—— “Stranger than habit and than obsession”
…
“We are dream natives.”
Poet Lyn Hejinian reads from her collection, The Book of A Thousand Eyes.
On Feb 24, 2024, she fell into an eternal sleep, age 82.
This month’s Reading Room is dedicated to her, my favorite poet. Let’s imagine a sleep kingdom, there is she, there’s Lorelei, the Bilinda Butchers guard the gate. Caroline Polachek
floats. Glixen widens a blue river. Sonic Youth made some fire. May her rest in peace.
