Thanks so much, Aviya. I don’t have any formal training in poetry but I’ve been finding some solace in it these days and I appreciate you bringing these poems and poets to my attention. Wishing you and all of us some light. Chanukah sameach.
So beautiful! Lau's poems are gorgeous, and Jesse Lee and Catherine's translations are wonderful. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate--wishing everyone light.
Chag sameach! I love this gorgeous set of reflections on the poetry of Laura Cesarco Eglin and the heart-lifting link to "Ocho Kandelikas" in this "Chanukah like no other Chanukah in my memory, when so many of us are noticing old and new sources of darkness."

Thanks for sharing the poems and the beautiful rendition of Ocho Kandelikas.
