"كان قلبي الذي نسجته الجروح
كان قلبي الذي لعنته الشروح
يرقد الآن فوق بقايا المدينة
وردة من عطن
هادئا...

وأحب الوطن!" — Apr 26, 2022 12:59AM

our enemy, our own lost how repair,
how overcome this dire calamity,
what reinforcement we might gain from hope,
if not, what resolution from despair"

“ثم نظرت فإذا بحورية تقترب منا كالخيال فصرخت مستغرباً : من هذه؟
قال: هي مليومين ابنة جوبير وربة الروايات المحزنة.
قلت : وماذا تبتغي الأحزان مني ، وأنت بجانبي أيها الفرح؟
قال: جاءت لتريك الأرض وأحزانها ، من لايرى الأحزان لايرى الفرح”

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
