just to add an example of the opposite: one of the loveliest poets I've seen read (in recordings as I live in Greece) is Kaveh Akbar. He usually adds other people's poems into his sets- emerging poets and poets who have passed away- and reads under his allotted time. ❤️

It's my birthday and I'm reminding myself today that what really matters in a life well lived is the small, selfless acts of love and kindness that we do spontaneously, the effect they have on others, and the ripples they cause to make the world a slightly more loving place 🩷

I've almost quit poetry tens of times thinking I'm useless, but just counted the poems published in journals since I started poetry on and off in 2015 and it's 99, plus ones in pamphlets. Excited to see where the hundredth will go! Maybe then even try an entire collection? 😬

very tough day with my uncle who is terminally ill in a nursing home. I read him his favourite poem, Kavafi's 'Ithaca' again and again, and though he could not speak it was the only time he stopped groaning. Today don't forget to tell your people how much you love them.

Van Gogh shot himself in the chest in a field, walked out of the field and was brought to the clinic where he smoked his pipe and died two days later. I read his letters very slowly over several months, finishing on the 31st. I miss him.
