A snippet from the fifth chapter of “Shadow of the Black Tower”, my gothic love story of Lovecraftian horror, swords, and sorcery running serialized in Magazine. It releases alongside a plethora of great fiction from spectacular authors in tomorrow’s issue!

2/15 What makes a poem good?

Good at what? There's a saying that you can't have an optimum without a criterion. In other words, a poem may be good at one thing and bad at another.

I've read plenty of poetry that I enjoyed that was technically unsatisfying, and I've read plenty of highly technical poetry that did nothing for me. Some poems that other people love, I just don't get. I think I probably love some poems other people don't get, too.

"Good" is in the eye of the beholder.

2/15 What makes a poem good (cont.)

I guess I didn't answer the implicit question, "What makes a poem good for me?" I think it's a combination of texture, cleverness, structure, and emotion.

Texture - word choices that give the poem a distinct feeling or character

Cleverness - Things like word play, rhyme schemes, astute observations

Structure - Some kind of element that repeats or contextualizes the poem

Emotion - Not the author's, but mine. Do I feel something reading it?

Tahoma / Mount Rainier in evening glow. It’s always special when the “mountain is out” like few days ago, towering over Lake Washington.

The weather in Toronto is so incredibly lovely today. Like just absolutely beautiful, the kind of weather that makes you wanna just go outside and sit doing nothing. The fact that it is February 9 and this weather is almost certainly a significant data point in an accelerating trend of global warming gives the pleasantness a horrific tone

JD_Cunningham, to poetry

It is a serious thing, nothing.
The notion confounds the mind
As wind confounds the sea.
A woman fixes words to a miracle,
A man describes himself to God.
The syllables amount to something,
But they are nothing to speak of.
-- 'To Speak of Nothing' by N. Scott Momaday

For the last year I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening To Today" links in this thread:

https://mastodon.social/@mcc/108199886340178151

The thread is now so long it is increasingly breaking Mastodon, so I am making a new thread, starting here.

To recap, here's the entirety of the year-one thread in the most impractical possible format: A YouTube playlist containing 246 songs and running for just over 47 hours:

What I'm listening to today: "Shadow of Doubt", Hajime Mizoguchi

This is from the 1996 proto-Isekai anime "Vision of Escaflowne", co-scored by Yoko Kanno (see upthread) and her husband at the time, cellist Hajime Mizoguchi. This track was written (and mostly performed) by Mizoguchi, and consists of layer after layer of Steve-Reich-reminiscent violins laid down in loops until it's just a wall of sound, a violin mosh pit. Just one of my favorite, like… songs, period.
