1120: Monet Refuses the Operation by Lisel Mueller The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

    • Aplikované umenie

Today’s poem is Monet Refuses the Operation by Lisel Mueller.

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Poets and visual artists work to give representation to the world which shimmers and blurs. Sometimes only impressions are available. Rather than a fidelity to things as they are, we desire to represent those very distortions. Today’s dramatic monologue is a gem of a poem, one that reminds how everything around us is divined with light, even our imperfections.”
