Wishing a Happy 75th Birthday to Michael Rothenberg (1951-2002) today. You were an outstanding poet, an inspiration, a great activist, a wonderful mentor, an engaging ZOOM friend, & a cool nurseryman. I may not have known you long Michael, but I knew you were smart and strong person from day 1

Reading Charles Baudelaire's "Always Be Drunk" today - sometimes life makes you want to feel this way. Gotta love this writer's glorious and down-to-earth masterpiece, as well as his other poems :) #poetry #CharlesBaudelaire #Poems

"Ain't Beaten Yet" by Claes Cem, a song I first heard when I was 19, popped into my head today - a reminder not to give up in hard times & not to forget fighting & speaking for what you know is good & right in the world! Share the song if you agree & like it :)

Some poems inspire multiple generations - thinking of a poem I read back in college today, a short and powerful one by the nature poet, William Wordsworth. I used his poem for reference in one of my own written pieces during the height of the pandemic - #ClassicEnglishPoets #FormerPoetLaureates

Here's a lovely poem about a father's love for his daughter - Amos B. Alcott to Louisa May Alcott, beloved author of "Little Women." I'm printing and sharing it at my next poetry workshop. It's a nice little piece of history, love, respect, and joy ♥️ #poetry #poemsoflove #poemsofadmiration

This poem is a reminder that dark poetry can hold widespread appeal and relatability. I found "I Was Dying" randomly on the web one day and have admired it ever since. I hope readers do too! #Darkpoetry #Anomymousauthor.

Spent some free time reading Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket 🌉) this week, and he emphasized the moment he discovered Charles Baudelaire. As a reader, I'm inspired to check out the author. Here's "Man and the Sea," by the poet himself #CharlesBaudelaire #Poetry #PoemsabouttheSea #poetrydiscovered
