That silence is best
that action and reaction are equal that control, discipline
and liberation are bywords when spoken by an appraiser
that the accidental sometimes achieves perfection...

In Search of the Perfect Poem Daily writing prompt What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? View all responses If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know I add a poem to each post. Each day I go in search of one that pairs with whatever I’m writing. I started doing it simply because I love poetry and want others to love it too.

Poetry pulls me in where long novels lose me. A single word can send me down a rabbit hole, like counterpane in Moby-Dick. In this post I reflect on my love of poetry and bring in Marianne Moore’s Poetry to show why it matters. #Poetry #WritingLife #MarianneMoore #AmWriting

Poems by Marianne Moore

Library card with signatures from Tom Carter and Ashley Brown

Loved visiting Special Collections with my “Modern Poetry’s Media” class last week. Here’s one from the Egoist Press I didn’t know we had—complete with card listing the early Shenandoah editors who checked it out when it was in the stacks #MarianneMoore #modernism

One discovers that a place for the genuine
Hands that can grasp
eyes that can dilate
hair that can rise
The same thing may be said for all of us
that we do not admire what we cannot understand...🚶🏻‍♂️🌃

Remembering Marianne Moore's birthday, I, too, feel the excitement of a well-written sentence as a sail rejoices in the wind.
