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.
Thank you, Julie. I am always turning to poetry, especially in times of trouble -- and I felt Cesarco Eglin would resonate. Wishing you a Chag 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."
