To Our Readers: I will be on vacation during July and August and want to wish you a happy summer. Poetry Monday will be back in September.
–Irene Willis

E.J. Brunoski
Good morning, poetry readers! As you in the Northeastern U.S. have observed, it may actually be spring here at last. In fact, given this week’s forecast, we may even have some days that feel like summer. Leaves are back on the trees, which so far have managed to ignore climate change, and some flowers are open now, seeming happy and innocent of world affairs, as I am trying to be, focused on poetry today.
Our poet this month, a new one to me as well, is E. J. Brunoski, as she prefers to be known to poetry readers. Her other – and major – professional identity is as a full-time, practicing psychoanalyst in Manhattan who has taught, supervised and run clinics. As we all know, poetry and psychoanalysis have much in common, and Elizabeth Brunoski’s education and career are an example of that. She began as an English major and poet, went on to finish most of a doctorate in English literature for which, interestingly, her dissertation was a psychoanalytic study of Nijinsky. About that time, she realized where she really wanted to head in her career and switched to a doctoral program in clinical psychology and finished up in New York University’s postdoctoral program.

When it comes to religion, how do we think that psychoanalysis can best deploy its tools of understanding: in finding commonalities with the religiously passionate, or in differentiating itself from expressions of the religious life that are clearly awful?
Elizabeth Cutter Evert: “I am drawn to look both at the ways psychoanalysis can be guilty of dismissiveness of the religious endeavor, and to think about how we have more in common with those involved in spiritual yearning then we often acknowledge.”
Jared Russell: “At what point do understanding and tolerance begin to facilitate masochistic self-sacrifice? … Understanding should not be confused with tolerance, nor should tolerance be confused with acceptance.”
Come to the first Room Roundtable on June 11, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m., IPTAR Conference Room,
I. A conversation between Elizabeth and Jared, moderated by Richard Grose. Continue reading
