Thursday Poem - 3 Quarks Daily

Jan 23, 2025 | 3quarksdaily.com | Marie Howe |Jim Culleny

Part of Eve's Discussion It was like the moment when a bird decides not to eat from your hand, and flies, just before it flies, the moment the rivers seem to still and stop because a storm is coming, but there is no storm, as when a hundred starlings lift and bank together before they wheel and drop, very much like the moment, driving on bad ice when it occurs to you your car could spin, just before it slowly begins to spin, like the moment just before you forgot what it was you were about to...
Postscript

Dec 6, 2024 | portside.org | Marie Howe

Postscript Published December 6, 2024 What we did to the earth, we did to our daughtersone after the other. What we did to the trees, we did to our eldersstacked in their wheelchairs by the lunchroom door. What we did to our daughters, we did to our sonscalling out for their mothers. What we did to the trees, what we did to the earth,we did to our sons, to our daughters. What we did to the cow, to the pig, to the lamb,we did to the earth, butchered and milked it.

Three new collections, one haunting, one cathartic and one reflective, remind us why we celebrate National Poetry Month. In "New and Selected Poems," Marie Howe collects 20 new works and 91 older ones, sampling 30 years of her acutely observant verse. Where earlier poems contend with gender expectations, childhood abuse and the weight of unspeakable grief, Howe's new work contemplates how age affects her interactions with the world.
科学网-英诗汉译：赞美诗 - 武夷山的博文

Apr 8, 2024 | blog.sciencenet.cn | Marie Howe

英诗汉译：赞美诗武夷山赞美诗作者：Marie Howe（美国女诗人，1950年生）译者：武夷山© 始于几乎听不见的哼鸣，这哼鸣低沉悠长哼唱的是太阳风和遥远的暗淡星光，哼鸣逐渐变得响亮，唱的是太阳和月亮是一首无词的歌，唱的是落雪，是孕育着雪的雪雪还孕育着雨，大河无羞无愧地流淌，哼鸣变得更嘹亮——哼鸣注入连绵的山脊山峰坚如辅音，注入峰峦，是对岩状断层、地壳和裂缝的赞颂然后哼鸣往下传递，进入根部、岩石和地穴进入湖泊的平静水面，水井，海洋，进入破碎波，进入盐井深处：井内有温热的东西在移动：进入冰冷的深处：深深的底部闪闪发光：我们有些人起床当地球进入黎明，有些人躺下当地球进入夜晚；当我们大家安睡时——又有人醒来，站在废弃纸箱和汽车里；我们离开工厂，站在停车场中，离开地铁，站在人行道上，在明亮的办公室里，在杂乱的院子里，在农田里，在城镇棚户区的泥泞里，呈现出我们不晓得竟然可能出现的和谐，找到了和弦当我们找到了自己的合适位置，用一万亿种不同的调子歌唱唱出人类的赞美诗赞美人类之外曾有、现有和将有的每一事物：这首歌变得嘹亮而飞扬，...
Marie Howe’s Stunning Hymn of Humanity, Animated

Apr 4, 2024 | themarginalian.org | Maria Popova |Marie Howe

I remember singing Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” in the choir of the Bulgarian Math Academy as a child. I remember my awe at learning that across centuries of warring nationalisms, this piece of music, based on an old Schiller poem and born of Beethoven’s unimaginable trials, had become the official Hymn of Europe — a bridge of harmony across human divides. I remember wondering as I sang whether music is something we make or something we are made of.

“The Hymn,” by Marie Howe

Mar 25, 2024 | newyorker.com | Marie Howe

It began as an almost inaudible hum, low and long for the solar winds and far dim galaxies, a hymn growing louder, for the moon and the sun, a song without words for the snow falling, for snow conceiving snow conceiving rain, the rivers rushing without shame, the hum turning again higher—into a riff of ridges, peaks hard as consonants, summits and praise for the rocky faults and crust and crevices then down down to the roots and rocks and burrows, the lakes’ skittery surfaces, wells, oceans,...
“Reincarnation,” by Marie Howe

Mar 27, 2023 | newyorker.com | Marie Howe

Sometimes when I look at our dog Jack I thinkhe might be my Radical American History professor come back to make amends—he gazes at me so sorrowfully. What is it Jack, I say, why do you look like that? But Jackdoesn’t answer; he lies down and rests his head on his paws. Black hair covered nearly all of that man’s body, thickunder his blue oxford shirt when I put my hand there. Perhaps that accounted for the bow tie,the pipe, the tweed cap. This time I can teach him to sit and to stay.
