Happy birthday to one the poets whose work is closest to my heart. And two of the most unforgettable conversations I've had on the show as well.

Do poets need to care about prosody? Or is it simply the purview of literary scholars, the stuff of academic, bloodless analysis? In this craft lab w/ @jdeshpan, we’ll take a more personal approach to prosody, exploring what it can mean to us and why. brooklynpoets.org/events/all…

Some days I don’t know if it’s fair of me, built
as I am, a man, unable to carry every inch of an idea
into the future.

I wish it were possible to rly convey this to non-creatives: It’s not just about having enough time to write (or sculpt, or compose, or whatever). It’s about having enough time to quiet your mind first. That part is the hardest.
Tomorrow night! With @AmyRebeccaKlein @grace_wilentz and Sara Berkeley!
