Forgotten Poets #94 | Reissue #11
These are so lovely and so very sad. Especially:
"Death stares at me,
Very near;
For summer and I have grown old:
Summer will wake
At the spring;
But I will lie cold."
I really like your tribute poem too, Dick.
That's such a moving stanza! Aw thanks Margaret - it was an early one for me, and required a little editing, but not much thankfully :-)
"With little skeins
Of violet dusk and cloud,
The grey nun twilight
Embroiders patiently
The crimson sky;"
Oh. That image is the one I need to just sit with for a while.
Such a beauty! 🖤
Yeah, reading the poems followed by her mini biography was a moving one-two punch, and your poetic outro was a poignant punctuation.
Awww thanks Hasse - yeah, she lived a short and poignant life! At least we have these few poems by her to remember 🖤
These voices! I have to take them in very small doses. The potent heart-broken-wide-open Wonder of them! 💛💛💛
Ooooof - I love the way you put that so much - "heart-broken-open-wide-wonder" - wow, what a description! 🖤
Stedman Bostick's brief, deep work, laden with loss and sadness makes an immediate, visceral impact on the reader.
Beautifully said Kim! 🖤
