When it is cold here it gets cold. And everything is white— With snow like powder fog, Particles of flake, Blasted to bits by the mountain’s Rooster-tail On its way from the sweaty Pacific. The sagebrush is white; So is the juniper, so Are the gas stations,
I've never enjoyed poetry, but I always read your poems. First time I've been so deeply touched by a poem. Thanks for sharing them with us, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Most of us can understand why you didn't make much progress on the book this year, but it's good to see you getting back into it. Merry Christmas.
Passage Prize is a promising idea, and I see that you are judging the poetry entries. Time for us to turn the tables and make you indulge our literary pretensions.
I'm enjoying a lot of the poetry Yarvin has been posting lately. Would love to see some either come out in the book or a standardized collection of said poems perhaps in a book of it's own.
I like the poetry. Maybe put up one a month. Put your best stuff up. Because it’s good, and you’re getting better. You want to go for more compactness, more allusiveness, maybe a little more fluid use of words to suggest rather than denote. But generally it’s pretty good, and occasionally quite good. Don’t let the naysayers get you down. Shoot us 10 or 15 poems in 2021, and everybody will be OK. Don’t get out of the habit, don’t get off the track you are on, because you’re getting better. You are the guy who said that a new era will have to be founded in the arts, and you are a word guy, not a visual arts or musical arts guy. Poetry is an art which is currently underused and under appreciated. You may find a place there. Don’t walk away from it.
Merry Christmas, happy new year, looking forward to better times. Enjoy your writing. Frequently disagree with some of it, including some fundamental disagreements on a few points. But you are an important voice, even when you’re wrong you’re not wrong for stupid or trivial reasons, and I’m expecting many great things from you in the months and years ahead.
I’ve never gotten into poetry or maybe understood it much and mostly avoided it… but reading your poetry this past year, and you sharing your feelings and emotions in such a personal, honest and raw way, has left an impression on me. It has left an impression on me reading poetry from an artist that speaks to something happening to them in the moment. I felt your grief, sadness and emotions along side you. I don’t know you personally, but I feel a sense of friendship and desire to help carry you through tough times. Thank you for sharing your poetry and I look forward to all your future writings. I’ve been assiduously reading all your earlier writings online (to include links to other writers), so I should be ready for your next chapters! Cheers and Happy New Years to you and your loved ones!
A beautiful Christmas to the proprietor, and all the readers here.
I honestly like the poetry and hope we get at least a little next year.
