Of Thee I Would Possibly Sing By: Kell Robertson

what magic have we buried in the backyard
with the old parts of things that never worked
to begin with and where is Hank Williams
and where is Lightnin Hopkins and where
my Billie Holiday can you sing your blues and oh my love where has our heart gone?

i just encountered Ben Lerner and his works today. i’m loving his analysis on voice characterisation and how poetry/fiction genres bleed into each other. next i’ll be reading “The Hatred of Poetry”, which is an ironically apt title for enthusiasts of the genre.

i’ve just begun reading the first of the Monk & Robot series. Becky Chambers writes really introspective sci-fi.
