Poets an Poetry in the mid-20th Century
I just read The Copenhagen Trilogy: Childhood; Youth; Dependency, an autobiographical work by Tove Ditlevsen (1917-1976), a Danish poet and author. And I am 3/4 through Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath, a mammoth 2020 book by Heather Clark.
Where do poems/poets fit in todayβs world. Personally, I read almost no poetry. No one in my orbit recites, reads or discusses poetry or the lives of poets. Has the art form been relegated to βthe fringesβ in modern society? Or has it always been the province of a few?

In sociology, "erasure" describes a tendency to ignore or conceal an element of society. Dialogue published its 1st issue in 1966. Exponent II & Sunstone both launched in 1974. It's remarkable how folks can spend a half century talking about Mormonism and so studiously avoid mentioning exmormons.
Search results tell the unspoken story of our unmentionable shame and the unwritten rule requiring our exclusion:
https://www.dialoguejournal.com/?s=exmormon+
Nothing found.
https://sunstone.org/?s=exmormon
3 results. Three.
https://www.the-exponent.com/?s=Exmormon+
3 results. Three.
Welcome to The Not Even Once Club for the Mo commentariat. What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
Will 2022 mark the end of this long, weird era of exmo erasure?
My prediction: treating exodus as dΓ©classΓ© is going the way of the dinosaurs.
ETA: Someone smarter than me on Twitter kindly pointed out that hyphenated ex-Mormon returns considerably more results at Sunstone. Ditto for Exponent II.
Which has left me really upset, dammit. Not because I hate losing an argument, but because I have no idea whoβs in charge of the style guide around here.

In Tacitus' "Germania", he mentions the names of many 1st century "German" tribes. Do we know how similar these names are to what these tribes would have called themselves? Ie--would the Marcomanni or Frisii have called themselves the proto-Germanic equivalent of Marcommans or Frisians?
I was inspired by coming across this map of the Roman Empire in 125CE and saw the names of all of the Germanic tribes. I know that the suffix "i" or "es" comes from Latin, and I was curious if these names would be any kind of similar to the names that the tribes would actually have used for themselves or one another, especially since "Germans/Germania" itself was a Roman term and not, as I understand it, one that actual Germans used.
I know the overall accuracy of Tacitus is very questionable and that he is probably closer with some tribes than with others... and that some tribes' only real historical record comes from his work. But if I am a well-traveled 2nd century native German literate in Latin and I read Tacitus, would I recognize most of the groups he was talking about based on the names he used?

1st Corinthians 6:9-10 is No Longer Relevant in the 21st Century
Why? Because the Paul believed that the End Times were presently occurring in his lifetime (1st Corinthians 7:29-31 & 10:11). Same thing goes for verses 19-20 where it says that our bodies donβt belong to use, which is overt sexual abuse.

Hi - and Merry Christmas everyone. Much calmer days/posts from now on. I'd like to discuss why there is not much 1st century Judaism in most Christian sects? Took me several days to find a painting of Jesus in a hat for our worship center - and Jewish rabbis, they wear hats.
