Did you feed your tragic eyebrows? Calling all Mysterious Poet Figures! Once–quite recently–a Russian poet and fiction writer who writes beautifully in English put two words together in an exquisite poem to bygone poets. That little phrase inspired three poems and three songs and probably a whole breathless dreamworld. Rina’s poetry deals with love, queerness, death, illness, anguish, dreams….soak it up as I reveal the origins of the song “Tragic Eyebrows” and spotlight two favorite poets of mine.
