Wm Blake « Raleigh Rambles
https://raleighrambles.wordpress.com/william-blake
John Dancy-Jones at large! Ray Johnson and the NY Correspondance School. William Blake, watercolour portrait by John Linnell; in the National Portrait Gallery, London. William Blake represents the wild, idiosyncratic thread of English literature that makes it so much fun. He was beloved but not renowned while alive, self-published for the most part, and magnificently entangled in a generalist fusion of many arts. I love him. Much more to come. Raleigh Rambles is under construction! Enter your comment here.

John Dancy-Jones at large! Ray Johnson and the NY Correspondance School. This is the guy that introduced me to metacognition, which led me to epistemology and so much more. I read his work in Professor Fritz Hafer’s anthropology class at UNC. More than any sixties rhetoric or philosophy, this man’s ideas about human culture made me believe the world really was getting ready for a huge sea change. Bateson and his partner, Margaret Mead. Google’s Steps to an Ecology of the Mind. 1 Comment ». Continuing the...

Skylines « Raleigh Rambles
https://raleighrambles.wordpress.com/skylines
John Dancy-Jones at large! Ray Johnson and the NY Correspondance School. Raleigh’s skyline is changing and maturing. Growing up roaming the downtown streets, I have come to miss very much the architectural gems that I took for granted at the time. But I have a fair amount of civic pride (a lot for an old christian anarchist, anyway) in watching Raleigh become a true city. Old and new, here’s what has caught my eye. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
