BBB: Fixed poetry link... https://fromtroublesofthisworld.word...ey-bie-brahic/ Beautiful use of language in BBB's poem "Lacemakers" - "Through high windows wintry sun seeps in/And floods the six-tiered polychrome Apocalypse,/This Sunday’s text in comic strip.", and in BBB's translated excerpt of Yves Bonnefoy's poem "The Anchor’s Long Chain" - "Someone saw it snag a church door,/Catch the arch where our hope fades,/And a sailor shinned down/The taut, jerking chain,/And freed his heaven from our night."

BBB-Tks. for fixing the link.
BS-Interesting personality with his anguished quest for identity:"I am in my
Survival’s hands. I am my shadow’s theme."

SL: Ah, SL's poem Hallaig reminds me of another poet hallaig http://www.online-literature.com/for...?78049-hallaig who used to grace LitNet for a short time with great influence. Highlands, ultra-left politics, and love poetry... interesting combination. "The Cry of Europe" is intriguing: Is the "Girl of the yellow, heavy-yellow, gold-yellow hair" representative of the Aryan Nazi ideal in that time of chaos ?

SL-Yes. Hitler wanted to create the blond supremacy by eliminating those that didn´t belong to it. Before becoming the Nazi ideal, it was the prototype of the German woman as Gretchen in the Faust by Goethe. Looked up Hallaig´s poems, not bad. And maybe he spoke Gaelic.
Meera Bai- short lyrical and to the point:"Who but you/can see in the dark/of a heart? "

BB: A quiet part-time poet who wrote hymns... I like him. "The Sea"- "BEAUTIFUL, sublime, and glorious;/Mild, majestic, foaming, free, -/Over time itself victorious,/Image of eternity!"

GE: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Gavin_Ewart ... reminiscent of Biggus in some poems. Cute poem, I have similar hopes for my aged Taffy Doodles.

E:Phantastic! Much earlier than Homer, a woman poet, writing about gods and wars.

BA: concrete poems/interesting - I wrote a poem using this form, though not readily discernible, some time ago (has it really been almost 4-years since then ?)... http://www.online-literature.com/for...inued-)/page93 .
ALB: An enlightened feminist of modest privilege in a time of social change who outlived and endured a husband who became insane; critiqued by those with lesser sensibilities, sadly Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth among them, resulting in a self-denial of creativity... too sad. Tender poetry.

BPN... will listen later for the bulk of his sound poetry (buffering problems due to capped bandwidth); "Dada Lama" interesting... appropriate for Mother's Day. NM... Poet, activist, teacher, translator. Interesting nature poem with a powerful ending.

BPN-Listened to the poems. Very minimalistic, more like sound experiments.
Mei-mei-Interesting multicultural background. Very original poem, delicate images, at times a bit rational
