Meyers, Plath, Levis, Matejka, Menashe, Simone
This constellation of poems illuminates the myriad ways we receive and perceive any given thing. And the Plath line,"There is too much ease here; these stars treat me too well.", (again) broke my heart for her want.

"I got it all wrong.
I wound up believing in words the way a scientist
Believes in carbon, after death."
EVERY poem in this post. And the Nina Simone clip reminded me of this scene in “Before Sunset” https://youtu.be/ip9PgKmil0s?feature=shared
