I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives (Auden, "September 1, 1939")

La mort des archives de Poezibao. Une lettre ouverte de Florence Trocmé fabula.org/actualites/129174…
Here is a review of Oksana Maksymchuk's "Still City, Diary of an Invasion" which offers a poetic chronicle of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. I highly recommend reading this powerful example of contemporary war poetry: closeencountersinwar.org/202…
Amendment! In my haste to announce the good news, I forgot to thank my co-organizer @YasnaBozhkova without whose brilliant idea our Atelier with Suzannah V. Evans wouldn't have been possible! Thank you!
This Fall, Atelier POEM will have the pleasure of receiving 2 outstanding guests at the Sorbonne-Nouvelle: poet @SuzannahVEvans will be presenting "Under the Blue" in November, and "rhyming translator-poet"Timothy Adès will be speaking of translation and surrealism in October!

The Franco-British Young Leaders for 2025 have been announced 🇫🇷🇬🇧 / La cohorte 2025 des Young Leaders franco-britanniques a été annoncée 🇫🇷🇬🇧 : francobritish.org/en/2025-yo…
Very happy and honoured to be part of the 2025 cohort. I will strive to advance Franco-British relations...mainly through poetry and poets on both side of the Channel!

Today I (re)read Oksana Maksymchuk's "Still City". Every poem is a wound. The reading is violent and yet also luminous, like Apollinaire's hope in "Le Pont Mirabeau". It is very disturbing, in the best ways.

I love this poem even more now I've grown old and achy when I get such days as Czeslaw describes here, though it's usually the Eccup Reservoir rather than blue sea and sails.

Isaac Rosenberg: English war poet, disappeared at the front at Fampoux April 1-2 1918 – “August 1916” describes the devastation of war. Here, the beginning in French:
Combien de notre vie
Brûle en ce brasier?
Le cher grenier du cœur?
Tout ce qui nous manquera?
