How to Make your Home Ideal for Reading

, , Comment Closed

In our turbulent lives, an obligation free evening or even five minutes is an extravagance. However, in the event that we commit spaces in our homes to serene exercises, like perusing a novel, working through a heap of magazines or in any event, putting on a mud veil and reflecting, they can fill in as suggestions to back off and figure out an ideal opportunity for self-care in the midst of feverish timetables.

A perusing alcove can accomplish this. Albeit a delicate seat, rich toss cushion, and footstool is an encouragement to air out a most loved read, a perusing …

5 Iconic Poems in the English Language

, , Comment Closed

Today is the commemoration of the distribution of Robert Frost’s notorious sonnet “Halting by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” a reality that prodded the Literary Hub office into a meaningful discussion about their preferred sonnets, the most famous sonnets written in English, and which sonnets we should all have just perused (or if nothing else be perusing straightaway). Turns out, notwithstanding continuous (bogus) claims that verse is dead as well as immaterial or potentially exhausting, there are a lot of sonnets that have sunk profound into our aggregate awareness as social symbols. (What makes a sonnet notorious? For our motivations …

Poetic Medley

un souffle du printemps

tu viens le matin du manteau nocturne
avec la senteur piquante d’arbre à feuilles persistantes et me fais signe
en dehors de ma rosace

tu me mènes au bord de la route
où je respires la douceur qui traverse
jusqu’au présent
je capture tes soupirs
maintenant tu m’appartiens

tu completes le sifflet dans le vent
tu accomplisses la chanson de mon rossignol
par les étendues inhabitées
dans la pause repos après-midi

je ne marcherai jamais seule

quand le soir est fini
l’odeur de ta gypsophile
s’attarde à ma table
murmure à la lueur diminuente

Gabriela del Alma Born in Spanish

Porque la noche es infinita y resonante
Porque mis manos frías amasan el migajón que
en dedos ardientes se agrieta
Porque la tierra se inclina contra mís pasos
Porque a veces la marea no me inspira
Porque al cerrar mis ojos lo veo todo
Porque despierto cada tarde con una melodía tibia en mi boca
Porque sigo inocente en la trayectoria del meteorito
Porque el sol es tóxico y la lluvia sabe al pasado—
Te busco entre estrellas infantes—
Mas alla de millares de disfraces,
Y te encuentro, como siempre,
En el semillero de mis sueños.
Because the night is

Life’s Little Lessons

Ancestors

I see shadows
whisper to me from the corners of walls,
women’s voices sharing secrets
of ages past.

My ages past
as I am a shadow to them
my ancestors.
I am echo of a pungent past.

The Baby*

A home spun baby I be,
dropped from old yellow
man moon
on a warm winter’s day,
I came in the worldly way.

My breath carries spring time,
my laugh
summer’s ripened fruit,
my hair the falling of the leaves.
I am winter’s child too.

An ordinary baby,
I be,
miracle of worlds.

An Excerpt from: Catching Tigers in Red Weather

, , Comment Closed

Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.

Wallace Stevens,
from Disillusionment of Ten O’Clock

O Sweeney, come forth and articulate,
convey the nightingale’s face!  The chill of

a word vocalized, true anodyne.
One syllable moves beneath the teeth.

What brings “what?”- both anointed and coined.
The tongue is a type of illusionist.

We are each understood by the other,
in good silence, or in between.  The noun

is centralized, a bright platinum.
Sentences fly, written by their seasons,

or they wait on the freeway medians
with all of our …
