This Hayden Carruth for you poets out there The Poet For he is all and all of pain, attracting every new injury
wholly to be a fool while Spring is in the world my blood approves. -e.e. Cummings, "since feeling is first"
The new issue of @arcpoetry carries not one, not two, but six poems by Vernon Duke in my translation. In the selection he covers the LA scene with great gusto. The sweet poem below speaks to his zest for life. Thank you, Luba Markovakaia and Chris Johnson! arcpoetry.ca/editorials/mag…
"I think of my aunt often, and wonder about her, and about the words that she wrote on that scrap of paper, words that must have been long in her head. And I marvel, not for the first time, at the secrets people keep, for themselves, and for others..." jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2024/04/25/thi…

Jarvis is pissed because I’m glued to the news and not heading to the sleeping quarters, per schedule, at 10 PM on the dot. I keep telling him, “Five more minutes, man!”
i am so tired of the inside of my own brain. wanna swap for a vacation-from-self?
I am looking to expand my poetry library. I’m curious about what poets you absolutely love … translations, contemporary or classic — anything goes …
one of the best dates I had took me to the Royal College of Physicians to look at the anatomical tables, after which he pulled a chilled bottle of Krug from his bag in the rose garden of Regent’s Park history.rcplondon.ac.uk/collections/ar…

“I don’t find solitude agonising . . . Holes in paper open and take me fathoms from anywhere.” — Beckett in a letter (Jan. 26, 1959)
Poor Radu. I must cut his hair today but it is nice to see him sunbathing on that wretched pillow.
Longing like sitting in a bar alone with your thoughts, with sorrow and memory; longing like the pensive heroine in a silent black and white film, like an abandoned sofa at the highway and its outlaw owner; longing like sundowns as red carpets and life's epilogues
