@gfstarr1 Yes, we heard all kinds of hammering inside and outside the park the other day and wondered “is this a metaphor for the team?”

Great curation at the #Hokusai show @mfaboston These angled walls made for great vistas and pacing, esp with @Jumpei_Mitsui thrilling visitors and making 2d into 3d halfway through. Can’t wait for a return visit.

@sullybaseball I love it. Here in New England our farmers markets are a dream away right now.

@emilyfmaloney Enjoying this thread. Forgive if pretentious but I have to add Percy Shelley’s poem “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” for an 1816 version of this theme.

Here is a truly wonderful recording of Julian Sands passionately reciting the poetry of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley at the Keats-Shelley House in Rome. How I wish I could have been there for this reading @Keats_Shelley https://t.co/DTxJoSaM6O

@ssenier Yes, I have to bring my phone to class to log in, when a key factor in getting ready for class has been throwing the phone in a drawer for a while. Odd indeed.

I remember how Charles Simic’s students at UNH would sometimes recoil when he wrote “No” on the draft of a poem (or, worse, “it’s phony”) but then later would say “he was right—it WAS phony.” Great poet and unforgettable teacher.

Really good show by @lesliemendelson in Keene last night. I’m glad I don’t have to decide whether I like her guitar or piano songs better—she’s so great on both. @ColonialKeene
