May 18 -
I went to Catalonia the week past
And can't get Gala out of my mind
It's as if Dali is inhabiting me,
And all I think about is my muse
She was luminous with her swans
And then I saw them stuffed in the library.
That was a bit much,
But it all was
That's why we like it.
Atomic Leda, what have we made?
Suspended, untouching forever
Floating on the planes to sea

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice.
We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
