Loved so many parts of this, J. Lots of thoughts but I’ll stick to the kind of narcissistic comment, which is that I wrote and thought about eros, springtime, and specifically Aquinas’ concepts of love and beauty a few years ago, in a poem that got taken up by Apocalypse Confidential—not realizing Neruda already wrote such a winner-takes-all stunner of line about it. I don’t mean to shamelessly grift and plug my work so much as say namaste, and thank you for giving me a sense of intellectual camaraderie. Also, pagan eros is not repressed but baptized—wow. https://apocalypse-confidential.com/2022/04/27/spinneret-fair-game-forrest-living-proof-could-and-would/
