love the poets corner ! keeping poetry alive and full of vitality and wonder
God bless you all 🙏 ... well into my 60s and having neglected poetry so far in my life (sic) how lucky of me to be introduced to it by your wonderful readings and conversations on Rilke. Thank you so much
Delightfully insightful…
Erudite discussion. Greeting from a follower of Sri Aurobindo from India, who mentioned Rilke in his book "Future Poetry ".
Book: Racist Mother of Black Son. CRV publisher. This one is mandatory. Very worth reading. Published in Brazil
My sister and I were raised in Christian Science. For me, one who has mystical experiences, I considered it the greatest blessing that I had that metaphysical orientation. I got results through working with the practitioner. It was opposite for my younger sister and for her it was child abuse. How strange that we could have completely opposite experiences.
Thank you for sharing such talent with so many people. Monique’s very soul spoke and nourished me.
Beautiful poems, beautiful reading

How wonderful to hear Gary Lawless representing us happy lucky idiots of poetry
