Im reading and loving the poet Joe Weils recently published collection: The Great Grandmother Light: New and Selected Poems NYQ Books). Highly recommended. Order it today. Heres a sample. Thanks, Joe, for this beautiful, expansive book. When I am No Longer Human for Miguel Hernandez When I am no longer human, then I will be human, when I am no longer visible except as sound, a low groan in the mind of a passerby, then I will be neither night nor day, but dusk as I was meant to be. A place in the vast sky that is no place. A hunger that belches as if it were a feast-- contradiction at peace with death, with life, at war with contradiction. Come to me, you who were so beautiful, and whom I desired and was too cowardly to fully take-- come and pass through me, ghost of my living. Failure, sit at my feet, I can finally write you. I can place my hands upon your head, and give you blessing. Die into me, all that I wanted, all that I gathered up. My hands are open to release you. You break your wings against me, against the first star and the last.
