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 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."

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that President Trump planned to buy Greenland rather than invade it. It’s not for sale, European leaders say.
Rubio Tells Lawmakers Trump Wants to Buy Greenland
President Trump has said since his first term that he wants to acquire Greenland, and he asked aides for an updated plan on Monday. European leaders rejected the president’s assertions.

Thinking of this opening stanza to a poem I wrote 5 years ago:
When the sky vanished, it was
all foreseen on the earth, parceled out,
maps marked in oil: ExxonMobil, Gazprom
British Petroleum, pipelines carving latitude,
dominion over the earth.
