Three new poems: Jubilate Mammonæ, Museum of Broken Hearts and Carmen Philomelaicum

I have three poems in the Autumn 2025 issue (Volume 51, Number 2) of California Quarterly:

• Museum of Broken Hearts
• Jubilate Mammonæ
• Carmen Philomelaicum

The last is a translation of a Latin poem by Eusebius of Toledo, my first published translation.¹ I had read somewhere once that translating poems was an important part of the work of a poet and since I find that I get a lot from reading books in languages other than English, I decided to give this another shot.

1. My first translation was one I wrote in a poetry workshop as an undergraduate where I translated one of the prefatory sonnets from Don Quijote.
