I appreciate how you plunge into syntax and line placement to open the cocoon of the poem, the father cocooned in the son, both cocooned in the poem, a koan the poet discovers, or maybe both cocooned in the poet, a koan the poem discovers. A figure arising from pregnancy?
Thank you, thank you! I had not heard of Larry Levis before, but this is a fabulous poem, and so true.
I have his selected poems here in Paris if you ever want to borrow it! :)
Yes, I would love to. I looked a few up and liked them, although so far the one you shared is my favorite.
This is a gorgeous poem, thank you for sharing! And congrats again, I must tell you how excited I am for you on every platform! 🥰
Thank you dear Samantha! <3 I appreciate it on every platform ;)

Thank you so much for this. I love the idea of pregnancy contributing to writing.
Rachel congratulations. I remember talking about this so long ago in Recanati! Loveliness ahead… 💕
