The version of the poem I have (In Understanding Literature) also includes the line about the glacier.

The poem does not mean the same thing without the last line, perhaps your poem ended on the next page? The contrast is vital to it,though. In my opinion atleast

Dear S Sink, I personally do not think that specific part should be there, because without it, the poem still makes sense and can be analysed correctly. There also is no mentioning of the missing piece on any other website, and the poem is published in books just the way it is on this webpage. Therefor I would just like to know where did you find the information about the missing part, because it can become very interesting if the poem has been published incorrectly. Or the case can be that the poet did not want that part to be published, that she maybe edited the poem before sending it to be published. I would really like more info on this! Thank you!

there is a missing line in this poem. after "eating popcorn" the poem goes:
the edge of the receding glacier
where painfully and with wonder
at having survived even
this far
we are learning to make fire.
without the glacier, the making a fire part doesn't make sense!
