"You remember too much,"

my mother said to me recently.

"Why hold onto all that?"

And I said,

"Where can I put it down?"

She said,

"When you see these horrible images why do you stay with them? Why keep watching? Why not go away?"

I was amazed.

"Go away where?" I said.

- Anne carson, from "The Glass Eassy"

I am doing my best to not become a museum of myself. I am doing my best to breathe in and out.

I am begging: 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.

With every little thing

I know of hope

I've made this home.

Where one lives and not just exists

Laughs and dances without any care.

Where kindness and peace

are the only religion

Where looking up at the stars heals every scar

Naive? Yes, it is.

But that's where I live.

Until cruel, bitter reality

comes knocking at my door

Startling me awake

from my sweet, silly dreams

And like my second nature,

I pack in haste.

leaving for somewhere new

With just a feeling that

something is missing

Only to realise halfway

I...

forgot myself behind.

sorry thinking about how i wrote an entirely lovecraft themed poem about transgenderism for my beginning creative writing class last semester and one single person besides the professor in that room full of english majors recognized that it was referencing lovecraft. i do not mean this in a way that shames people for not having read stuff or for not having the means to read stuff. but oh my god guys does anyone who is getting a higher level education in literature even look at the literary sources of common phenomena in media nowadays

#sorry i know i did not directly name drop cthulu so maybe it was too subtle. #and sure like. miskatonic university and the necronomicon are visible enough terms in the collective consciousness that you maybe wouldn't #consider that they had even really come from anywhere else. #i'm not gonna say that i'm a huge classic literary horror fan or anything but i am a freak in a way that is conducive #to doing further investigation into things like that for reasons of personal interest. #however i was talking about sleeping horrors and going mad and the great ones in the sea the whole poem 😭 #like if you guys didn't know it was lovecraft what the fuck did you think i was talking about that whole time 😭 #anyway experienced an indescribable emotion when the professor went 'raise your hand if you knew this was referencing lovecraft' #and that One Guy put his hand up... austin we're in this together for real. i did not think that the fantasy epic poem you wrote #for the final was particularly groundbreaking. but i respect the grind i really do #anyway english majors watch some overly sarcastic productions videos on classic literature i prommy it's good for understanding references #i've read like three lovecraft short stories in their entirety. but cultural osmosis and general interest in a topic #will do so much for you in terms of literary illusions. i prommmmmyyyyyyyy #valentine notes

#couldn't put in all the poems but we did shooting stars by carol ann duffy for nat5 english #and then a collection of liz lochheads poems for the scots section at higher english #also didn't really want to put the ja/tw ones together but i couldn't quite fit in the more than one/none of these without grouping them :( #anyway. does anyone want a poll of the films i studied for school #stevie.txt

If you ever want to see

Just how beautiful one could be.

Come to me. Because I know

A girl from the clouds

She's the closest I've come to touching a star.

It's a mystery.

How someone like me stumbled upon

the universe's prettiest creature

Her smile

Her weird little antics And chezzy flirting

I admit she needs a little help :)

She says

"I am you.

You are me."

And that's the kindest thing

that's ever been said to me.

I could never tell her enough about

how much she means to me.

So I wrote this silly little poem.

i love not studying

#personal #the english chronicles #listen. i tried 😭 #my attention span today is just shot #genuinely annoyed w myself for not getting caught up on readings not even bc of the exam but bc i really like what i have read and i know #once we start the new book after the exam this poetry collection is going to get buried and i won’t come back to it until like. winter #break or smth #im not really worried abt doing well on the exam like i have the gist of things and he said he’s not going to expect us to have certain #poems or whatever memorized i think that will probably go fine. and if it doesn’t then at least i know what to expect on the next few exams #but not getting through the collection for my own sake. boo

Not too hard to have a big Russian lit collection when all the books are shaped like bricks

#i don't mind it but... a lot of these books ARE pretty hefty #my collection so far is as follows: #in russian: dostoyevsky - white nights ; lermontov - narrative poems ; tolstoy - ivan ilyich #in english: grossman - life and fate #in slovenian: tolstoy - anna karenina ; gogol - dead souls ; goncharov - oblomov #... bulgakov - master and margarita ; pushkin - secret diary #that diary is insane from start to finish but should be taken with fistfuls of salt because they don't know if it's genuine or not #so i'd very much like to add something else from pushkin to the collection but... at the right time #i'm not in too much of a rush #ru-lit

In the three essential volumes, the balanced triad of Philip Larkin’s achievement, all the poems are poised vibrantly in the forcefield of tension between his profound personal hopelessness and the assured command of their carrying out. Perfectly designed, tightly integrated, making the feeling of falling apart fit together, they release, from their compressed but always strictly parsable syntax, sudden phrases of ravishing beauty, as the river in Dante's Paradise suggests by giving off sparks that light is what it is made of.

— Clive James on poet Philip Larkin

from his review of the 1988. publication of Collected Works (from Faber. ed. by Anthony Thwaite)

[note. the three essential volumes being The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings, and High Windows.]
