A little update from @hollyannepoet.bsky.social and me over at @atriumpoetry.bsky.social:

The ugliest spectacle is that of artists selling themselves. Art as a commodity is an ugly idea... The artist as businessperson is uglier than the businessperson as artist. Ad Reinhardt …from an Artist that is held in high esteem among most conceptual artists I posted this on X in 2022

From my Against the Grain collection, Well.

Funny, grumpy poem from Jack Gilbert.

Happy Sunday, all. Just a quick found poem from me. Be careful out there.

' ... there’s always someone more Forced out of you, a hedgerow poet Or a hidden priest, a conjuror To heal those wounded by their shame, Uncover words that fit when hope expires And cold stars offer no grace.' iambapoet.com/wave/20-polly-walshe
