The Heretical Gift Of Poetry With Alina Stefanescu Listen here: podcast.ruthstonehouse.org/podcast/alinas… #pdnews

✨ Happy National Poetry Month!✨ Tin House is celebrating with a new video every Friday of April. Today it's @biancastone , reading the poem "Psyche" from her forthcoming poetry collection 💙The Near and Distant World (2026).

🚨I'm beyond honored to share this episode of @OdeAndPsyche!! Talking w brilliant German translator, Elizabeth Oehlkers Wright, about her late partner, Franz Wright's poetry & @foundlingspress' new chapbook of Fragments. Including audio of Franz 😱😭 podcast.ruthstonehouse.org/podcast/franzw…

an incredible book, get ready

@biancastone Every time I am looking to finish this I can't find it, and now I know why 😅😂

😭😩♥️ no one's ever taken down poets so beautifully as he 💔

In hell? Enjoy this lyrical essay & video I made on poetic reverie & place for @PoetryFound "I shall gaze, between woods & my own house, even if as ruinously as Orpheus, back at the fading beloved in the underworld, poised at the very mouth between worlds" poetryfoundation.org/articles/16469…

Emily Wilson spent years explaining how a lot of the older translations weren’t translating the actual poem but riffing off each other only for people to come around because of Nolan and think the other translations are more accurate because they sound “older”

@biancastone "objectively poor" suggests a narrow view of poetry right off..this does not seem to be an argument made in good faith but rather for quick internet points because the upcoming Nolan movie has people riled up about this

Utterly disagree that it's poor, but also each translation offers something unique to the rendering of text which was itself a translation once, and each translation speaks to the time in which it was translated and the person translating it.. which EW has talked abt beautifully

@biancastone tbt @SampsonStarkwea

to end my semester visiting teaching this incredible group of poets at UMass Amherst there was arm wrestling ♥️ . So until next time -- 🙌

👀👀👀😍

A fascinating conversation on being a jumble of selves, profound listening, cultivating an active and attentive presence, the constant failure of language, the earth as a living system... @OdeAndPsyche will crack you open.

I appreciate houses from the top down, and if a chimney isn’t downright astonishing, I won’t even bother looking any lower to see the rest of the house, for the chimney tells all.
