Episode 17: Hotel Eden
www.luminouswork.org/podcast.what on earth was I thinking?“Rowing in Eden” from the anthology A Convergence of Birds, feels like a Cornell box. It plays childishly on a strange ledge over a vista of time, longing, and lyricism.There are two french words in the text which I pronounce very badly: lilas and pensée: lilacs and pansies.

Very few things become stand-alone worlds even I enter breathlessly because they speak beyond what I can intend. This poem is like that for me. It was a love poem. "I do not want to move you like the sun: but like the moon" I wrote, imagining the lover a planet I would alter but not drive. I imagine walking around a whole continent. I want to be old calling...
