SH: Great find. Escaped the horrors of American incarceration (deux). wiki: "An important early participant in modernism, Hartmann was a friend of such diverse figures as Walt Whitman, Stéphane Mallarmé and Ezra Pound." Delicate voice in his poetry... love it.

HX-Loved His poems. I still remember the conflicts on the Tiananmen Square and the hardness of the regimen.

(Having to log out and then in again when I am longer on LItNet. Else I can´t post)
re: log in... odd. XS: Quite eclectic in his endeavors; wonderful sense of composition - to my untrained eye quite surreal. Some auction prices: http://www.invaluable.com/artist/sol...uction-prices/ and http://artist.christies.com/Alejandr...ar--45143.aspx

Re re login:Only way seems to be keeping sawing longer texts while writing them or writing them on word and then pasting.
XS-Not trained either but love his colourful paintings and iconographic mixtures.Was Introduced to him by Prof. Jorge Schwartz (Schwartz, Jorge. "Let the Stars Compose Syllables: Xul and Neo-Creole." Xul Solar: Visiones Y Revelaciones. Buenos Aires: Malba – Coleccion Costantini, 2005. 200–208).
SR-Besides being an acomplished poet a resourceful woman."After William's hardware business failed and his father died in 1791, he and Susanna took in his orphaned sister Charlotte Rowson and they all turned to acting". My idea of a resilient family.

Do you keep the " Remember Me? " box always checked ? (under the sign in). RC: A beloved poet who would reach out and be supportive to others. "an innovative poet"... "form is never more than an extension of content," for his poems were often written in couplet, triplet, and quatrain stanzas that break into and out of rhyme as happenstance appears to dictate." His poem a jumble of quatrains and single word "breaks" and form changes and alliterative playfulness and here and there a rhyme.

Yes, Tailor. I suspect that there is a time limit for open posts to desencourage or limit the posting of spammers and I am a slow writer.
CL-Very interesting. Lived at a very productive time of English literature. Troubled life. Going to see if I can find The Female Quixote."They regarded her specifically as unladylike and incendiary.",lol!

Can't be any slower than me... I use two fingers to type ��. LA: Associated with Robert Frost (a British poet: "one of the "Dymock poets""). "Professor of English at the University of Leeds in preference to J. R. R. Tolkien". A WWI vet; the poem quite innocent as such: " 'Kindly do not touch; it's war.' "

Me too. So I have to save larger posts before posting or write them elsewhere. Saving the post by bits also works.
AA-An early woman poet and a brave woman caught up in a fight that wasn´t even hers. A inhuman fate. If she were catholic, she probably would have been canonized
Amy Lowell

http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...ll/poems/19949
AA: Pulitzer Prize in 1926. "as time went on, she censored her work less and less." Pricked Pound re: Imagism to her delight. Much maligned through prejudice. " inside everything was molten like the core of the earth... Given one more gram of emotion, Amy Lowell would have burst into flame and been consumed to cinders." - Heywood Broun.
Petals:
"Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
.
.
We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays."

AB: Moved to NY during the Harlem Renaissance, staying until the Depression... friend of Langston Hughes. An interpretation of Reconnaissance... http://cullenshr.blogspot.com/2012/0...mps-after.html ... I was leaning towards viewing nuclear tests in the Pacific; a parallelism perhaps.

BM-Resourceful woman, mother and farmer. Likes to play with words.

(Specially enjoyed Fable of the Ant and the Word and Shoreline)
BM: Nice selection - 2 of 3 poems include a bald man in a pink shirt. MB: Looked for her Sappho on National Public Radio’s “Talk of the Nation”... the link provided is of no use. "Never one to be idle, Mary Barnard turned her love of research to her family genealogy tracing her origins to Nantucket. (In this process, she found she was actually a distant cousin of Ezra Pound!) Nantucket Genesis:The Tale of My Tribe was the creative result of this pursuit. Written in her own verse, interspersed with short historical documents, it is not only family history, but includes her own observations on the role of women during the movement west and the inheritance of property."... quite commendable. Shoreline suits my sensibilities well. The Rock of Levkas... wondering if my eyes are "salt blue". The Pleiades... delightful. Soft Chains... a minimalist's touch. Fable of the Ant and the Word... quite fanciful. Lethe: oblivion. Now... not yet. Wonderful poet.

KA: Sad poem. "The writer Andre Dubus III declared that “Kim Addonizio writes like Lucinda Williams sings, with hard-earned grit and grace about the heart’s longing for love and redemption, the kind that can only come in the darkest dark when survival no longer even seems likely. "" KA said: "There are only two useful rules I can think of for aspiring writers: learn your craft, and persist. The rest, as Henry James said, is the madness of art.”... great advice.
