I come back to this post every so often. We can't win with poetry alone, but without poetry what world are we hoping for? https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2023/08/we-are-ones-weve-been-waiting-for-poems.html

If you've never read Mary Oliver's poem "Of the Empire" you should. It's a heartbreaker.

This is a topic we recently started, mainly focusing on two questions:

1. Why do you write?

2. In the age of artificial intelligence, how will your writing change?

Feel free to share. We look forward to hearing your unique voice

A pulsing vein of glass,
brittle offering bowls
and eyes like windowpanes -

how fragile are the worlds,
molten on the pontil
and frozen in the air.

Eleven months in
my soul is tired
crying for peace like a puppy
for whom mother’s milk has run dry.

This curtain of God
that we call Nature
sometimes hides me in her colors
and feeds lucent living nectar.
