It makes me happy to be able to make poems when I can, in the midst of *lacrimae rerum*.

David Brooks somehow reminds me a little of Walt Whitman in this essay.

Eero Saarinen's Gateway Arch actually appeared to me, unheralded, in a dream once; then it became a fixture in my long poems; now I carry it around in my pocket.

For some reason lately I've been looking back through this trilogy, RAVENNA DIAGRAM, published 5-8 years ago by Dos Madres Press. Expensive books, sad to say, but beautifully designed and produced. And still in print.

The first volume of Emily Dickinson’s Poems was published posthumously 135 years ago, on November 12, 1890. After discovering the manuscripts in which Dickinson had collected her writing, her sister, Lavinia, worked to have the poems edited and published—igniting a bitter family feud in the process.

There's a John Berryman aspect in this poem I wrote Sunday night. Yesterday morning I got an email from an old organizer friend & colleague in Providence, work unrelated to poetry & writing. But this was deeply connected w/Berryman & an old unpublished ms. she has. Very spooky thing, spine-tingling.

Opinion | Stop the Bleeding: A proven plan for violence reduction in Minneapolis
Any deterrence plan must be focused, balanced and fair. The consent decree won’t suffice. But cities like Boston and Oakland offer templates, law professor Francis X. Shen writes.
