Across the feed, a call,
deleting names, fearing loss,
human art survives.
I've not read a #poetry book since school, but Brandon Kilbourne's Natural History Poems shows what I've been missing. A natural history curator himself, Kilbourne's #poems explore #colonialism in #museums, the awe of nature, and the wonder of #fieldwork. It's beautiful and thoughtful.
One of favourites from Jack Gilbert, with one of the most powerful endings I’ve ever come across.
We wake some mornings
with a sense of lack
hidden in the tear
#unexpected in the corner of the eye
The aching loss of belief
in a future that loves us
But the world we grieve
was created by others
Handed to us on an iron platter
What lies before us is our own creation
Le petit prince

If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
It is unforgettable because its fury refuses to become helplessness.
What does “inglorious” make you see?
