Settling in to read over here, but discovered this Joy Harjo poem for Adrienne Rich from the New Yorker that I had saved in 2016. It was exactly what I needed to read today … maybe you too?

The Collected Poems of Denise Levertov

The Collected Poems of Denise Levertov I don’t know if anyone has this yet, but I was so excited when it arrived — it’s over 1000 pages!!

Every morning before getting everyone out the door, I collect a few books of poetry to start my day — it’s not exactly random … I follow my intuition and see what unfolds …

This first came to me during the pandemic. I turn to it a lot. I don’t know how much I will post here, but I miss all of my friends! Hi. Good morning. Everything is terrible but we still have language. And our hearts.

On his birthday: One of my favorite passages from Don DeLillo’s Underworld. I remember specifically where I was in my house in Missoula reading this, coming across this section and gasping.

Jane Hirshfield • After • for those of us who find ourselves herding our thoughts in these days ...

It’s like Twitter 2008 when I shouted out into an echoing room … but better because so many of you are here waiting for me. Thank you. I imagine this place will be a nice respite … and now I suppose I should go write … may poetry find you today!

I’m not really here ;) … but if anybody is defecting from Twitter and wants to find me here … maybe I will eventually move over … or at least check in on you every once in a while here … - Pam

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Louise Glück. Glück was an extraordinary and cherished writer, & at Sarabande, we were lucky to have worked closely with Glück over the years. She was an inimitable talent, & her brilliant contributions will bring comfort to readers forever. ♥️

The room where I read in the morning. The cat that greets me. It’s still sort of depressing to think about cultivating another social media space — but I would miss the poetry and my literary/philosophical/psychoanalytic crossover that happens here —

It’s fitting that I post Jane Hirshfield first, right? this is from her collection The October Palace which I’m kind of obsessed with right now. And now I’m on my way to clean my yoga room which my ficus tree has made strangely sticky. How’s that for a first post? Hi.

Mnnn hello?
