"A New Year Greeting” by W. H. Auden - Poetry Tuesday No.152

Curious how addressing the microcosm, as Auden does here, draws attention to the macrocosm as well.

"Self-Portrait in which I Am Not Polite” by Denise Duhamel - Poetry Tuesday No.151
Просмотров 1821 день назад
This week's poem put me in mind of Louise Erdrich's "Advice to Myself" (Poetry Tuesday No. 34). It is from Duhamel's salty new chapbook "In Which." For those unfamiliar, a chapbook is a short, inexpensive book, usually of poetry, often on a theme. The text of this poem and another from the same chapbook can be read in the online journal Body Literature at: www.bodyliterature.com/2023/04/28/deni...

Просмотров 652 месяца назад
A dark and intriguing poem this week! What do you suppose is the relationship between the elf at the beginning of the poem and the man at the end? Are they one and the same? Is there a causal link? If you believe in one, must you believe in the other? What do you think?

    In the 1980s we had Stern as visiting professor. He was just a wonderful man with a keen eye and a giant heart. He could recite Ginsberg"s Howl lying on his back. 😂 In the workshops we called him Bad Jerry. That was when "bad" meant awesome. He was lovely. RIP my mishpocha🙏

    I just discovered this year, when you have an abundance of fresh tomatoes at the end of summer, you can just take six or eight of them and put them into a ziplock and stick them in the freezer fresh tomatoes throughout winter, well kind of fresh tomatoes LOL I use them to put into red lentil Curry

    You might consider overnight oats. I use maybe a mashed ripe banana or some dates and I put it into a mason jar with some maybe half a cup of raw oatmeal uncooked, I add to that a teeny bit of Vanilla some water tablespoon of cocoa powder and say I have a cup of water. I started stick it in the fridge and the next morning it is fantastic cold, or after dinner it makes a pretty yummy dessert while I'm watching TV also sometimes instead of chocolate I use peanut butter powder the sugar-free kind and add dates and or banana to that with the oats in the water and let it sit for a couple hours and yum! Again cold.

    What a surprise to hear my poem featured & so beautifully read; you read it coincidentally on our daughter's father's birthday. I was just sharing the poem with a friend who hadn't known Elizabeth, who in her own villanelle taught us all about loss. Please correct the spelling of my surname, & I hope you do enjoy reading Elizabeth's own poems aloud. Sandra McPherson, Davis, California.
