I had the incredible honor to have *disrhythmic [link] record one of my poems on #Elocutionists [link]. What a beautiful treat. Her voice is so magnificent, it really brings "Ishtar Retrograding" to life. I never felt particularly proud about this piece but now I love it more than ever.

Thank you so much *disrhythmic!

" If a poem can be paraphrased the sheets haven't been rumpled, poetry hasn't spent the night"
-O. Mandelstam.

"The message in the bottle is a lyric poem and thus a special kind of communiqué. It speaks out of a solitude to a solitude; it begins and ends in silence. We are not in truth conversing by the side of the road. Rather, something has been written; something is being read. Language has become strange in this urgent and oddly self-conscious way of speaking across time. The poem has been (silently) en route—sometimes for centuries—and now it has signaled me precisely because I am willing to call upon and listen to it. Reading poetry is an act of reciprocity, and one of the great tasks of the lyric is to bring us into right relationship to each other. The relationship between writer and reader is by definition removed and mediated through a text, a body of words. It is a particular kind of exchange between two people not physically present to each other. The lyric poem is a highly concentrated and passionate form of communication between strangers—an immediate, intense, and unsettling form of literary discourse. Reading poetry is a way of connecting—through the medium of language—more deeply with yourself even as you connect more deeply with another. The poem delivers on our spiritual lives precisely because it simultaneously gives us the gift of intimacy and interiority, privacy and participation."

-Edward Hirsch. (The Poetry foundation) [link]
