I think a lot about how a residency fellow once cautioned, "some things - prison, starvation, war - are more than just metaphors. Be careful when using them in your writing..."

Mary Ruefle on the “panic” caused by the indeterminate “you” in poems - this has come up so many times in workshop that I might start bringing this as aegis to every one…

Learned that the term “crocodile tears” entered English during the Elizabethan era via Greek tales of a mysterious beast that moaned like a human to lure its prey, then after eating, would cry out in pity for the consumed.

sometimes i wonder if i write poetry because it is the genre most accommodating of my brief attention span, so i can constantly switch topics/metaphors/images/points of view without having to support the weight of traditional teleological narrative. is this a thing?

initially, i thought this piece of storm-tossed flotsam was some sort of beige medical device, but then i realized it’s an effaced & limbless Mr Potato Head, which is a poem: a sad, sad, poem.

Sad to see an “old guard” set of writers defending PEN America, without also addressing its embarrassing & harmful apolitical positioning re: Palestine - as if an organization can’t do good with one hand & wrong with the other. It’s disheartening, from scholars I respect.
