I just read that Leonard Cohen was born on this date in 1934. He was a good poet. Under-read I think, as people focus on his music more. I love this one:

My next poetry collection, Wound Archive, will be published in April! These minimalist experimental poems archive the wound left by the concurrent ending of a relationship and the beginning of a chronic invisible illness. Pre-orders available now 🙏 ghp-pql.com/products/wound-a…

Two images. One of four headshots of Anna Veprinska, Jim Johnstone, Shane Neilson, and Amy Leblanc. Orangey-peach, I think, in colour as background? Photo of Jim and Shane in B&W; of Anna and Amy in colour. The other image is of The_Cost_of_Living, a collaboration between Shane Neilson and Alan Bleakley, showing a B&W cross-section of a tree trunk on a beach.

“Feelings: oh, I have those; they govern me.”

I speak because I am shattered. —Glück
The Red Poppy by Louise Glück The great thing is not having a mind. Feelings: oh, I have those; they govern me. I have a lord in heaven called the sun, and open for him, showing him the fire of my own heart, fire like his presence. What could such glory be if not a heart? Oh my brothers and sisters, were you like me once, long ago, before you were human? Did you permit yourselves to open once, who would never open again? Because in truth I am speaking now the way you do. I speak because I am shattered.
