"There are stories of our lives that defy neat structure and happy articulation, where feelings, having leapt free from the coherent chains of narrative, become the story. These stories were made for lyric cycles."

JUSTER’S PETRARCH - Jason Reid (@Jason__Reid) "His love sonnets changed the course of literary history. His theme and form were brought over to England by poets like Surrey and Wyatt. Sidney and Spenser further developed the form. Then Shakespeare came." apocalypse-confidential.com/2026/05/04/jus…

Really grateful to @APCON_MAG for running this essay on Petrarch, which doesn’t come close to doing justice to @amjuster’s magnificent translation. I’ll be blunt: This is an all-time great translated by a first-rate poet. Profound words well-said. Buy the book!

"Is it sane to write a love poem? In this illiterate age of criminalized desire, the man of passion is suspect; at best, his critics suggest that his eloquence is merely the vessel for some ulterior motive; at worst, the critics will be considerate enough to invoke the aid of mental health authorities..." Sorting through the schemes with @Jason__Reid

Both poems are great. "Slice" is especially vivid to me because it opens as though it is all about effacement before a landscape in the manner of a Chinese cave hermit centuries ago—"Coffee plantations surrounded by mountains..."—yet the mood doesn't remain purely contemplative.

“Even in this out of time town she felt pursued by some slow stirring thing. The very earth. Smell of wet jungle. Sweat. Urine. Heavy burnt sugar scent of flowers mixed with smoke from the Volcano. Smell of dry blood. Boars shot. Grunting of a boar escaping, caught, pulled by a rope, tethered in a trap, still shrieking…” Lush life with @dickietheshah
