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

Rainer Maria Rilke

http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...ke/poems/16349

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."

AL-Interesting modern poem about decay. Became interested in her literary criticism

Louise Driscoll

https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hold...your-dreams-2/ (loved this)

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.

Alcaeus of Mytilene

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.

Adrienne Rich... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrienne_Rich

AR- Daring poet and daring poem!

CB-Great find, Tailor, after that I´ll never forget any more what Dadaism is like.Researched a bit the German poet Hugo Ball and found a different interpretation of the first poem, Totenklage

Benjamin Péret

https://peonymoon.wordpress.com/2011...-the-big-game/

HB: Most definitely a different interpretation by Hanna Aurbacher, Teophil Maier, and Ewald Liska; more an orison than a chant. As for defining Dadaism I keep finding more and more nuances that defy understanding, which is prolly the point. Your links for Tristan Tzara recently are also very informative. BP: Still more Dadaism. I've saved links on Surrealism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism and Symbolism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism_(arts) that I haven't yet dissected. There seems to be quite a political theme by creators of the progressive arts - perhaps spurred by the intelligentsia. I like the poem "Portrait of Max Ernst", and am intrigued by "My Late Misfortunes"... with the dedication to Yves Tanguy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Tanguy which I can not fathom.

Patti Smith... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patti_Smith

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNunaSLNNPk

BP- I believe the progressive movements, Dadaism, Surrealism, Symbolism and also de German Expressionism were seeking to interpret a world that was turning upside down.
https://www.google.com.br/search?q=M..._NE0sPSo_uiCM:
As for the dedications to Max Ernst and Yves Tanguy, it is difficult to know if there was a more personal reason for it. The French surrealist were a selected group. They influenced each other and therefore they also dedicated their works to each other
PS-Wonderful poem and video! I must listen to it again

A o T-Another interesting discovery "one of the nine outstanding ancient women poets listed by Antipater of Thessalonica in the Palatine Anthology." I didn´t know there were so many ancient Greek women poets.
Most of her poems seem to be about dead people or animals.

Toi Derricotte
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toi_Derricotte

https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from...er-about-snow/

TD: I found this amusing: "... endured the canon's litany of dead and near-dead white male poets". The poetic device used in her poem is quite interesting: mirroring/comparing herself to the Pyrenees.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Budbill

http://www.poetry.us.com/davidbudbill.html

TD- She compares herself with the dog, I think. Yes, you are right, sounds somewhat biased, these poets are very much alive,
DB-Visual itinerant poem. Reminds me of the French flaneurs writing about Paris

Bacchylides

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacchylides


http://www.blackcatpoems.com/b/bacchylides.html

B: Interesting his rivalry with Pindar; also the interweaving of politics and political favor play. The poem is a rather nice example of classical minimalism.

HS-Yes, some Germans of past centuries have an astonishing production. Glad you liked the poem. He probably was one of the first protestant hymn writers.
SM- Ahead of her time, difficult and short life! Even her poem shows the feeling of imprisonment by conventions. A whole family of poets:Clemens Brentano, Sophie and Clemens´sister Bettina.

Matthew Arnold

https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/immortality/#content

MA: Both genius and derivative depending on the critic. "Immortality", a Petrarchan sonnet/nice turn at L9: an interesting read. L14's "and that hardly" seems a bit stilted to me.

Antonin Artaud

https://allpoetry.com/Antonin-Artaud

AA: His theatre a bit too over the top for my taste; such suffering transferred to his art. I liked "Jardin Noir" very much; "The Nerve Meter" a bit more in tune with his ethos.

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annett...roste-Hülshoff

https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-night-10/ ... https://www.poemhunter.com/annette-v...ulshoff/poems/

AA-Yes he is a very sombre, tortured character. I hesitated if I should include him. But he is one of the great references of surrealism

AvDH-I visited the castle near Münster where she was born.She is one of the very few German women writer you find in the antologies before the 20C. I intend to read her famous novel still

HC: I enjoyed the song and lyrics http://211.116.138.23/tulip/dl_image...0028293_01.PDF over the poem. He seems very irreverent in the style of Mozart as depicted in the movie "Amadeus" where Mozart wrote for the common people.
