JK-Interesting perspective of absence in both poems.

KA: Intriguing poem. I found an explanation in "Dividing Lines: Poetry, Class, and Ideology in the 1930s" by Adrian Caesar (googlebooks - so I won't post the link). The surrealism depicted explores (roughly) class/politics/war/hope (the lack thereof)/a timelessness.

KA-Reread the poem. I find it feels contemporaneous:
"What shall we do with our hardened arteries/Under the zeppelin shade of catastrophe/but emulate the gloss and selfishness of china/Till the clocks fly away?"
Alfonsina and the sea:

AS: Wonderful tribute song. My poem a foggy day at the seashore 11/12/2016 http://www.online-literature.com/for...=1#post1329749 is a thinly veiled surrender to the sea (note rather than wading to one's "knees" I used "waist" to break up the rhyme and cause pause). SoC: A shame so little is left of his work.

TS-Revisited the poem. There seems to be more than one way to understand it. Isn´t there a "d" missing in "one gets used"?
CG-Nice poem. And I have the feeling he wrote the wiki side himself.

tS: You are absolutely correct... revised my web page/cannot correct post though. GBS: Incredible writer. Found this that might interest you that goes with his quote: “Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends.” ... http://mypoeticside.com/poets/george-bernard-shaw-poems

GBS-I Like the poem but find it very difficult to eat only vegetables. I´m trying to diminish meat.
SC- Remarkable life. Poem shows good knowledge of the history of Britain.

CB: Heard it on the news... another legend gone. I was just perusing (again) the Rolling Stone list of 100 best guitarists recently https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...7z0Dukcu_3B_MQ , Chuck was a strong #7.

CB-Tks for the link. Sending it to rock fans. Quite a piece of late 20C there.
BC-Interesting environment, but couldn´t quite follow the poem, because it was spoken.
Carlos Gardel

(Sorry, didn´t find anything in English but at least one can appreciate his very characteristic music)
CG: Enjoyed.

GA-"He also gave reason that she was not feminine enough stating that she was more verbal than should be and was often too aggressive for a woman of the 19th century." :(

AP: Amazing musicality. Interesting the classical/jazz influences fused with his innovative tango arrangements.

PW-This is utterly amazing: a slave poet of the 18C writing first rate poetry and being furthered by her owners! A pity her story ended so sadly.Good choice of poem.

WdvV: A knightly poet heralded by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow no less! His celebratory poem of receiving his fief reveals his manner.
