Enjoyed :) Must have been a difficult poem to translate. "If my verses like a flower become faded
Look for me then in the sorrow of the autumn." Fascinating life.

in #908 I skipped "F" by mistake. Now we have two "G" poems. To avoid confusing the sequence again I go on with "H".

Odd simple little poem: "like a fish leaping / on wet sand".
"—kept losing self control" - Brenda Hillman; Angrily Standing Outside in the Wind... https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/a...e-in-the-wind/
re "Just A Little Hope Is Needed": It´s from an translation site.
"Angrily Standing Outside in the Wind..." Interesting provoking poem- Found this on the poetry of the author:"Brenda Hillman begins her new book in a place of mourning and listening that is deeply transformative. By turns plain and transcendent, these poems meditate on trees, bacteria, wasps, buildings, roots, and stars, ending with twinned elegies and poems of praise that open into spaces that are both magical and archetypal for human imagination: forests and seashores. As always, Hillman's vision is entirely original, her forms inventive and playful. At times the language turns feral as the poet feels her way toward other consciousnesses, into planetary time. This is poetry as a discipline of love and service to the world, whose lines shepherd us through grief and into an ethics of active resistance."

re: "Like the horn..." - Reads like hope upon hope of moving to the big city and the new attitudes of others. Especially liked "Dance until your bones clatter." Short bio and more of Gabrielle's poetry... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...e-calvocoressi
