    Thanks for promoting #FramedinSeptember and for this lovely, reflective video. I was already keen to read Information Desk based on your recommendation. Now I am looking forward to it even more. You have also reminded me how rewarding it is to read poetry. 😊

    So so happy to see you back on CZcams and to listen to your reviews and criticism! Very interested to read Information Desk now, as well as go back to Elizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore. On the theme of art approached by poetry, I just finished Victoria Chang's 'With My Back to the World' who, though Chang writes herself into the poems, starts by approaching the work of Agnes Martin and On Kawara. Thinking a lot about your comment about how in our contemporary moment many poets start from themselves, and what it means to write poems in conversation with art and other objects. Thank you so much for your sharing your thoughts! Looking forward to hearing more of your reflections on what you are reading.

      Alex! It's so kind of you to be here and take the time to comment!! I actually bought that Chang book just the other day and look forward to reading it. Did you like it? Anything else you're reading that you might recommend?

    In the Divine Comedy every line has eleven syllables, the Greeks and Romans started the tradition. Never heard of modern poets doing it, really excited to read this book now.

      I’d love to hear what you think of the book. So interesting to learn that about the Divine Comedy. Do some modern Italian poets count syllables?

    Wow, another poetry enthusiast on BookTube, I'm in. Really excited to have discovered your channel. And, I am not familiar with Robyn Schiff's poetry, so thanks for the recommendation. I will search this out. I love ekphrastic poetry. I'm really excited about 'FramedinSeptember' too. So much to enjoy.

      So great to have you here!! Hehe I thought to myself that I bet you’d love Sophie’s channel. I inherited my grandfather’s library, and I have no doubt he’d be delighted to welcome you. Eleanor x
