It’s not that I disagree that lyric poetry is an exalted artform… in some cultures. In Anglo-American culture, I’m sorry, but the vital roles of bard and gadfly are largely filled by rappers or singers and by stand-up comedians. Poets are culturally irrelevant.

The secret to happiness as a poet is simply to accept that writing poetry is just another obscure hobby, like building ships in bottles or writing open-source code. You’re in it for the sheer joy and beauty of it. Once in a while someone will express appreciation. That’s enough.

My favorite ascension image is also one of the oldest from Syria. Note the gender arrangement of those in charge after Jesus leaves. Women at the center, non-binary angels in the middle then men on the outside. -from the Rabbula Gospels (cod. Plut. I, 56), Syria, 586.
