"Periphery" from Gold Friend (Turas Press, 2020)

A capture of the poem "Periphery" which has too many characters to fit into a bluesky post ... it is about wing-settling birds in peripheral hedges.

Li-Young Lee, “One Heart” Look at the birds. Even flying is born out of nothing. The first sky is inside you, open at either end of day. The work of wings was always freedom, fastening one heart to every falling thing.

This modernist artwork is titled "By the Door" (also commonly referenced as "Woman in Window" or "Untitled"). It is a 1.1.2 lithograph from 1955 by the prominent Finnish modernist artist Gösta Diehl (1899–1964).

The piece showcases Diehl's signature Cubist and colourist style, incorporating fragmented geometric perspectives and strong angles. It deconstructs a traditional scene by simultaneously layered perspectives of a woman, window panes, and doorway outlines.

One of the many memorable passages in Robert Lowell's "The Art of Poetry" interview with Frederick Seidel in the spring 1961 issue of The Paris Review.

I seesaw back and forth between
something highly metrical and something free; there isn't any one way to write. But it seems to me we've gotten into a sort of Alexandrian age. Poets of my generation and particularly younger ones have gotten terribly proficient at these forms. They write a very musical, difficult poem with tremendous skill, perhaps there's never been such skill. Yet the writing seems divorced from the culture. It's become too much something specialized that can't handle much experience. It's become a craft, purely a craft, and there must be some breakthrough back into life.
