Everything you need to understand or teach Standing on Earth Among the Cows.
"Standing on the Earth Among the Cows" is a contemporary lyric nature poem by poet and translator Malena Mörling. Originally published in the Winter 1992-93 issue of Ploughshares, "Standing on the Earth Among the Cows" conveys the speaker's awe at the interconnectedness of life. This realization stems from an ordinary moment in which the speaker pulls over in rural Wyoming after noticing a field of cows. Embracing the unity of all things cultivates serenity and equilibrium, but this state of being is not permanent. In the poem's present, the speaker wishes to recover a felt sense of kinship and belonging.
