I wrote a behemoth on Frost for @PoetryFound: "He understands as much the mud-soft spaces in the human heart, wet at the firm touch of a workman’s boot, as he does the impenetrable darkness that sits between the stars and mocks people like a mongrel maw." poetryfoundation.org/articles/16166…
What does horror need? According to @ThePhthailer, it’s humor: “Laughing villains act as tricksters and jesters who mock us by holding a mirror up to society.” lithub.com/why-horror-nee…
I wrote about horror and humor for @lithub, continuing my Halloween horror essays for the 9th year in a row. "When we laugh, the body admits what the brain cannot." lithub.com/why-horror-nee…

"For a poem about the brevity of every state of being, the single octave perfectly enacts its themes through its form." —Tyler Malone in our new poem guide, "Felix Culpa-bility: Robert Frost’s 'Nothing Gold Can Stay'" bit.ly/4cZxSpt
Ezra Pound's "Canto I": still one of the few flawless openings in English poetry. A perfect marriage of sound and sense and sensibility. Dramatic and narratively gripping, too.
Since we've now entered upon the cruelest month, I have to plug this @PoetryFound poem guide to "The Waste Land" by the estimable @ThePhthailer "What is this chaos of impressions we are privy to? Wherefore such madness?" poetryfoundation.org/articles/15884…
"Poets—certainly the Modernists, but, also, *all* poets—are the monarchs of desert lands, with fragments shored against their ruins. Poets build their poetry not only from all they have done but also from all they have read." —Tyler Malone (@ThePhthailer)

One thing excellent criticism does is to invite you take another look at something you'd previously disregarded or misunderstood. Definitely going to have another look at Frost after reading this epic essay by @ThePhthailer poetryfoundation.org/articles/16166…

Robert Frost was both authentic Yankee sage and contrived farmer-poser, Romantic and Modernist, believer and skeptic, innovator and nostalgist, liberal and conservative, stoic and humorist, demystifier and remystifier of an unruly universe. —@ThePhthailer bit.ly/3TkJb57
I wrote about Dante Gabriel Rossetti for the January issue @firstthingsmag: "What nature was for Wordsworth, the beloved's face was for Rossetti: magic mirror, longed-for landscape, book of revelation. The ultimate object of contemplation, inexhaustible." firstthings.com/article/2023/1…
"Those who read Frost's poetry deeply enough to see through the caricature ... begin to see him as both authentic Yankee sage and contrived farmer-poser ... as demystifier and remystifier of an unruly universe, whose design—if there is one—seems dark, muddled, and mysterious."

This is @ThePhthailer's magnum opus: nearly 12K words on Robert Frost. "Those who read Frost’s poetry deeply enough to see through the caricature of the simple farmer-poet espousing country wisdom see his dualities and contradictions emerge." poetryfoundation.org/articles/16166…
