Photograph of a printed poem titled “Letter to Lorca Written on His Piano, Granada, 2019.” The poem is arranged in two vertical columns on a cream-colored page with black serif text. The verses reflect on grief, exile, political violence, love, and survival, invoking imagery of roads, captors, dark stars, burning worlds, and the instruction to continue living and loving despite devastation.
This poem reads like a letter written in grief & urgency—addressing the dead, the living, & the moment we are failing to meet. It is about exile, love, memory, & the unbearable instruction to keep going even as the world burns.

#JosephFasano ’s “Lorca (after Neruda)” reminds us that repression may silence a body, but it cannot extinguish what that body carried.

“Look up
as you must have looked
before love came,
before love went,
before ash was ash.”

@harvard.edu educated #poet #JosephFasano blocked me over a faux-pas I committed before I had a chance to correct it. So I blocked him in return. Is this how #CancelCulture works? #TalkToTheHand! ✋️😝

FOR A STUDENT WHO USED AI TO WRITE A PAPER Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. — Joseph Fasano
“Love is for the ones who love the work.”
