New subscriber here, and so happy to have (just) found you! Thank you! The (paragraph of the) Kafka letter has haunted me all day--all day!--so I wrote (a quite bad attempt at) a syllabic poem using the final phrase, "why even night is not night enough" as an epigraph out-of-context for my own lines. This is the first time that I've written anything from the recess of my own mind in too many months (almost a year). Nothing brilliant--to be sure--but some writing, clearing, imagining, at last. Temporarily freeing from and fighting and joining the world. Thank you for this possibility, truly, and for the brilliance--brilliance!--of The Sharpener.
Hi Billy. Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad the Kafka letter sparked your imagination. I believe *everyone* can do poetry better; that's the dream and the goal
Thank you, Sean! The dream and the goal, indeed! (Hope to see and learn from you and the (sadly, underrated and overlooked) great poets in your Zoom workshop through HVWC in April! ;)
