β€œToday’s poem beautifully captures the pain of distance, of longing, of wanting to be somewhere, or with someone, when you can’t be," shares host @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social in today’s episode.

1366: Nostalgia by Matthew Minicucci Today’s poem is Nostalgia by Matthew Minicucci.

What better way to wind down the week than with an episode of THE SLOW DOWN, featuring Acre poet @mattminicucci.bsky.social whose work host @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social says "captures the pain of longing...to be somewhere, or with someone, when you can’t be"? πŸŽ‰πŸ–ŠοΈ

AI stole basically everything I ever published along with pretty much every other writer so, no, I don’t think it’s cool or interesting or useful & now I don’t trust you because you think it’s β€œneat.”

It’s just theft.

I think it’s purely related to when I learned these things. I learned to translate as an undergrad and always did it longhand. Whereas I started writing regularly in grad school, when I almost always typed everything. It might be no more complicated than that!

With poems almost always typing drafts. With translation, almost always longhand!

Flashback Friday! @mattminicucci.bsky.social "has created, in extraordinary #poems of counterpoint, elegy, and autobiography, a dualism (a mirroring, a conjunction, a metronomic pairing) not binary so much as inclusively generative and devastating." (Kathy Fagan) press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...
