Ode & Psyche Podcast

@OdeAndPsyche with Mathias Svalina & David Saint John on the new collected LARRY LEVIS -- coming...tomorrow? We'll see how I manage the night @dreamdeliveryer

two poems that speak the precise, cloudy words -- for the most painful times -- In such times, the words we need can be uttered, but not fully analyzed, only embodied & yet, perhaps, too, the attempt at the analysis never ends. @OdeAndPsyche podcast.ruthstonehouse.org/podcast/two-po…

not at all long enough, this conversation, considering publishing & film criticism with @hamrahrama & his beautiful new books -- reading a good review is a particular kind of pleasure, to consider the act of writing it, another. Film is alive & is vivid, we shall return the call

Thrilled by this serious, fascinating review of BERNIE FOR BURLINGTON by the great Jill Lepore. “Revelatory!” When Bernie Sanders Headed for the Hills newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Here is a teaser for my fragmentary experiments in film, sound, interview, act, lyric & narrative to "tease" that which will continue to arrive? discontinuous, yet consistent, arching towards some distant final thing? vimeo.com/1156276354?fl=…

back to the city that made me more fully strange in this world I return from a distance to kgb bar -- (wild nights, wild nights!) to have these poets at my side whose work touches my heart -- ❤️‍🔥 to see thee @Tin_House @dawnlundy @DorotheaLasky @dreamdeliveryer

a good backward mirror to have the last poem in my book for the first poem of the year on the Slow Down 🙏🖤 * it is so good to live in the lucky fallout of words said in a certain order in front of you slowdownshow.org/episode/2026/0…

I have a poem in the @NewYorker to end our year. Heidegger saw memory as a gathering together of what calls out to be thought. This is the poem: containing inchoate fragments of existence, calling out to the reader to think-with & make whole. Hear me read: newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

seeing Mathias Svalina talk about Celan 🙏 😊

Often when I imagine you your wholeness cascades into many shapes. You run like a herd of luminous deer and I am dark. I am a forest. Rilke, "You Come & Go"

Lösch mir die Augen aus und ohne Füße kann ich zu dir gehn,  und ohne Mund noch kann ich dich beschwören. 🙏

It was such a tremendous honor ruminating on Rilke with @biancastone. It is always a privilege to speak with artists about the imaginative working out of metaphysical and ethical problems. Poets, in addition to enriching our affective lives, are some of the best philosophers.

New @OdeAndPsyche logo & episode: the penultimate Elegy, a rich paradox of end: Rilke's 9th, w Moral Minority's @SatireRedacted! I can't believe I'm almost to the end of these. Its been a real journey; but without end🖤 FREE PDF of the poem in shownotes podcast.ruthstonehouse.org/podcast/the-ni…

Just finished recording with @biancastone for @OdeAndPsyche podcast. We spoke at length about the penultimate of Rilke’s Elegies, The Ninth Elegy, and went deep on ontology, Rilke as an artist on the cusp of modernity, and the craftsmanship of humanity.

"And we: spectators, always, everywhere, / turned toward the world of objects"! I've been on hiatus. But catch up on @OdeAndPsyche 's Rilke Duino Elegies & prep for 9th coming soon! FREE PDF download the poem is available on the shownotes page. podcast.ruthstonehouse.org/podcast/eighth…

Rilke's 8th Elegy, (Mitchell) @OdeAndPsyche coming soon
