Another remarkable poem by Marianne Boruch, this one demonstrating Robert Pinsky's observation that "[h]er poems often give fresh examples of how rare and thrilling it can be to notice."
“The elegies began writing themselves.” A poem by Mary Biddinger.
Tomas Tranströmer, tr. Patty Crane ~ I must go out into the greenness that's filled with memories, and they follow me with their gaze.
John Yau ~ My brother and I want to be held in that cold hard glue some zealots still call the world
"At the farthest remove from knowledge, the poem is exemplarily a thought that is obtained in the retreat, or the defection, of everything that supports the faculty to know. And no doubt this is why the poem has always disconcerted philosophy." Badiou
John Yau ~ Don't make friends with my dog I used to collect ideas until I realized I don't have any of my own Learn to shirk your duties
Rilke, tr. MacIntyre ~ "Initiation" Whoever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room, of which you know each bit, your house is the last before the infinite, whoever you are.
Zachary Schomburg ~ How do you tell someone their family is tiny insects? How do you tell someone their boy is a hummingbird?
oh wow this checks out in a very strange and perfect way
Haneke’s storyboard for The Piano Teacher // Paul Klee’s Forgetful Angel
Natalie Diaz ~ Just as my own mouth is dreamed to thirst / the long desire-ways, the hundred-thousand light year roads / of your throat and thighs.
