i love reading haiku bc it’s either something that rotates the world on an alternate axis + spins you back out to yourself or else a profound waste of time + there is no in between + it only takes 8 seconds either way
Anne Carson being unbelievably great
i thought the folks who usually post “it’s gonna be may” memes were remarkably restrained this year + would like to recommend it to the star war clubs for next year
Because I am not silent the poems are bad —George Oppen, from one of his daybooks
Poetry hive mind. Anyone had much joy making poetry films (as in, backdrop, reading to camera/voiceover) with no equipment more professional than a crapular iPhone and some donkus-proof free editing app? Tips/links much appreciated.
i understand it could be my bubble, but don’t think so. twitter has gotten small. lit twitter, smaller. convos are less, and less varied. lots of talking past. a few enclaves, but even they’re wary and weakly engaged. taked to death.
[explaining twitter] everywhere, as far as you can see, horizon-round, it’s the same: people dead on hills
fantastic interview
@nomopoetry it ain't all Beaujolais and Vinho Verde. The good ones take time.
it’s of course fitting that nat’l poetry month is in the cruelest month + after a month of it: may day
hello me what is up
My new poem to put an END to #NationalPoetryMonth 2024. Goodbye, jerko!
@nomopoetry Horace let them sit ten years. Shakespeare didn't let them sit at all. Thank God for both of them.

@nomopoetry @AgingSoulWriter Feels like a booby prize when it’s just the same words I just read though 🤣
@jennfrey I’m in confirmation classes now and they are… terrible.
@jennfrey This is such a serious area of need in the Church. Volunteers, while valuable, do not always have the breadth of knowledge or teaching skill to serve catachumens well. I was surprised this was not brought up more in the synod on synodality of late.
Mistake unless we are suddenly going to make those classes much, much better. RCIA was something I had to endure.
Reading the new National Statutes for the Christian Initiation of Adults - if I understand it correctly there's an expectation for a notably longer period of formation for catechumens than has been the norm in most places.
@PoetSarahDoyle Thing is I still think they’re an awesome poet, which is quite annoying!
@GGeorgiahilton Oh Georgia, that's awful, I'm so sorry. 😭You always have the option of an oblique critique of their oeuvre in a future poem of your own. Revenge could be yours in the mere blink of a year or two. x
I had an excruciating experience once where I went to the launch of a much more established poet’s book and discovered they’d written a whole poem mocking one of mine. It wasn’t obvious to anyone else though so I was just privately humiliated, which is quite fitting really 😂
Imagine if poets were like rappers, and we wrote diss-poems about each other, but had to wait six months for that work to be accepted, then another six while the mag dealt with printer issues, and finally the poem would appear and 20 people would know how we felt a year ago.
@freekwiedijk I don't think so. As far as I know (this is from Richard Pevear's intro to Gogol's short stories, minus the bit about the tweet), he got every copy and burned all of them.
@duncanreyburn Gogol was good at burning manuscripts
@duncanreyburn And transcribing it for your records before giving the copy you received back = screenshotting
@MorrisSteam I feel sorry for him — and for us. No doubt, his version of a deleted tweet would outdo the many examples we have of things we've said that we'd rather have destroyed.
In 1828, at the age of 19, Nikolai Gogol wrote and, at great personal expense, published and sold an embarrassing romantic poem, which he then bought back from everyone he’d sold it to and burned all the copies. This was the usual way to delete a tweet back then.
@duncanreyburn And Gogol was prone to this sort of thing.
