Starward commented on: Finally Spring by allets 4 years 30 weeks* ago* Being a writer of science: Being a writer of science fiction, are you familiar with James Tiptree, Jr.? For reasons I cannot explain, your poem reminded me of Tiptree's story, "The Last Flight Of Dr. Ain." Your poem, which is beautifully colorful, set me to thinking and my warped brain went to Dr. Ain's last flight. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Gates of Orion by patriciajj 4 years 30 weeks* ago* I just wanted you to know: I just wanted you to know that I kept this poem open in my browser, and each time that the medicine caused me to doze off, I woke later to this poem in front of me. Now that's real therapy, to wake up to Gates Of Orion twice. I have been twice blessed today, the eve of Orthodox Palm Sunday. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Gates of Orion by patriciajj 4 years 30 weeks* ago* In October, 1978, the Poet,: In October, 1978, the Poet, Dara Weir, upon learning that I had spent two years studying T.S. Eliot recommended Wallace Stevens, a poet I had studiously avoided, with the words, "He makes you work, but he pays you back." I have not stopped reading Stevens since that day. I never thought I would ever meet his equal alive, and not only alive but building a cosmic body of work before my astounded eyes. That Poet is you, Patricia. This poem was my introduction to the cosmic vision that informs and inspire your Poems. This poem will always have a special place in my heart, right up there with Eliot's Ash Wednesday and Stevens' Le Monocle De Mon Oncle. This poem ushered me into your presence, and one always remembers the first time they encountered a dynamic presence. So, visiting to determine the date of my first reading, I just had to read it again. I am again hospitalized, and the dope they give me is about to kick in and I will kick back, but before that happens, I just need to record my visit. OK, in the middle of this comment, I dozed off, so I need to go "be high" for a little while, until the pain dies. Thank you for this magnificent entrance into your Poetry. [ go to comment ]
