John I., thanks for your go-to quote! I think I've mentioned that I like a lot of Russian music, so I shall bear it in mind

Susan and John R., thank you! I've written a lot of poetry to music and I rather wish there was a magazine dedicated to the practice, a sort of sister publication to TER

Best wishes,
Fliss

Teaching German as I have over the years, and with substantial Jewish family, I’ve had to think about Nazism and its place in German history. My position is that Hitler hijacked the country for about fifteen years and crashed it into a ditch, much as Trump tried to do to America. Putin I see in similar terms. Let’s not reward the hijackers.

Cheers,
John

That's interesting, John; perhaps you could write a poem about it

You know Greek, I think? Do you know the term for poetry inspired by music? I've just looked online, but I haven't found anything yet 🤔

Best wishes,
Fliss

Hi Fliss,

I'd call poetry inspired by music lyric poetry, to begin with! Pound for one goes on about how all poetry aspires to music and the form suffers when it departs too much from that basis. Maybe melopoetic art? It looks like Pound also invented that term, as it happens.

Edit: I feel quite strongly about those hijackings - you're right, maybe I should write about it.

Cheers,
John
