Ashes :: Ghosts :: Rubies: Vignette

http://ashesghostsrubies.blogspot.com/2011/04/vignette.html

Thursday, April 7, 2011. Have a Nice Day! Next to this, a handwritten one reads: "THE HATERS ARE TRYING TO KILL ME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DAY.". The man has wispy balding grey hair and coke-bottle glasses. He is tall and lanky and his clothes are worn but intact. If anyone here is homeless or hungry, please help yourself to food and drink," he exclaims. Nobody helps themselves. Presumably getting wind of the laughing teenagers, he stops just before the door and exclaims, "You know what? We don't need...

http://ashesghostsrubies.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. The Next Big Thing. So I have taken this here blog out of digital mothballs to participate in a self-interview project that Jenn McCreary of Ixnay Press "tagged" me for. So I plied myself with liquor, gave myself some obligatory compliments and went to it. What is the working title of the book? Since I was tagged by Jenn McCreary. I will refer to the chapbook Allsorts. Which will be published by her & Chris McCreary’s very own Ixnay Press. What genre does your book fall under?

Published in 2008 by Otioliths, is definitely the work of an archivist, and fascinating in its organic unison of these two paradigms. Is, for the most part, a book of "conventional" (I use this term as though it has any real meaning), "poems," it is also tied explicitly to an actual object,. View all my reviews.

Ashes :: Ghosts :: Rubies: April 2011

http://ashesghostsrubies.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 8, 2011. Poetry and Death: Part 1. Remembering Paul Violi. Remembering John Wieners:. Delightfully garrulous yet a blowhard. Hilariously boorish yet a lout. Exquisitely devious yet untrustworthy. Artfully obsequious yet weepy and goveling. Explosively disagreeable yet a sore loser. Provocatively inarticulate yet mute. Like a demented child yet worrisome. Mordant, venomous yet in an overly critical way. Surprisingly obtuse yet unable to make fine distinctions. A ne'er-do-well but unhygenic.

All taxonomy is relative and arbitrary and therefore the only functional lexicon is a plastic one. Elizabeth Bryant has provided just such a nebulous dictionary in her recent (Nevertheless Enjoyment. Translated necessarily incompletely as "nevertheless enjoyment.". However coated it may before you emerge within it. Likewise adumbrated ...

Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Sleeping with Typing Wild Speech. What separates Typing Wild Speech from a merely detailed memoir, apart from an overall lack of concern with narrativity—nobody’s “telling a story” here—is the intensely physical way whereby Ward bridges the vast space existing between himself and the reader. We literally see through Ward’s eyes”. Regarding this, I cannot express any better than Ward himself:. Some writers claim an important distinction. They are not ‘a poet’ but &#8...Like Gerrit L...

Ashes :: Ghosts :: Rubies: Caesura: Sherlock Holmes, Part 1

http://ashesghostsrubies.blogspot.com/2011/04/caesura-sherlock-holmes-part-1.html

Tuesday, April 5, 2011. Caesura: Sherlock Holmes, Part 1. Doyle embraces fully the Industrial Revolution and the new religion of the scientific dynamo, as well as a few even less savory then-contemporary intellectual, such as physiognomy. He seems to occasionally lampoon the British caste system, occasionally will handle a female character semi-progressively and Holmes on occasion will act of his own accord in abeyance of British law, but apart from this he is essentially stodgy and Apollonian. This is a...

Saturday, April 2, 2011. Poetry and Architecture: Part 1. In Walter Gropius's manifesto for the Bauhaus, he stated that ". The ultimate aim of all creative activity is a building! Is still a LARGE work, even though it occupies no space whatsoever. What of exterior and interior? Of yestertempest’s creases; in pool and rut peel parches. Squandering ooze to squeezed ' dough, crust, dust; stanches, starches. Squadroned masks and manmarks ' treadmire toil there. Of all things to eat: dirty. It is this very co...
