Thanks so much Jan 🙏🙏🙏 BlueSky is a complete pain today - and its recording limit militates against putting any of these on #poemsaloud - so it’s gratifying when people get through and see them

November - Amy Lowell The vine leaves against the brick walls of my house, Are rusty and broken. Dead leaves gather under the pine-trees, The brittle boughs of lilac-bushes Sweep against the stars. And I sit under a lamp Trying to write down the emptiness of my heart. Even the cat will not stay with me, But prefers the rain Under the meagre shelter of a cellar window.

Today's Spoken Word News Review features the continued injustice in Gaza, and Hamas' refusal to disarm until Israel completes phase one of the agreement.

I call it Antizionophobia (the unjust hatred of those who oppose Zionism.)

Full moon over the community garden in late November, with a split rail fence in the foreground and a small shed in the distance.

Pink, orange, and white zinnias in the foreground at the community garden on an August evening, with sunflowers and a shed in the middle, and a towering row of evergreens in the distance.

Sunflowers reaching towards the clouds on an overcast afternoon in September at the community garden. In the distance, a white farmhouse, now a museum for agricultural tools.

Near the community garden, a barn and farmhouse now owned by the town, along with the land itself, about 60 acres of fields, woods, and trails.

Thank you everyone who listened to my poem 'Eventide' yesterday. Here are a few photos of the landscape: a community garden in my town. I'm hoping to make a proper poetry film once I have enough footage.

Take videos when out & about; you never know when you might want to use them for #PoemsAloud! 🌿

"Late season fruits of a sun-steeped climate"🍂

When you're in one season, dreaming of another. I wrote this in 2021 for my parents' 45th anniversary. This year would've marked a half-century in the trenches, but my dad passed in Jan. (Poem in Rockvale Review 2023)

I encroach into the realm of art song with this musical performance of two 20th century male poets reactions to Emily Dickinson—but it’s also an exploration of the mutability of The Poetry Canon. frankhudson.org/2026/04/12/f...

What’s humors’ proper weight in poetry? How well does light verse age? Can comedy gain new meaning in context? I’m just smart enough to ask I guess, answers pending.

In Common When we were young, we fell in love. We grew up together. We worked in all the restaurants together and we got out. And now we share something more than the luck it took.
