Biopoem
Today while applying to Bridgewater International Poetry Festival, I was thinking of how to write the bio and came across How to write a biopoem and some examples.
And then I thought instead of just writing the list of magazines, my work has appeared in, why not write of the subjects too, so the readers know more about the themes that I have been working with.
Only while applying for Madeleine Plonsker prize, did I get a concrete idea of nostalgia and grouped those poems into one set. (clarify - make clear - clarified butter). These days I am getting aware of everyday words and their origins.
Pursuer, Walker
Grandchild of Laxmamma
Who loves learning, observing
Who needs books, words, meaning
Who fears large bodies of water
Who tweets weird metaphors
Who would like to see ‘Paper Palace’

Unruly Places
Sandy island the island that never was
Thalweg
"Hidden Geographies are the inverse of lost spaces.."
An Island that never was is a great hook into a book of uncommon geography. Leningrad and other countries and cities that change their name made me think of such recently affected places.
"New Moore looked like a political problem caused by nature and solved by climate change."
I had read about the aral sea depleting but this essay put it in the timeline context of its past and future.
This book with its look at borders, places uninhabited, distances kept from uncontacted tribes will make you rethink your sense of place, why we travel, where we live and where we chose to.
North sentinel island
Chitmahals
On one page, gent appeared, a word break with ur on the left side of the page, which made think of urgent origin.

Cassell's Readable Readers
The 'White Cat' story in this book is included in John Ashbery's Collected French Translations Prose.
some poems by Wordsworth
Coming of Age - Ring the Bells by Mrs hawtrey
The Eagle's Nest story
Lumpy moon
The Moon is seen as lemon by scientists. We are quick to pronounce a metaphor, but we are blocked after that since in our bubble map of linking two things with the is/or line, we only allow one. An example said a five year old kid -
Ms. teacher is kind (explaining the bubble maps that she learnt that day)
but she could be other things at the same time.
Wallace Stevens had Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
