Currently reading/enjoying:
“Temple Dogs,” by Ira Sukrungruang in Pithead Chapel. A touching essay (it does a lot in few words).
Hibernaculum by Sarah E. Colona. More on this later.
Gregory Orr’s How Beautiful the Beloved. A book I am grateful for! Full of wisdom and little happy-making poems. You can find some of these poems over at VQR Online. Here’s one gem:
Human heart
Human heart —
That tender engine.
Love revs it;
Loss stalls it.
What can make it
Go again?
The poem, the poem.

Happy weekend to you, friends!
I have Orr's book on my list. Love 'Human heart'. It seems he's turning new ground with these poems.
ReplyDeleteI always think of poetry as being related to brains, not hearts.
