“The body, bald, cancerous, but still / beautiful enough” — Katie Farris (@katiefar) . . . Why Write Love Poetry in a Burning World by Katie Farris To train myself to find, in the midst of hell what isn't hell. The body, bald, cancerous, but still beautiful enough to imagine living the body washing the body replacing a loose front porch step the body chewing what it takes to keep a body going— This scene has a tune a language I can read a door I cannot close I stand within its wedge a shield. Why write love poetry in a burning world? To train myself, in the midst of a burning world to offer poems of love to a burning world. . . . This poem appeared in A Net to Catch My Body in its Weaving by Katie Farris, published by Beloit Poetry Journal, 2022. Shared here with deep gratitude. . . . #readalittlepoetry #KatieFarris #readalittlepoem #poetry #poetrydaily #readpoetry
