[Where was God? I dead-man floated] | Rust & Moth
Where was God? I dead-man floated in the deep end, staring at the nowhere of the bottom, sterile blue. Why was the skin on my mother’s fingers always scaly & breaking, as if with worry? Worry rustled ...

Hills Full of Holes
Part elegy, part pastoral, part ode to beloved and beleaguered set-asides, Hills Full of Holes journeys in widening understandings of injuries to body and land, and their possible recoveries.

Seamus Heany, translation of anonymous Irish lyric. His ear is unmatchable
Celan. Translated (exquisitely) Popov and McHugh. Whole worlds in a few words
Hey poets look what I found on the used books shelf - who’s read it?
Somehow, when I go back to Jack Gilbert I am never disappointed
I found this marvelous selection of the late great Gerald Stern. Poem after poem, a revelation.
Celan - from the wonderful translations of McHugh and Popov. The Wreck of the Solstice seems apt.
Bada Shanren, from the wonderful book of translations by Arthur Sze, The Silk Dragon II. From the late 17th century. So airy and contemporary
Milosz. I'm finally beginning to understand the depth of his work
Why and how Paul Celan's poems are so satisfying is a lovely mystery (trans Felstiner)
Um, wow. How's this for a warning shot? "Last night, the House of Representatives voted on H.R. 9495 —bill that would have given Trump the power to investigate and effectively shut down any tax-exempt organization based on a unilateral accusation of wrongdoing — without any explanation required.
hey bluesky just got a lot busier! Did something happen last week? 😱
