The line i crossed. Experiment in progress …. Laquo; forgive me no more (revised, in need of a better title). Policing a racial order. April 14, 2010 by thelineicrossed. At one of the intersections at the university I attend, there is a sign that says, “Think! Accidents are avoidable.”. I frantically turned the laptop upside down, hoping the water would exit it as quickly as it entered, and made a dash for the restroom of the coffee shop to run my terribly burned wrist under cold water. Thanks for the re...

I recently went to practice meditation for a weekend at Deer Park–a monastery in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. In this tradition, everything from eating to working to walking is a chance to connect with your breath and practice mindfulness. There are also teachings called “Dharma Talks.”. PS Here’s a link to the eulogy. I wrote for Aimee. You are comme...

On the back porch of a house in Detroit:. A breeze stirs from time to time, cutting through the June air. It catches the wind chime. I close my eyes and hear: clinking glasses, the hum of a Tibetan singing bowl still carrying on after contact. The sun lights up the leaves at the top of a young tree. Poor magazine sc...

All Hook, No Chorus--Sara Jaffe: February 2011
http://allhooknochorus.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The Condition of Being Addressable- A Response to Claudia Rankine at AWP. The following is a response to a “performance of sorts” (her words) that Claudia Rankine gave on February 4, 2011, at the AWP conference in Washington, DC. I took some notes, but not as many as I’d have liked, so know that much of this is recollection and paraphrase. Thanks to Tisa Bryant for filling in some gaps in her smart and moving response. This is what it means to be alive. Was she the “big, black girl”? She contacted Hoagla...

All Hook, No Chorus--Sara Jaffe: June 2010
http://allhooknochorus.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Earlier, I remembered when I was in high school and went to see the movie Higher Learning. I keep slipping up and thinking High Art. Did I actually turn around and say something? I wrote an editorial in my school paper. What was it about? I started writing this to tell this story and now I realize that the specifics have all emptied out. I hadn’t written for the school paper before. Had I? Sometime after I saw the movie I got the soundtrack and listened to “ Don’t Have Time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

All Hook, No Chorus--Sara Jaffe: On Restalgia, In Romgret
http://allhooknochorus.blogspot.com/2010/10/on-restalgia-in-romgret.html
On Restalgia, In Romgret. My good friend Sara Marcus just put out a book called Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution. That path is steep and picks up momentum. Why wasn’t I five years older and living in Olympia in 1991? And, for that matter, why wasn’t I 20 years older and part of the downtown New York writers’ scene in the late 70s? A queer activist in the 80s? What’s new now, at 33, is that this romanticizing/regret (“romgret”? At Wesleyan; 949 Market. I talked about romgret...

From James Purdy's The Nephew. As they talked to one another in the dark, it even seemed to them that they were living their entire lives all at once, and were in command of their total personalities. Friends and relatives long dead entered into their conversation, and the hard implacable void of contemporaneity was dissipated. One could, so to speak, see land, breathe air. The night had lifted from night.". 8221; = “ Take Five. Does that influence still show up without your realizing it? For those of us...
