There’s so many poems I enjoyed last year (2023) here they are in a list in no particular order:

Morning Love Poem // Tara Skurtu

À la recherche d’ Gertrude Stein” // Frank O’Hara

For Once, Then, Something // Robert Frost

Animal Languages // Chase Twichell

The Delight Song of Tsoai-talee // N.Scott Momaday

This untitled Ava Wolf poem

Clear Morning // Louise Glück

Defining the Problem // Wendy Cope

After the Movie // Marie Howe

Search History Sad // Caylin Capra-Thom

February & my love is in another state //José Olivarez

P.S. there were plenty of other things I found to be poetic that aren’t traditional modes of poetry. For instance the interview with James Baldwin and Giovanni, paintings, this YouTube video on Odilon Redon, found objects, infographics, etc.

I can’t leave these out. Quotes. Honorable mention for the Jeremy Radin one.

9. Ava’s Veterans Shot

Ava hit the nail on the head with this shot. Her backbend pose fits the extreme posing brief but still looks totally effortless. The dress looks amazing on her and she also connected well with the veteran. Finally, her face is perfection: the light is hitting her bone structure beautifully and I love her serene expression. It’s hard to believe that Ava was eliminated soon after a shot of this level.

#1 – Ava’s Veterans Shot

It is weird to see that Ava has actually kept shorter hair since the show; the mullet may be gone, but Tyra’s sentiment about strong faces actually proved true. She looks incredible now, even if I still think this is the best I’ve ever seen her photograph. You take away the hair here, and the shot would lose a lot of its wonder. The flowing hair, along with the dress makes Ava look like some ethereal being, clutching to the stability of the veteran. The shot would still be great without the hair, but I doubt I’d be putting at the top of this list. Definitely the worst makeover of all time.

Kai needs to tell everyone (anyone?) about what Ava said about Ruksana. Admitting she was the one who went and blocked them backfired cause now everyone thinks that she’s a catfish

“ Nel maggio Pietro andò in pellegrinaggio a San Michele del Gargano. La compagnia di Guardia era costituita da sessanta persone con tre crocifissi, due labari della confraternita di San Giuseppe, e quattro campanelli. Uomini avanti e donne dietro: erano ordinati come una processione: ma l'ordine rigoroso era mantenuto solo all'ingresso dei villaggi e sulle strade larghe: per i viottoli di campagna, andavano in gruppi di quattro, cinque uomini e donne, cianciando e ridendo, informandosi dai pastori del nome dei proprietari delle terre che attraversavano. I piú anziani valutavano il valore dei raccolti, la qualità delle terre, il tempo giusto per le semine. I giovani sentivano vagamente l'odore della primavera, il fermento della terra in fiore; vedevano il cielo profondo, le nuvole grasse di maggio e si guardavano negli occhi con una sorta di angoscia. Le ragazze strappavano ai margini delle strade i primi papaveri e le margherite e ne facevano mazzetti che poi portavano nelle rozze mani, non sapendo che farsene. Carmela Rivullo s'era messa due papaveri tra i capelli, ma poi uno aveva detto che pareva una capra adornata per il giorno della benedizione, facendo ridere tutti; e Carmela s'era strappata i fiori e li aveva buttati. Sperava che Pietro la guardasse; camminava dietro al giovane con un atteggiamento umile di bestia, respirando le sue orme. Pietro camminava distratto a testa alta; il suo passo era lungo, snodato come quello dei lupi; respirava a narici aperte l'aria profumata di erbe, e sentiva il vigore inesauribile del suo corpo dividere lo spazio con quel ritmo facile di respiro come se anch'egli fosse una cosa della terra e andasse per il suo cammino, senza opera di volontà. Carlo Antenucci chiacchierava continuamente, dava indicazione a tutti dei luoghi, dava spago alle ragazze con frizzi puerili, con bravate, bugie. Era la quarta volta che faceva quella strada, la conosceva a palmo a palmo, l'avrebbe fatta a occhi chiusi. Un anno c'era stato anche a mietere ed era stato l'antiniero per quindici giorni di seguito. Carlo Antenucci portava il fucile; di tanto in tanto si allontanava dal gruppo in cerca di introvabile selvaggina. Ma un giorno una lepre gli era capitata a tiro mentre tentava di attraversare il Tratturo e Carlo aveva sparato un fulmineo colpo che aveva steso a terra l'animale. Se ne vantò per tutta una giornata: e mostrava a Pietro il modo d'imbracciare l'arma, di puntare, di sparare. Pietro maneggiava il fucile con una bambinesca riluttanza che divertiva molto Carlo. Ma un giorno si allontanarono insieme e Pietro sparò a un corvo appollaiato su un pero: lo fece secco. – Hai il polso fermo e la mira giusta e poi, – gli fece il compagno cordiale, – sei solido e pieghevole come un carpino. Gli occhi di Pietro brillarono di gioia. Ma poi, ripreso il cammino, si era messo a fantasticare sulla morte: «c'era un corvo su un ramo, un colpo e rimase solo il ramo. Al posto del corvo ci va l'aria; se l'albero secca e si taglia l'albero, al posto dell'albero ci va l'aria; l'aria va in tutti i luoghi dove c'erano prima le cose vive». Camminava a testa alta con una specie di furia di cui si rendeva conto, e il leggero vento di maggio gli entrava tra i folti capelli ricciuti scompigliandoglieli. “

If we were during Old Hollywood, how your blog would look like ? also who will be the hated girly?

People would either love or hate Katherine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Ingrid Bergman, Judy Garland and Norma Shearer. Most of us would stan Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Myrna Loy, Lena Horne, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Rosalind Russell, and Caroline Lombard. Everyone would complain about how Claudette Colbert is underrated when she’s actually not but complain about how overrated Grace Kelly and Lana Turner are. We’d all be wondering where the fuck Garbo and Tierney went. Hate Wagner and Douglas for what he did to Natalie, bitch about Ava Gardner but secretly love her. Fight over who is right in the Joan Fontaine vs Olivia de Havilland feud. I’d have to ban speculations over Cary Grant and Randolph Scott’s sexuality as well as the sewing circle. Half of you would also speculate that Katherine Hepburn is bearding for Spencer Tracy. We’d thirst over Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, Errol Flyn, Henry Fonda, William Holden, Tyrone Power, Sinatra, Robert Taylor, Brando and Paul Newman. Then you’d all hate me for finding Jimmy Stewart and William Powell hot. We’re also scandalised by Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe but we stan them either way. We’d be frothing over any new Wilder and Capra films. We’d also hate and love Hitchcock cause he’s a creep but the movies are amazing.

3. Ava

The blurry effect pisses me off to no end, but I still love Ava’s half of this shot. Her face is perfection here; her bone structure looks fabulous and her eyes are powering through to connect with the camera. She almost looks slightly startled, like she was caught by the photographer in the middle of a private moment with Stefano. I like the romantic way she’s grabbing onto him, and the leaned pose and neck extension are great as well. I wasn’t sure about Ava’s potential at first, but she really nailed this shot and proved me wrong.

#4 – Ava

If I had to see anyone return, Ava would have been my choice. While not the only questionable elimination, she is probably the only one I’d say who deserved to still be competing. At least she got a better end to her story. This photo is a divine final addition to her portfolio: the strength in her bone structure, the animosity in the expression, the delicacy of the hand and wrist…all divine little elements that create a fashionable photograph, dripping with a backstory. She hasn’t linked to the dog physically, but has created an emotional connection better than anyone else. I feel like I know this woman. The one detail I am not loving is the way she is holding the cup; call me a cliché, but I would have just lived for a little finger sticking out. It would be another perfect detail to sell the shot.
