For new books), and I have found some brilliant and unexpected books in these top-notch shops. But I have never been in a bookstore like Strand Bookstore. Here's the small haul:. S Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper. I had great hopes to buy a book of Flannery O'Connor's prose, an Octavia Butler novel, and some literary criticism, but there was j...

Unstable Euphony: Outdoor Adventures (In Reading)
http://unstableeuphony.blogspot.com/2014/03/outdoor-adventures-in-reading.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Outdoor Adventures (In Reading). I've recently finished Cheryl Strayed. Reminded me of my favorite book when I was a kid: Jean Craighead George. S My Side of the Mountain. I used to read My Side of the Mountain. I will likely not reread Wild. At least not anytime soon, even though it was a fun and illuminating read for me. The prospect of rereading simply means that there's another book I'd love to read that will not get read, and right now I can't bear the thought of missing...

Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Some Thoughts on The First 4 Books of Sampson Starkweather - Part 2: King of the Forest. From the epigraph (13 startling lines from Jack Spicer) to the final poem in this four-part book, Starkweather consistently strands us between appearance and reality:. Part i. City of Moths. I believe in scarecrows. They're more / convincing than people and much less frightening.". We have words for words.". Grass is merely an idea here. It was not always this / way.". But Starkweather tu...

Saturday, November 10, 2012. Poetry and Seinfeld and Community. One of the features that makes Jerry Seinfeld so funny is one of the same features that makes poetry such a pleasurable art. Seinfeld makes us laugh by talking about everyday things to which most everyone can relate, but about which few people would think to talk: close-talkers, forgetting where the car is parked, puffy shirts, and, of course, shrinkage. When the cast of Seinfeld. There was the promise of. Pressed in gold,. Most everyone can...

http://unstableeuphony.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. Here's what I'm reading as the clock turns over into another year:. David Foster Wallace on water. In lieu of a best of list, I thought I'd just pass along this relatively short meditation from Wallace. I hope everyone enjoys and lives well in 2013! Friday, December 28, 2012. I'm no photographer or even picture taker by any stretch of the imagination, but I snapped these photos of an awesome butterfly back in the fall and wanted to share them before 2012 comes to an end:.

Unstable Euphony: Some Thoughts on The First 4 Books of Sampson Starkweather - Part 5: Self Help Poems
http://unstableeuphony.blogspot.com/2014/02/some-thoughts-on-first-4-books-of_26.html
Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Some Thoughts on The First 4 Books of Sampson Starkweather - Part 5: Self Help Poems. In light of, or perhaps making light of, its title, the fourth and final book of The First 4 Books of Sampson Starkweather. Contains very little of the prescriptive language common to most self help books. Instead, these poems raise questions, trade on ambiguity, and withhold closure, all the while pushing us toward an unexpected hope. It's 89 degrees and I'm packing everything I own into my.
