The opening poem of Dara Barrois/Dixon’s Tolstoy Killed Anna Karenina (@WavePoetry) is a jaw dropper, I’m whew so into it (“If You Are Lucky”) https://t.co/pzvvEnVE9b

“Of all our games, love’s play is the only one which threatens to unsettle the soul… the lover who leaves reason in control does not follow his god to the end.” —Marguerite Yourcenar, trans. Grace Frick, Memoirs of Hadrian https://t.co/F8900p8FwE

Anne Carson’s Eros the Bittersweet can be so difficult to track down—I was literally just complaining about it yesterday—and today (!) the library came through 💞💞💞 https://t.co/InrkmNWvR1

My #TheSealeyChallenge day 1 read: Human Resources (@Milkweed_Books) by Ryann Stevenson—an eerie, vivid, personal, imaginative portrayal of these tech-diffused/infused times. Totally absorbing 🖤 https://open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com/products/06-14-2022-human-resources-by-ryann-stevenson?_pos=1&_sid=d422de3f3&_ss=r @openpoetrybooks

@jorie_graham @BenPurkert Yes 🖤 I love thinking about the relationship of poems to secrets, and poems as encounters that require genuine curiosity and humility to conjure—

frank: sonnets has come up in the workshop I’m teaching at @openpoetrybooks (+ in many other contexts) again and again—It’s really beautiful and rare, how this book connects meaningfully with so many different people. Hugest congrats on the Pulitzer, @dlseuss!! ✨✨✨
