"Don't bury your heart."
Today we welcomed @tonyreali back to the show! In FaceTime he shared his feelings about his recent loss, his recent addition, and how he's getting through it all.
Two years ago this month I checked out of a psych ward. I wish I’d told more people. Months later, while hearing of my embarrassment, beloved @processdaily said, “A psych ward is a place, K.” That idea was so expansive that it created this meditation in @CortlandReview

He wants to say I love you, nothing can hurt you but he thinks this is a lie, so he says in the end you're dead, nothing can hurt you which seems to him a more promising beginning, more true. - Rest in peace, Louise Glück. poets.org/poem/myth-devo…
When I heard Louise Gluck say in an interview that she hadn't written a poem in two years--that was a life-giving keystone moment for me as a young writer.
The Wild Iris is the book I turn to when I don’t know how to go on. But more than that, I have always found comfort in Louise Glück’s constant public acknowledgment of her frequent years of silence & not writing. Farewell to a legend.

Poet @SaraBorjas3 is haunted in the same way I am—a disembodied sense of unbelonging in the afterlives of colonization, of having practices and memories we can never claim, grief that we will never be claimed. "Decolonialish Self-Portrait" is about that stranding, apt for today.
I remember myself; a corner of sunlight on the bed sheet rotating a violence, words that die before meaning: relentless shredded threads. —Sara Borjas #PoemADay poets.org/poem/decolonia…
