A final post for #nationalpoetrymonth : #EmilyDickinson  

"A WORD.

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day."

-Emily Dickinson

Another post for National Poetry Month: 

"The advantage of poetry over life
is that poetry, if it is sharp enough, 
may last."
-- Louise Glück

What’s humors’ proper weight in poetry? How well does light verse age? Can comedy gain new meaning in context? I’m just smart enough to ask I guess, answers pending.

The April Parlando Project #NPM2026 #PoemsAloud series continues with an LYL Band performance. frankhudson.org/2026/04/09/a...

#NPM2026 #PoemsAloud I’m hoping for a busy April National Poetry Month presenting some other poets’ poems combined with a variety of music I record.

This lakeside Spring nature poem by George Dillon is the first in the series: parlando.libsyn.com/memory-of-la...
Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet: Memory of Lake Superior
I kick off our annual celebration of U. S. National Poetry Month with the first of a series of poems (some well-known, some, like this one, less-known) found in the 20th century anthology Modern ...

I awoke early this morning to the white magic of April snowfall in Minnesota & to delight in the tale of Yeats casting out Crowley by invoking the spell of bad debts to the landlord.

I’ll leave it to you to wonder if poetry needs more wizard battles during this #NPM2026 #NationalPoetryMonth

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

November - Amy Lowell The vine leaves against the brick walls of my house, Are rusty and broken. Dead leaves gather under the pine-trees, The brittle boughs of lilac-bushes Sweep against the stars. And I sit under a lamp Trying to write down the emptiness of my heart. Even the cat will not stay with me, But prefers the rain Under the meagre shelter of a cellar window.

#PocketPoem #NPM2026 Here’s my short post on a short Langston Hughes poem & 2 minute musical piece for Poem In Your Pocket Day/International Jazz Day.

frankhudson.org/2026/04/30/l...
DRUM By Langston Hughes Bear in mind That death is a drum Beating forever Till the last worms come To answer its call, Till the last stars fall, Until the last atom Is no atom at all, Until time is lost And there is no air And space itself Is nothing nowhere, Death is a drum, A signal drum, Calling life To come! Come!

Cassandra bitterly dismissing the gift of prophecy as a trick in this masterful poem of compressed characterization by Louise Bogan. It tears through her like a song she writes—and so I do so, with my rough-hewn voice at the Parlando Project. #PoetryAloud #NPM2026

Louise Bogan is somewhat of a poet’s poet – and that’s sort of a mixed blessing. Earning that title means that other folks who work at the craft of poetry recognize the things she’s able to do even…

Happy #NationalPoetryMonth!

Here's a snippet from Aimee Nezhukumatathil's "Invitation."

Dive into her collection OCEANIC on @hoopladigital:

#NPM2026
Celebrate National Poetry Month ...Squid know how to be rich when you have ten empty arms. Can you believe there are humans who don’t value the feel of a good bite and embrace at least once a day? Underneath you, narwhals spin upside down while their singular tooth needles you like a compass pointed towards home. If you dive deep enough where imperial volutes and hatchetfish swim, you will find all the colors humans have not yet named, and wide caves of black coral and clamshell. A giant squid finally let itself be captured in a photograph, and the paper nautilus ripple-flashes scarlet and two kinds of violet when it silvers you near. Who knows what will happen next?... - Aimee Nezhukumatathil, American poet (1974- ), from "Invitation" in her collection Oceanic (images: New City Library logo; background photo of a blue jellyfish with glowing tentacles in dark water by Tyler Mower, courtesy of Unsplash)
