National Poetry Month

[seraphcelene]

I'd like to start the morning with a PSA.

Public Service Announcement

Please do not, for the love of God and the little baby Jesus, please DO NOT rent The Return. I know we all want to support SMG's film career, but that is an hour and a half of your life that you will NEVER EVER EVER get back. So, don't do it. Just Say No!

end PSA

Now, on to more interesting and important news.


moireach turned me on to the fact that April is National Poetry Month and every day she gives us a new poem to appreciate. This year I've decided to do the same because there's alot of great poets and great poems out there. Including our very own, yhlee. Since I'm offline on the weekends, you'll only get one five days out of seven. I hope you enjoy.

Stella Rosetta by Yoon Ha Lee

No poem survives its own
translation. No poet is Delphi
to language future. There remains
no panegyric turn
of phrase.
The minds who read your lines
in times to come
have never heard
the voice of Homo
sapiens. You are writ
with
words
collapsed, distorted, information
clusters at the singularity
edge of
truth.

Weirdly, my family rented both The Return and The Prestige in one go. I didn't even *want* to see The Return, but my parents thought I'd like it because SMG. So I was all, let's watch The Prestige! because I really wanted to see it.

It didn't *work*.

So we ended up watching the Return after all and omg. It's way worse than you say.
