit instrument for such a question?
