Such beauty and insight, so far beyond the self-referential whimpering which masquerades as poetry today.

Yes! this is beautiful... I always had issue with the many critics and historians who paint a picture of Monet's change of site as a limitation and a tragedy. Here Lisel has created a glimpse into the other side of wonder and possibilities that Monet had, and indeed choose to half keep. And such a brilliantly beautiful flowing poem as well.

Monet Refuses the Operation by Lisel Mueller is such an exquisite piece of work, I wish I had written it, myself! I can't think of a higher compliment from one poet to another. It is so good I am almost speechless...which is HIGHLY unusual for me! Thank you so much for posting it. All the very best, Terri Kirby Erickson, terrikirbyerickson.wordpress.com
