Erklär mir, Liebe!

I dreamed the line: "DJ, leave me hidden!"👁️"Who Rules"? Celan asked in his poem. The song is given & we're revealed in the listening. Yet we're also given a place to be concealed. I don't know. Here's an episode on making a book of poetry @OdeAndPsyche podcast.ruthstonehouse.org/podcast/the-wo…

Another poem from the book out next week... 🖤👁️ The Topography of the Unseen "See the resident Übermensch unpinning tear from little spikes in the brain and leading them on gold chains to the eyelid...."

for those of us who have ascended back from the inferno into the tiny blizzards of reality to give poetry readings about it: 🖤

"Transform stamen on stamen, fill your interior rose"

*Life* and *death*: they are one, at core entwined. Who understands himself from his own strain presses himself into a drop of wine and throws himself into the purest flame. Rilke, Christmas, 1922

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/…

here is her the little plot, unmarked in the traditional sense, at the @RuthStoneHouse in Goshen, VT.

@mpants60 @biancastone Well, in a way it is. The body fit; it took its place there in the continuum...

@biancastone @RuthStoneHouse if i didn't know better, I would have thought this plot was centuries old

Ruth Stone died on this day, November 19th, 2012. In her first book, In an Iridescent Time, she wrote this poem in the posthumous voice that will not leave you once you read it:
