redbrick commented on: against the age by redbrick 43 weeks 1 day* ago* Ozymandias is definitely an: Ozymandias is definitely an influence however distant in the past it may be, so even if the reference or allusion though not direct cannot be denied completely. I was experimenting intentionally with the dithyramb which resembles a great part of my early writing voice. So it must be a blend of sorts of 'this and that.' Thanks so much for having picked that out [ go to comment ]

Pungus commented on: against the age by redbrick 43 weeks 1 day* ago* I am reminded of the scene: I am reminded of the scene from Alien Covenant which used a line from Byron's Ozymandius "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!" I can't help but wonder whether this allusion was deliberated? [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Untethered Night by patriciajj 44 weeks 4 days* ago* Thank you for filling my day: Thank you for filling my day with incredible encouragement and light. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and inspiring comment. Coming from a true cosmic Poet and humanitarian, that means more than words can say. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd157 commented on: Untethered Night by patriciajj 44 weeks 5 days* ago* Thank you for the: Thank you for the prayers. Any poem of yours is a great reading experience; but, within that vast greatness, the poems I call centerpieces stand out radically. I compare them to two cherished astronomical experiences that blessed my life: when I saw, through my hobbyist's telescope, one of the planets (unknown which; just a point of light) move across the star, Vega; and when, in Spring, 1979, I saw the rings of Saturn, in real time, through the college observatory's telescope.

patriciajj commented on: Untethered Night by patriciajj 44 weeks 5 days* ago* I’m keeping you in my prayers: I’m keeping you in my prayers and asking that you find all the comfort, happiness and peace you deserve. I was thrilled to read your sublime, far reaching analysis and insights. Truly astounding and reassuring. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem to cut it, but truly, thank you! [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd157 commented on: Untethered Night by patriciajj 44 weeks 5 days* ago* How did I miss this? I am: How did I miss this? I am sorry that my health issues contributed to my silence. This is one of Patricia's centerpiece poems because it contains a phrase that is not only its center of gravity, but also defines her entiire collection: festival of galaxies / and truth / and gentleness. This is what makes her a Cosmic Poet, one of those chosen to be a voice for the silent Cosmos, and who explain the Universe to itself. This is also her explanation to us, about us, and about the potentiality to be pure spirit and to stand in a / fountain of stars. This phrase, fountain of stars, describes the mechanism of her poetry as well. Each star, including our sun, is a fountain of light. The light you take into your eyes and through them to your soul, call it "that light," is a one time gift: it will be folllowed by more, but never "that exact light" again---once it arrives. (Like the Greek philosopher who wrote that you cannot step into the same river twice.) That starlight is a highly individuated gift to you, like her poems, that lift our seemingly mundane lives to the stellar level. All of our bodies contain elements fused in the cores of stars. I think those elements communicate with the souls of Cosmic Poets, urging them to stand in a / fountain of stars, and then their poems radiate forth like starlight. This is how her poems work. And the stellar communion she describes will bring us to truth / and gentleness. [ go to comment ]

It is an immense blessing and a privilege to be so appreciated, and even more of a privilege to know you. May you be blessed as you've blessed others. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd157 commented on: + 4TH POEMS: Thanks To George Sand For Events On And After July 10th, 1976 by S74rw4rd-13d 44 weeks 6 days* ago* I am overwhelmed by this: I am overwhelmed by this comment, and by your understanding of how much George Sand helped me that year, the centenary of her death at Nohant. Your understanding, not only of the poem but also of my admittedly fractured soul. I truly believe that you, as my friend, understand me better than I understand myself. Only my high school mentor, and BlueShift, understood me as well. [ go to comment ]
