TR- Interesting poem. I often feel the same but wouldn´t be able to write an good poem about it.

RMR: "In May 1922, Rilke's patron Werner Reinhart bought and renovated Muzot so that Rilke could live there rent-free." Read his poem while listening to "Becoming One" by Greg Maroney... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tFYtUCjhm0 ... "As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed."

BA: I can't imagine appearing in sold-out stadiums as a poet. I love the simple quatrain she utilized so well.

BA-In Russia I can!
AL-Interesting modern poem about decay. Became interested in her literary criticism

Louise Driscoll

LD: Yes, a wonderful poem. I see elements of Emily Dickinson's influence in the poem. I was frustrated finding much more information on her; in fact came upon another with similar experience: https://www.enotes.com/homework-help...ion-who-131627 .

Diane Ackerman... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...diane-ackerman

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...ontentId=37017

LD-I didn´t find her biography either only a short note like this one. Probably the poet herself is low profile.
DA- I thought she was younger, the poem seems to describe our contemporaneous uncertainities. She has been to Brazil and has also written a play about Sor Juana I. de la Cruz, the Mexican nun poet.

I hadn't heard of a contemporary to Sappho, let alone one so intimate. The translated poem "The Palace" full of the trappings of war.

RA: I'll have to look for his Psalms translation somewhere else... the trial asked for a credit card. I read from the Psalms KJV quite often. Our choir sang a devotional that contained the 24th Psalm a while back that I have used as a pacing song when walking (referenced in a poem I wrote 5/18/2015: "A Golden Sierra Walk In May" https://sites.google.com/site/apoetingardenvalley/ ). My favorite story of meetings at a well in the Bible is when Jesus meets with the Samaritan woman at the well.

RA-Sorry! Searched again for the Psalm Book, but another site also asked for a credit card. They are all traps
AR- Daring poet and daring poem!

Rosa Luxemburg

TT: Very complex... Always progressive... One of the founders of Dada. Fun poem. More study needed: Symbolism/surrealism/ilk.
