Great article, I too have suffered from labyrinthitis (viral or the other one I no not which) and I think your description is spot on.
Have you thought about buying a desktop? Might help with the posture....

Lovely copy and photograph. Some reflected glory for his translator, Robin Fulton. The poetry is so Scandinavian it's almost Scottish - a northern mix of dark and light.

What a beautiful evocation!

It definitely stretches the limits with the mind when you go through very good info and make an effort to interpret it properly.

Un sueño feliz.

Como el llanto
que recuerda
la noche siento
la vida pasar
suavemente
en el dulzor
de la mañana.

What a fantastic story! Really powerful

i like how the theme of interpretation frames the piece.
beautiful shot of tunnel as metaphor and reality.

such a moving sequence of amir so carefully handling his "visa"/documents - the devastation in the south making his gesture so tentative.

hauntingly beautiful dream sequence with kaleidoscopic lights - simultaneously evocative and chilling.

what is that piano piece?

well done. want to see more.

This is a beautiful story about poetry. I enjoy reading poems in my free time. I am a student who one day hope to become a writer.

Comme oiseau dans la neige.

Dans la chaleur
des émotions,
dans la neige
qui revient
en donnant un
poème et un
souffle de soleil.

This essay is quite an adventure.

It Reminds me of a modern day "Casablanca."

Vivid and moving!

Tim O'Brien wrote The Things They Carried; Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse 5; Michael Herr, Dispatches; Homer, The Iliad. I know you know this... who's proofreading?

Hauntingly evocative and memorably poignant. A true glimpse into a horrid reality. Thank you, Adam.

Thank you.

Lovely story. One that lingers in the mind.

Provocative, skillfully-wrought glimpse into a world so heartbreakingly devastated that children cannot smile or play... in which the celebration of new life is interrupted by death. Carefully, movingly communicated here. Bravo!

touching,I hope she'll smile someday..May god give her and many like her..Patience.. :-)

After the peal.

When a
settled memory
returns near
a sensible
meaning I call,
in the sky,
the light of
a fine bird.
