Parenting
why I'll never read another parenting book
A
Cool Gear bottle on a metal cabinet on the wall reminds me of the fate
of my bottle in my daughter's hands
the current one facing smash like Greek plates
one forgotten in a store
which could happen to adults too
Should tech find flying bottles
or just parenting

Now I remember quotes
Author Glieser of The island of Knowledge, sees
shores of knowledge as ignorance but another sees there,
the shoreland of wonder

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.

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

On one page, gent appeared, a word break with ur on the left side of the page, which made think of urgent origin.
