This Fierce Afterglow, by Swep Lovitt, contains selected poems from his earlier collection, Sometimes the World is Too Beautiful along with 33 new poems. Lovitt's guiding dictum comes from Ezra Pound: "only emotion endures." These are poems of family and the day-to-day in the world, all the while burning up in the atmosphere.
PERSONAL AD UPDATE
My sexuality still won't let me
Alone, drives me to smart,
Erratic women. When I think
Of aging, I think of the Greek
Poet Seferis, calling a blood clot
A beautiful little ruby
On his brain. No longer
The post-divorce rented rooms,
A two-story white house,
Woods, beds of purple azaleas.
The Friedlaenders hung.
A blue jay on a branch just off
My porch. 2012-2019.
Seven years I've lived alone.
