April 25, 2024: from Moon for Aisha, Aracelis Girmay
from Moon for Aisha Aracelis Girmay
— for Kamilah Aisha Moon, with a line after Cornelius Eady’s ''Gratitude''
Dear Aisha, I mean to be writing you a birthday letter, though it’s not September, the winter already nearing, the bareness of trees, their weightlessness, their gestures — grace or grief. The windows of buildings all shining early, lit with light, & I am only ten & riding all of my horses home, still sisterless, wanting sisters.
You do not know me yet. In fact, we are years away from that life. But I am thankful for some inexplicable thing, let’s call it “freedom,” or “night,” the terror & glee of being outside late, after dark, my mother’s voice shouting for me beneath stars which, I learned in school, are suddenly not so different from the small salt of fathers, & gratitude for that, & for the red house of your mother’s blood, & then, you, all nearly grown, all long-legged laughter, already knowing all the songs & all the dances, not my friend, yet, but, somehow — Out There.
In one version of our lives, it is November. Through a window I see one of our elders is a black eye of a woman, is a thinker, & magnificent. [...] It is always her birthday. She has always lived to tell a part of the story of the world, what happened here.
If not a moon, what can we bring this woman who walks ahead? For whom you were named, & whose name has been added to by you whose language crowns the dark field of what has been hushed, of what is beautiful & black, & blue.
--
Read the full poem here.
Written to the author's friend, poet Kamilah Aisha Moon, who died in 2021. Read one of her essays: It's Not The Load That Breaks You Down; It's The Way You Carry It.

This was Raphael’s preparatory drawing for a detail in the mosaic decoration at the Chigi Chapel in the church of S. Maria del Popolo, Rome, where God the Father in the centre of the ceiling is encircled by the sun, the stars and the six known planets, each with a commanding angel. This angel appears above Jupiter. This mosaic appears in the dome of the chapel known as the Heavens. Bathed in divine light, the angel in this red chalk drawing by Renaissance artist Raphael commands worship of God with his pointing left arm, guiding our attention upwards. He expresses tenderness towards humanity below with his more open right hand. The angel is strongly associated with the birth of Christ, due to the important role that they played as messengers in the traditional Christmas story. The word ‘angel’ comes from the Greek ‘angelos’ or messenger’. ⁠ Study for an angel, c.1515–16, Raphael (1483–1520). Red chalk on laid paper, 19.7 x 16.7 cm. Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England. WA1846.208 :: [Robert Scott Horton]

Something both annoying and wonderful about my university is that GTAs have complete creative control over the classes we teach. Yaaaayyyy!!! But also class planning feels like the Wild West. There are no boundaries, structures, or templates. Also, there's a culture of using online materials instead of expensive textbooks, which is great, but I feel very pressured to come up with 100% of my course materials on my own.
I had to have some way to filter my poetry writing class, or I was just going to continue to stupidly flounder, so I settled on the theme of "home" and broke up my semester into three subcategory units: homeland, hearth and home, and home as place. This has been a very helpful organizational device for my brain, and has allowed me to generate lots of ideas about poets who write broadly in these themes. Picking out poems for us to read has been a lot of fun.
Here are a few of the poets I'm excited to read this semester: Mahmoud Darwish, Ilya Kaminsky, Li-Young Lee, Dunya Mikhail, Hugh Martin, Victoria Kelly, Hayan Charara, Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Danez Smith, Bruce Snider, Mary Oliver, Lucille Clifton, Anne Sexton, Natasha Trethewey, Marilyn Nelson, Ada Limón, Sharon Olds, Jamaal May, Maggie Smith, Ruth Stone, Aracelis Girmay, Wendell Berry, Ross Gay, Robert Hayden, Terrance Hayes, Brigit Pegeen Kelly, Yusef Komunyakaa, Philip Levine, Adam Zagajewski, W.S. Merwin, and James Wright.
I'm sure I'll think of many more as the semester continues. I feel moderately well-read in contemporary poetry for pretty much the first time ever, so it's a good time to teach my first poetry class.
