New prompt in the Melissa poetry workshop with refugee women--We closed our eyes and listened to a noise machine with noises like "birdsong" and "ocean" and "thunderstorm" and "nighttime" and "white noise"--women heard these, but also "fighter airplane," "bombs," "radio static."

I'm aching for my birthplace, Ukraine. Wishing I wasn't turning back to poems I wrote back in 2014. How is this happening? What can I do from here and in this language? What can I do but keep writing and reading and aching...

* CORRECTION. Ugh. It's the BURNING STACKS, not the BURNING LIBRARY. I wrote the darn thing and I can't get it right. Goes to show that versions and alternatives swirl around our word choices, like orbital trash around a planetary body.

"Why are so few contemporary US #poets writing atheist poetry?" So Bill Knott asked, and so we'd like to know: are YOU a writer of vivid, human-hearted #atheist #poetry? The Knott Prize is again open for #submissions, until 10/31: clarion.submittable.com/subm…. We have #faith in you.
