haringmakata: “In a poem, one line may hide another line…” This terrific conversation reminded me of the opening of Kenneth Koch’s poem.

JHyphenTKelly: Here is a line from Kenneth Koch's Making Your Own Days (I love this book!), talking about Le Livre est sur la table: "The prose sense of the poem remains unclear. However, the individual moments are fairly clear." What a wonderfully useful phrase: the prose sense of the poem.

NYSSNetwork: Have just seen this & it's stunning - a beautiful, strange journey with Kenneth Koch's 100 odd characters (all brought to life via Shearer Bassett's incredible voice, hands, eyes, & props) to locations from medieval England to Morocco, exploring magic, writing, love, & death...

pavanyara_: There isn’t time enough, my friends— Though dawn begins, yet midnight ends- To find the time to have love, work and friends. Pick two. And two can pay you dividends But never may have three.

MBTIhorsewomen: FYI: a highly logical grey-eyed, German ENFP wildcat, holding a cerulean baseball cap, listens to Kenneth Koch on her Discman while coyly leading a beautiful black and white Sumatran tiger.

hobbitmuse: WaPo: The Koch network now joins the Club for Growth, another of the largest outside spenders, and several of the party’s biggest individual donors such as finance billionaires Kenneth C. Griffin and Stephen A. Schwarzman in signaling their opposition to Trump’s current campaign.

londonvinjamuri: The Koch network joins the Club for Growth, the conservative low-tax group that once backed Trump, and other high-profile Republican donors like hedge fund executive Kenneth Griffin and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman in opposing Trump’s current campaign

billmeikrantz: Ugh. Upended a mug of coffee next to stacks of books. Irrevocably damaged: a vintage copy of Beckett's How It Is, Pierre Senges' Fragments de Lichtenberg. Salvaged: Kenneth Koch's One Thousand Avant-Garde Plays, a Penguin Schopenhauer (Essays & Aphorisms).

SuperFamousTia: See a poem-play for World Poetry Day (3/21) or Poem in Your Pocket Day (4/29)!

JHyphenTKelly: Still reading Making Your Own Days by Kenneth Koch. There is no fear in Koch. Or telling-what-to-do-ism. He doesn't talk at all about what he doesn't like. He likes what he likes a lot! The book is so personable and casual. But it is deep. Koch may be my Rilke.

Ishmaelphineas: “…Last evening we went dancing and I broke your leg. / Forgive me. I was clumsy and / I wanted you here in the wards, where I am the doctor!” (Kenneth Koch) In the clumsiness of Public Health, which has a secret sympathy with sickness, is the clumsiness of many a soul.

RezekJoe: In class when we asked Kenneth Koch what it was like to publish a poem in the New Yorker he said “well I can be sure my dentist will read it.”

SuperFamousTia: See you on Feb. 7. Or Feb. 27 (free stickers, for Koch's birthday! They're so flippin' CUTE). Or March 5th. Kenneth Koch's "Edward and Christine." Performed by my hands, mostly. For you, while you hang out in your home.

calciferol_50: I post this recording of "One Train" by Kenneth Koch a lot, because it's one of the best things. I remembered it again this morning, and so here it is:

SuperFamousTia: This Saturday! An epic love story told in a fallible human way. Or, a fallible human love story told in an epic way. It's...it's one of those. ;)

juliannepachico: 5) To World War Two by Kenneth Koch -

JHyphenTKelly: Reading Making Your Own Days by Kenneth Koch. I am drawn in his poetry to the joy. In these essays he provides a way to look at poetry not as a war between poets who are right or wrong—but as a language which changes with each person who speaks it. I have been seeking this idea.

GuureGeedi: PERMANENTLY by Kenneth Koch One day the Nouns were clustered in the street. An Adjective walked by, with her dark beauty. The Nouns were struck, moved, changed. The next day a Verb drove up, and created the Sentence.

MBTIhorsewomen: FYI: a reflective and inventive brunette ISFJ debutante, haltingly adjusting a demure yet thoughtful calico sweater, is hiking through some skillful mountains, listening to Kenneth Koch alongside a magical very dark brown moose.

naravive: Here is the first publication in AI of Kent’s “critical fiction” in which he rather ingeniously “proves” that a famous O Hara poem was actually written as secret homage by Kenneth Koch. The attributed author, Tosa Motokiyu, was one of Kent’s heteronyms!
