I love how the large and the tiny live together in this #poem. By Leonardo Sinisgalli 💔
The simplicity of that top stanza, and then those last lines..!
From “This is Bad” by Gottfried Benn #poetry in #translation 🙌🏽

Ilya Kaminsky is a hard-of-hearing Ukrainian born poet & editor. His family moved to America when he was a teenager. Kaminsky addressed his childhood in the wonderful "Dancing in Odessa." He has edited multiple anthologies, as well as translated especially Marina Tsvetayeva. Kaminsky's anthology "Ecco Anthology of International Poetry" is my go to recommendation for those who want to know about modern world poetry. A favorite.
#funFridayphoto: Favorite bookmark: the one my older son brought home from school when he was in 4th grade. He's a college junior now 😱. Everyone should receive a bookmark like this, maybe the world would be a little better. The book I tagged here is a good one; mostly contemporary poets featured.
