The Daily Poem

Dear NPR, thanks for featuring this story ... Like Alan Heathcock I think reading a poem a day is a lovely thing. There may be something equally, or arguably more, lovely--- writing a poem a day. Where Mr. Heathcock finds riches in reading a poem every morning, I've found all kinds of surprises and rewards from writing (at least) a poem a day for the last 365+ days now, at Dave Bonta's Via Neg Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Luisa A. Igloria (?)

“Inevitably, though, there will always be a significant part of the past which can neither be burnt nor banished to the soothing limbo of forgetfulness— myself. I was and still am that same ship which carried me to the new shore, the same vessel containing all the memories and dreams of the child in the brick house with the toy tea set. I am the shore I left behind as well as the home I return to every evening. The voyage cannot proceed without me.”

“Or it may be that the honey in the cells
has foamed to froth, has risen above
walls that could no longer contain
that sweet— So the hand that tried
to stay the overflow withdrew, gold-
sheathed. May such abundance visit
your heart today: not rue, not pity.”
― Luisa A. Igloria
