From “No Miracle, No Act of God” by Jacques Rancourt

because there were no other ways to go.
Once, I rode my bike down a hill into
the side of a shed because I felt for the first time
that invincible charge coursing through me
or because I didn’t, because I never have,
not even at ten, and when the shed grew closer,
I held out my hand to protect myself, or to say No,

on a photograph of George and Mary Oppen
They have survived one another.
The earth holds them the way it holds
children: gladly and curiously affected.
His silver head piles its years on her lap.
His body seems borrowed, already an absence.
Her right hand maps his temples, his forehead. …

Spring rain beats on broken branches

the bell tower at the end. Here’s

Welcome to melodically challenged
Our weekly radio show plays the best in contemporary poetry, traditional, and avant-garde poetry, and alternative music revolving around a theme.
You can listen to both our syndicated program and melodically challenged live! on WRAS Album 88 (http://22113.live.streamtheworld.com/WRASFM_SC or on your radio app) on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 pm Eastern Time.
We are distributed for syndication by PRX and are played around the country on college, community, and public radio stations.
Please spread the news of our show as well as these poets and musicians. Thanks for listening!
Besides broadcasting the best poetry being written today read by those poets, we want to award scholarships to college students interested in poetry and radio with the RVM3 Radio / Poetry scholarships, and to pay undergraduate and graduate students and poets to work on the show. You can help! Donate to our 501(3)C. It is tax deductible.
If you hear a poem on our show you like, or have a favorite poem you’d like to share, fill out our form and let us know! We’d love to hear from you.
Hear our show!
The syndicated version of melodically challenged broadcasts on our home station, WRAS-ATL (88.5 FM), from 7:00-8:00 PM EST Tuesday evenings. melodically challenged LIVE! follows right after that from 8:00-9:00pm EST. Listen to both hours on HD2, online at WRAS.org, https://tunein.com/radio/Album-88-885-s225441/ or with your smart phone radio app set to Album 88. Please tune in!
