#TheBeautyOfTheHusband ('La belleza del marido') by #AnneCarson

Qué guilt attack comprobar que le han dado el Nobel a... (sigue en ALT)

"Perfection rested on them for a moment like calm on a lake.
Pain rested.
Beauty does not rest".

#LiteratureNobelAward #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #BookSky

Qué guilt attack comprobar que le han dado el Nobel a Carson sin haber colgado la review de su poemario más conocido (y del que he copiado en mi "cuaderno de inspiracion" tantos versos). La fecha de lectura ha sido implacable: junio de 2025. La gran cantidad de libros leídos sumada al escaso interés de mis reviews, me hace saltarme obras no siempre conocidas de géneros minoritarios, que merecen todos los focos. ¿Y qué hay más invisible que una mujer poeta? En este bello, doliente e inolvidable 'The Beauty of the Husband', Carson nos narra con un estilo nada clásico y convencional (mezclando versos con diálogos, citas de autores y prosa poética) la espinosa y difícil relación con su marido infiel, mentiroso patológico y persona despreciable con 0 responsabilidad afectiva. Enamorada de él desde su adolescencia, conmueve la honestidad de la autora al confesar el poder noqueante y anulador que el deseo + la belleza de su pareja, a pesar de no merecerlo, ejerció sobre ella a lo largo de los años. Y aquí es donde mi voz termina y empieza la suya: "Loyal to nothing my husband. So why did I love him from early girlhood to late middle age and the divorse decree came in tbe mail? Beauty. No great secret. Not ashamed to say I love him for his beauty. As I would again if he came near. Beauty convinces. You know beauty makes sex possible". * "Perfection rested on them for a moment like calm on a lake. Pain rested. Beauty does not rest". * "Fate's my bait and bait's my fate. On a June evening Here''s my advice, hold. Hold beauty".

Day 8: Stinky A new guest is here Showing them around the house He's happy today Near the closet now A stink coming from in there "A dead mouse, perhaps?” He’s avoidant "Maybe," he says and quickly changes the subject It's unbearable decay is filling the lungs “Let’s go someplace else." Tony can't risk it This is his thirteenth target His lucky numberDay 9: Ram Marty rammed his car Intentionally into the tree It was an accident That's what he’d try and tell thee Trying to make it look like one For a punishment less severe He would convince everyone He lost control of the steer The animal he has killed Is regarded as sacred Go to prison for ten years And face the community's hatred Little does he know The forest has eyes Drinking, murder, now trickery To his sins the forest is wise The moon would once again witness Nature’s justice from afar The tree’s damaged trunk was his alibi Now its roots are devouring the car

A quiet heart can hold a thousand stories. 🕊️ Which feeling found you today? You can answer in one word. #haiku #emotionalpoetry #poetrycommunity #DailyHaikus

An emotional haiku about a quiet heart holding many stories and reflecting on the feeling that finds us today.

"Imperfect".

Latest in a sequence "To Be Continued"; each starts with the last line of another poet's poem. (Very much a first draft.)

(first line from John Curry's “Small Seconds” in "Odd" 1:3) the small seconds dropped into place snug in the spaces left for them it’s in the calm before the storm that damage strikes and like the tingle in a tongue before a sneeze the world fizzed each separated interval of time a little bomb exploding recognition of the fear to come days weeks months or even decades later

The person I could have been.

White poem text on a black background with purple smoke. It reads: "I miss the image they built of me in their head. The image I could have been, but instead I self-destructed all over again. Losing not only them, but the person I could have been." Signed @poetickirby, bottom left.

AI‑generated emails are flooding writer inboxes with fake flattery, invented book titles, and fabricated awards. I break down what they look like, how to spot them, and what to do next. buff.ly/ozcYRag

Turgescent Twilight by Shikhandin

Where twilight deepens, the human soul unravels—revealing beauty, terror, and truth in equal measure.

the weight of the world
is hard
to carry around.

tied to my neck
is the
mill stone
of my cares.

in the whole wide
world
there is nowhere
to go.

waiting to catch
a lift.

to put my burden down.
