One Poem by Jared Beloff - Terrain.org
New from Jared Beloff: "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," a gorgeous, haunting poem.
www.terrain.org
I am so excited to share this poem and join the many many other Icarus poets. Here is my speculative ekphrastic "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which imagines Breughel's landscape altered by climate change.
Thank you @terrainorg.bsky.social!

This from @andreapitzer.bsky.social is key.
“nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training.”
“nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training.”
I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.
Into the abyss
The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

I lost my phone Sunday. Had an old one. Aside from maybe one added #, I am most upset about losing my notes app, which listed all 85 books I read last year...going analog with this, too. No, I dont want to use an app, thanks.

This was the highlight of my day. The layers of this situation are all filled with joy.
My 14yo called me at 920 so I was concerned. She says, Dad there's a hawk in the tree!

Had my AP students write Obit poems after @victoriachang.bsky.social about the death of Victor Frankenstein and they did not disappoint. "Narcissism - died in Chapter 24, succumbing to the inevitable exhaustion of relentless pursuit." "Guilt- died deep in the Arctic, cold catching up to the heart."
