Poetry Monday: April 4, 2022

 “Oh, to be in England, now that April’s there”

Who said that?  If we really can’t remember, we can Google it, as we do almost everything nowadays.  I just did, and it was Robert Browning.

Good morning everyone.  Of course we’d love to be where cowslips  and other lovely flowers are blooming, but they’re also a-bloom in California and anywhere in the world where we don’t have to swallow antihistamines for protection against loveliness.

“April, April, weep thy girlish laughter

Struck Anew

Shock occasions change. Five years ago ROOM flashed into being as an immediate response to the 2016 US election. Psychoanalysts who had never written before felt compelled to write.       

ROOM has remained a participatory community platform, grounded in a psychoanalytic understanding of how change happens. Each issue archives a new moment. Each is a “working-through” of that which has already passed.   

But now we are struck anew. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine occurred during the final weeks of production of this anniversary issue. Still, the questions posed by the contributors in ROOM 2.22 are eerily prescient and speak collectively for all of us. Each looks toward a future none can envision.
