#literary — Public Fediverse posts

A somber literary scene unfolds as a young poet gazes out at a river view, their thoughts consumed by creative turmoil and introspection.

tonight wake

tonight   wake
when late winter returns
home   your inmate

in your nightgown
with your candle kneel
beside your bed and shiver

after you go to  bed
after you go to sleep

when the horizon's become a purse
that today's early summer's
returned her sun to

when the warm breath
of today's spring's been
expelled from your chamber into the

late winter's dawn at dusk

the cold air seeps   into your cell through
gaps between the casing and the shutter
between the door frame and the door

through cracks 
in mortar and masonry he oozes
in   inhaled

the late winter returns
home   not to warm you out of your bed
but to freeze you in

Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

"Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

Fantasy can transport you. I'm not just talking about settings; I'm talking about feelings. I'm talking about the stories @MichaelJDeLuca and @RachaelKJones just read for Story Hour. Beautiful, intense, dangerous, wrenching, and even hopeful. You really have to watch this one to understand. #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #Fantasy #Literary #MichaelJDeLuca #RachaelKJones https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=1054667176311598

What is a web literary pill?

A #literary #pill is a #metaphor for something that has the potential to #enlighten, #inspire, or #heal through #literature. It is often used to describe the transformative power of literature, and the idea that reading can be a form of #healing.

In this rather remarkable study of Allen Ginsberg there are riches to be gleaned for any serious, aspiring poet. A sort of clinical as well as scholarly biography. The book was written by a psychiatrist who actually knew, as well as interviewed, Allen Ginsberg. Please read the rest of my review here:
