Jennifer Styperk: "Munch" by Yonathan Berg
http://jenniferstyperk.blogspot.com/2012/08/munch-by-yonathan-berg.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Munch" by Yonathan Berg. After falafel at Jaffa Gate, Yonathan and I had more time to refine our English translation of his poem, "Munch," as follows. Roses of ice in the ash. Dark water growing in the evening. There is a field of moon trees. One human animal is trapped. The crystal of the spirit abandons the child. From all he witnessed. The shadow of the hill. Corroded by violent night storms,. A grieving mother, Earth,. In the empty room arises. The face of the screamer.

Tuesday, January 11, 2011. A transplant to Pittsburgh recently called the city generous. The Pittsburgh "left," for example, allows for the car at the red light to make the left turn when the light turns green before the oncoming car proceeds down the straightaway. Driving consists of a series of waves to let your fellow driver through; the rule of the road is ‘you first.’. During the lead-up to 2011, the acapella group, In Acchord. Sings on the grand lobby stairs of the Benedum Center’s lobby. A few day...

Jennifer Styperk: January 2014
http://jenniferstyperk.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Dana Gioia on Writing a Poem. Be present. “Be present” is my January 2014 mantra. Providentially, Dana Gioia, public intellectual reinforced poetry’s role in being present, the quality of poetry with which I fell in love.
