Testimony by Rita Dove

Testimony by Rita Dove

1. Is she saying that embracing the little things in life will give you the most pleasure?
2. Is she actually talking about the literal Earth or is it a metaphor for something else?
3. Does not giving something a name or discovering something new leave out all the negative things associated with it?
4. What is the message that this poem is trying to send?
5. By saying "the world called, and I answered. Each glance ignited to a gaze. I caught my breath and called that life," does she mean that she embraced the world and everything within it?
