I just completed a fairly gigantic list of poet-translators whose work might be interesting, mainly for @ForgottenGPoems to take a look at. Looking back on it, this probably wasn't the best use of my time, but if anyone else wants to look, feel free to DM me.

Lovely, with unique imagery (clouds as scarves thrown over the shoulders of the sky!) Thanks for sharing.

And a poem I have shared before but which bears repeating. I have received hospitality so often and tried to give it, a value I inherited from people who had little but everything that mattered. This with thanks to @ForgottenGPoems by Irish poet and philosopher Tom Duddy.
“Our lives are franked”

I bookmarked this Kathleen Raine poem, and if I am remembering right, I also checked out a book of hers from the University of Idaho library because of having read it! x.com/ForgottenGPoem…
Twitter is not ideal for longer poems, but here's an extended lyric, "The Moment," by Kathleen Raine (thanks, @AndrewSchuman, for introducing this poet to me), taken from her 2001 Collected Poems.
If you're looking for accounts posting art, literature, and generally good stuff, here are some nice ones. I love—and learn from—their content! @IMcMillan @whatters1 @gutenberg_org @marysia_cc @CanadaPaintings @HaggardHawks @MayaCPopa @ForgottenGPoems @etiennejcb @ani_obsessive

Here's "Fish Clouds and Stars" by Canadian poet Bill Furey (1949- ). Taken from his second collection, Night Letters (Signal Editions, 1983).
Lovely, with unique imagery (clouds as scarves thrown over the shoulders of the sky!) Thanks for sharing.
Here's "Fish Clouds and Stars" by Canadian poet Bill Furey (1949- ). Taken from his second collection, Night Letters (Signal Editions, 1983).
Deep in the final revisions on my dissertation. This knives-out passage from David Yezzi's "The Violence of Allen Tate" does a lot of heavy lifting. @newcriterion
@ForgottenGPoems @PeterVertacnik Wow. So much to like about this poem, so many brilliant turns of phrase.
Missing the sweetest of rabbits, Oreo, who died on this day two years ago. Here he surveys his island kingdom:
@ForgottenGPoems Was talking about a ploughman and their work and lunch this week. Not so long ago is the past present.
@ForgottenGPoems Also a translator of Camoes, IIRC. I think the great @ShearsmanBooks reissued them.
Here's "The Last Day of Marriage," by Alistair Elliot (1932-2018). Taken from his Collected Poems, My Country (1989). One more of his tomorrow.
@ForgottenGPoems @geschwartz58 A great translator, among other things.
@RuthArnold @ForgottenGPoems Absolutely gorgeous Ruth ♥️
And a poem I have shared before but which bears repeating. I have received hospitality so often and tried to give it, a value I inherited from people who had little but everything that mattered. This with thanks to @ForgottenGPoems by Irish poet and philosopher Tom Duddy.
Ending the day with something beautiful and a poem. I am a huge admirer of people who have the skills to design and make beautiful clothes, as women did in my family generations before me. My great aunt Ruth was exceptionally talented. She’d have loved this. Maria Gallenga 1920.
“Our lives are franked”
Here's another poem by Lloyd Frankenberg (1907-1975): "The Years of Enormous Addresses." Taken from The Stain of Circumstance: Selected Poems (1974). Two more of his next weekend!
