regale me with snow:
whenever I strode through the summer
shoulder to shoulder with the mulberry tree,
its youngest leaf
shrieked.

scars on her arm from twenty cuts. Now they look
like white stems. I have only seen them
twice. But I have seen them hundreds of times in
my mind. Isn’t that how love works?

“I was also wondering whether this image of the light filtering through, it’s almost a space in which your poems exist?” Great comment, brilliant collection.

Dark Night by John of the Cross in this weeks LRB
brilliantly translated by Martha Sprackland—
there i stayed
and there forgot
my cheek lay on my beloved fair
and all things ceased and i was lost
and all my worldly doubt and care
were sunk among the lilies there

Watching Edward Norton, on Colbert, talking about Walt Whitman.
I like Edward Norton. Lot of people would rather he yucked it up, kept it light & breezy, but it's refreshing to see someone care about poetry.
He knows it isn't popular with the masses but he talks about what he cares about regardless.
