That might be the worst reading I've ever heard. It seemed as if he were reading it for the first time, and, at times, got a little overwhelmed by Stevens use of the language.
Her voice is so calming ♥♥
Excellent. I could listen to him all day. Thanks

Look, I was playing Book Bingo- I needed the poetry square for a new coffee mug. JUNK is a good book. I was reading it & got grumpy when I couldn’t finish it bc there was too much noise & not enough sound proof rooms at the library. I have no idea what the people on the back cover are going on about.
Beautiful reading. Thank you.
Great
The second poem gets deeper into the depths of poetic experience in fewer words! The milk and the rabbit are at the bottom of the totem-pole in the material world, in which colors continually abuse WS's eyes. In the spirit-world, illuminated by rabbit-light, the rabbit is king, at the top of the totem-pole, everything is for him, about him, connected to him.
Oh if Bill Murray comes to Bisbee he can read from my signed copy of Harmonium. I'll put him up for free. Bodega Suites.
So true
Bill gives the words room to breathe and the hearers' brains time to absorb. Beautifully done.
We have had the previlge of having our poetry anthologies housed here. We look forward to the completion of the contruction of this wonderful space.
Interesting.
Good poems...ubrigens...Salieri, whether he killed Mozart or not, his stuff isn't that bad.
Not that bad at all, but as a place from which to launch this poem, it's a delight. Heath-Stubbs was not only a consummate poetic craftsman, he was deeply knowledgeable in classical music and wrote about it often. Being almost totally blind from a young age, he took great joy in music.
@@tchaikovskiana9650 I am familiar only with the name of this poet. Probably read something of his in an anthology years ago...I will have to look further into his work. Thanks for the tip.
@@jesuisravi My pleasure. Some of it is hard-going, he was steeped in the classics and mythology, but when he was good, he was very, very good. I hope you have luck in your search. There's a JOHN HEATH-STUBBS: COLLECTED POEMS, 1943-1987 from Carcenet Press which a library could probably track down for you.
Lovely and moving.

Thank you! Just fantastic 💚 still shattering but just fantastic.

I loved Joe Stanton's reading. I want to tell him--you--?--I was one of the first recruits from NYC--City College to East West Center in Honolulu--where I lived the graduate student's life in 1960--started the first poetry magazine in what was supposed to be Melville's press in a journalism Professor's office. In 2004 I came to return those 3 Penny Papers sold at the a la moana mall--for 1 dollar and gave an invited reading for the University. They should have my book there too--GOING TO BED WHOLE and the Three Penny Papers in the archive. The 42bd street library has them too--and Brown University. I also worked too on Ka Lono--the University's literary magazine. I went to Japan afterward and taught a lot of classes there before the Olympics and joined John Cage and Yoko Ono in Hokkaido--I returned to NYC in 1963 and taught here in W. Penna. at a University and founded a myth and folklore center and taught Asian Studies and Creative writing here. I facilitate a poetry workshop in a library in Pittsburgh that was founded in 1978 (not by me). and I write and know (knew) W.S. Merwin's work in Haiku Hawaii. I loved your poem--my latest book I WANT TO THANK MY EYES is at POET'S HOUSE in New York. I would love to take your workshop or just know you, Joe Stanton. Wish I was back in Hawaii again. It was a challenging but charmed life in Oahu and I finally did visit Molokai where not too many people have been either --was interested in Father Damien's work. It all seems so long ago. I'm sorry we can't sit and tell stories of kings and read poems together. Glad you are giving this nature workshop. Would like to read more of your work too. And in these days of banned books--I tell the world how I went to Lahaina--Maui was hotel-less and we rode in a pink kaiser-fraser jeep just to visit the whaling community of boarded up houses where Melville stayed to learn his whaling and where he got the idea for MOBY DICK. If no one reads they can't have those sources. They should say something about Melville and Stevenson and their days spent on the Islands so full of riches--of nature's treasures and people who sang and fed you and lived under the trees. Please let me know about your workshops and readings.

Thank you
Great stuff!
The Best Swedish Meatballs, a savory delight, A dish to make at home, to savor all night. With Panko crumbs and spices, so unique, Allspice and nutmeg, a flavor to seek. Finely chopped onions, garlic powder too, Mixed with beef and egg, to make the meatballs true. Brown in a skillet, with butter and oil, Rolling them around, watching the meat uncoil. A sauce to make it perfect, with flour and broth, Heavy cream for creaminess, that's what you want. Worcestershire sauce and mustard, a secret spice, The flavor so rich, it's worth the price. Add the meatballs back, let them simmer and stew, Salt and pepper to taste, oh what a view! Swedish meatballs, so easy to make, A dish to remember, a flavor to take.
i loved this :)
Brenda Coutlas: I very much enjoyed your book "The Writing of an Hour." Thank you, Martha Ronk
I think I liked the last two best. The imagery, for me at any rate, is easier to grasp. I can see it better. There is, however, another poem by Stanford that I just found at the Poetry Foundation site that I really like a lot: The Light the Dead See.
It’s so wonderful to hear Asiya Wadud read her own poetry out loud! “L” is one of my favorite poems ❤
Wallace Stevens is great but WTF is this
Wtf lol no
I'm watching this in 2023. You said you hoped the crisis would be better next year. Unfortunately no one could have known what was coming in 2020!
Que DULCE!!!🥰🥰
Wow, 70,000 books of poetry!! So glad they survived the flood intact......Wonderful. Love Robert Bly--grateful for his beautiful poetry and wonderful that he created that poetic community......Manhatten to Brooklyn....."What we have loved is with us ever...."😍
The bear and the salmon is a great poem is there an interpretation?
Interesting!
Hi Willie. I have a question about your poem "Where I'm from". Has anyone already composed music for that poem? Kind Regards.
No. Not that I know of. Would love to hear something if you have a sound for it.
<3 love
