A page from "Breathnexus", a long poem about the beginning of the pandemic. I livestreamed a reading of this from my living room in May of 2020, posted on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/750ipb2Uj_E
Currently reading this gem. Just finished the Joanne Kyger interview in which she talks about "the Homer Dome": a way of mapping her own life and experiences onto a Homeric narrative. "I liked the long human story going on...the things that make me feel common over at least ten thousand years. I'm part of the past romantics, and that is timeless and it's charming and it's breathing with the animals still." Next: Anselm Hollo! #poetry #poetics
Kalele shows off her new sweater (and the recent haircut that made it necessary). OK, really she's wondering why I'm holding up some rectangular thing and trying to get her to look at me. #cosodogs
