I chose the poet and the (excerpted) poem because they represent so much of what I admire: a review of both, the good and the bad that surrounds us, a strong desire for justice or the fight for it. A will to remember history, awe of nature, and pleasure derived from language that uses patterns related to science while sounding lyrical as we expect from poetry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It also fits with last Monday&#8217;s Jewish holiday of Tu B&#8217;Schevat, the Festival of the Trees. It&#8217;s not a biblical holiday but marks the beginning of the annual agricultural cycle for trees (and tithing.) Starting with the 17th century, the date was celebrated with a Seder meant to repair our standing in the earthly and spiritual realm. Four cups of wine are offered, from white to shades of red symbolizing different levels of creation. Foods are served that remind us of the complexity of our existence. The first fruits and nuts have inedible shells, like pomegranates or almonds, and represent the physical world in which protection and defenses are necessary. Then fruits with inedible cores like apricots or olives, to recall both physicality and inner emotions that need protection. The third group are fruits like figs or blueberries that can be fully eaten. They stand for the highest level of physical and spiritual perfection achievable in the corporeal world. The final \u201cfruit\u201d is not physical and cannot be eaten, standing in for the spiritual realm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Today&#8217;s poem includes numerous fruits and trees and certainly thinks through how we can integrate, change or repair the many layers that make up our existence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?resize=80%2C107&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0994-copy.jpg?w=1350&amp;ssl=1 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Danish writer <a href=\"http:\/\/2018. https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poets\/inger-christensen\">Inger Christensen<\/a> was one of Europe&#8217;s leading contemporary poets until her death in 2009. (<a href=\"https:\/\/lareviewofbooks.org\/article\/astonishments-for-our-time\/\">Here<\/a> is a link to a great overview of her approach to life and work.) A staunch progressive and a visionary, she focussed on community over individualism and encouraged all of us to act on our beliefs. In my more blasphemous moments I think of her as the Hannah Arendt of poetry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I am currently reading a brilliant collection of her essays,<em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndbooks.com\/book\/the-condition-of-secrecy\/\">The Condition of Secrecy<\/a><\/em>, that was published posthumously. For today, though, I offer a long-form poem based on the alphabet and the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence of numbers (each number the sum of the two previous ones.) Yes, by definition it gets long &#8211; and no, I am not posting all 76 pages of it &#8211;  but also ever more inclusive of the many aspects of our world. The alphabet pattern is slightly lost in English translation (a superb one) &#8211; it&#8217;s simply not possible to maintain the beginning letters. I don&#8217;t speak Danish, but I can &#8220;hear&#8221; the pattern.

Published in 1981, the psalm-like verses include the terror of nuclear annihilation, but the vision beneath it all really speaks to timeless ways of mankind endangering itself (and the planet) in our struggle for riches and power. It also reminds us of all that exists independently of us, to be cherished and protected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">My photographs are of some of the plants and trees she mentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alphabet<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-heading\">(Excerpt)<strong>  <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">by <strong>Inger Christens<\/strong>en<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><small>translated by Susanna Nied (1-8) and Pierre Joris (9-end)<br><br>1<br><br>apricot trees exist, apricot trees exist<br><br><br><br>2<br><br>bracken exists;
