I'm lost. And it's my own fault.

It's about time I figured out that I can't ask people to keep me found.

The poetry that inspired Jeff Buckley

Aimee Ferrier

Sun 1 October 2023 21:15, UK

Voices as incredible as the one belonging to Jeff Buckley don’t come around too often. Unfortunately, after releasing one record, Grace, Buckley, with all his potential, was taken away too soon. At the age of 30, the singer went for a swim from which he never returned, drowning in the Mississippi River.

Yet, his legacy lives on as one of the most influential artists to emerge from the 1990s, and his music is widely celebrated today for its emotional and lyrical complexity. Not only did Buckley possess an otherworldly voice, but he was also an extremely gifted guitar player and writer, with all his talents combining to create a masterful body of work.

Even when Buckley was covering other artists’ songs, such as ‘Lilac Wine’, ‘The Other Woman’ and ‘Hallelujah’, he imbued the pieces with his own distinctive style. Yet, his penchant for covers wasn’t a reflection of an aversion to writing. Buckley knew how to pen a stunningly poetic track, with songs like ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’ and ‘Morning Theft’ suggesting that even if Buckley didn’t have the vocal pipes he was gifted with, he’d get by just fine as a writer.

Buckley took inspiration from many different writers and musicians when writing his own songs. Musically, Buckley looked back to folk artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and, of course, his own father, Tim Buckley, from whom he was estranged. Elsewhere, he loved the work of Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the rich tones of Nina Simone, and Led Zeppelin, calling Robert Plant “my man”.

However, when it came to his literary inspirations, Buckley had an extensive book collection, which he no doubt looked to for ideas when writing his lyrics. He owned a lot of poetry, with Rainer Maria Rilke proving to be a particular favourite. Not only did Buckley own Dunio Elegies, Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations Poems from the Book of Hours, but he also owned his epistolary collection Letters to a Young Poet.

Buckley was also a fan of the classic American poet Walt Whitman, owning Leaves of Grass and From the Soil. Of course, no poetry collection is complete without copies of Arthur Rimbaud’s A Season in Hell and Illuminations, alongside some Charles Baudelaire – Buckley-owned Paris Spleen. The singer also owned the Selected Poems of confessional poet Anne Sexton and modernist writer T.S Eliot.

Check out Buckley’s complete poetry collection below.

Dear Gus & Magnus,

Haircut day for the little Choate boys, then we went to buy me a new coat and get some lunch. Anything to be out of the house -- pipes still frozen; blarg.

Later, I made my first in-person appearance at the Beebe Poker Classic since 2014. (I played in the virtual game in 2020.) It was fun to play -- even though this is the first year I showed up without a costume -- and it was also fun to catch up with lots of dudes from my hometown. I finished in the middle of the pack. Bone won his sixth (?) bracelet, beating out John, Daniel Sowell, and Jed Davis in the end.

When I mentioned how much fun it was to have Bo playing cards in the side game that popped up while Will was still in the tournament, he said, "In about ten years, the tournament has the potential to grow exponentially because of the feeling it gave me for him to be there -- we'll all be bringing the young ones."

While I wasn't thrilled about staying up until 1am, I am already looking forward to next year's event.

Dad.

Little Rock, Arkansas. 1.20.2024 - 10.27am.

Ever experienced letting go of a feeling that’s been locked down inside of you since the beginning of time?

Just let it out ?

Easier said than done.

Watching such a creature detach Itself from me. The pain of it, possessing my body with paranoia once again, once and for all. Before it left me hollowed out and cold…

Is that how mothers feel ? A little death with every birth ?

Here, In a bathtub filled with the rays of the first hours of a new day. Along with all the feelings that I never got to process…

Soft blues mixed with gold hues.

I wanna be repainted, I wanna be reborn.

I’m trying to wash out the dust of the crushed stars of all the past lifes that clung to my skin.

I’m thinking of how I must re-write myself. I’m thinking of all the ink I swallowed and how it created a womb for a fetus I didn’t know i was carrying

“Breathe me in. Breathe me out”

Balanced contractions.

I’m giving birth to all the letters that will represent me, anew.

I’m cradling them. My letters. slow dancing in front of a mirror with the shadow of their existence

Everything seems peaceful.

I even feel pretty. A moment of vulnerability.

The relief of breastfeeding my soul to another being, after stripping down the heaviness of my own existence to cover them with it.
