Walking in low winter sun, dazzled in both senses: beauty & blinding feels related to the impossible act of seeing ourselves head on, how often insight arrives aslant, the sharp clarifying prism of encountering self as stranger, a breathtaking tenderness Marie Howe articulates In What The Living Do
Text of Marie Howe’s poem What the Living Do, which reads Johnny, the kitchen sink has been clogged for days, some utensil probably fell down there. And the Drano won't work but smells dangerous, and the crusty dishes have piled up waiting for the plumber I still haven't called. This is the everyday we spoke of. It's winter again: the sky's a deep, headstrong blue, and the sunlight pours through the open living-room windows because the heat's on too high in here and I can't turn it off. For weeks now, driving, or dropping a bag of groceries in the street, the bag breaking, I've been thinking: This is what the living do. And yesterday, hurrying along those wobbly bricks in the Cambridge sidewalk, spilling my coffee down my wrist and sleeve, I thought it again, and again later, when buying a hairbrush: this is it. Parking. Slamming the car door shut in the cold. What you called that yearning. What you finally gave up. We want the spring to come and the winter to pass. We want whoever to call or not call, a letter, a kiss-we want more and more and then more of it. But there are moments, walking, when I catch a glimpse of myself in the window glass, say, the window of the corner video store, and I'm gripped by a cherishing so deep for my own blowing hair, chapped face, and unbuttoned coat that I'm speechless: I am living. I remember you.

When I say RFK Jr should be fired, I want to be clear that I mean out of a cannon.

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

It’s been some time since my old YouTube poetry readings, so I’m really looking forward to chatting with poets about their own poems as well as the poems that inspire them. Recordings are starting now for the mid-October launch! 18 poets lined up for our first season

Not an interview, more like a conversation. That’s the goal. It should be fun!

Invitations have all been sent and so far 13 poets confirmed for season one, launching this October.

We were preparing the social media accounts for our upcoming fall poetry podcast when Instagram started suggesting the page for people to follow. So, I guess we’re promoting early now! 😀
