Belle Lettres: July 2009
http://robertmiltner.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Yesterday morning I went to the local farmers' market in Canton where I live. Many cities have them these days. They provide fresh produce for less than the corporate chains- even if they are unionized- are able to do. Because I wasn't there at the opening hour, the couple I buy from was already sold out of organic vegetables. They had lots of herbs left, but I have those. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Belle Lettres: Reinvention
http://robertmiltner.blogspot.com/2009/06/reinvention.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. Are boundaries fixed or are they moveable? A man crosses a border, moves to a new land, takes up the language. Even his name sounds different in the new tongue. Is he the same man when John becomes Juan, Sean, Ian, or Ivan? Once the world had been mapped, space was the new frontier (. Meaning border). But we can see our own house from space on Google maps. Inside I can reinvent my outside. Interior fashion. Interior make-over. Detailing, glossing, re-naming. View my complete profile.

Belle Lettres: Hope

Thursday, June 11, 2009. A Farewell to Arms:. The Italian Priest (first voice) talking with the American who is an officer in the Italian army:. There are people who would make war.

Belle Lettres: To Begin With
http://robertmiltner.blogspot.com/2009/05/to-begin-with.html
Saturday, May 9, 2009. While this feels like a Dear Diary entry, I begin to blog today. Writing is just that, wherever it occurs. Whatever it says. So: poem, story, novel, article, text, page, word, syntax, punctuation, grammar, thesaurus, notebook, paper scrap, the back of my hand in ink, each is a song it its own way. So I begin with that/this/these. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The Raymond Carver Review. The International Raymond Carver Society. A Year in Haiku.

Belle Lettres: Travel
http://robertmiltner.blogspot.com/2009/06/travel.html
Thursday, June 4, 2009. What is it about travel? The desire for the new? The thrilling alienation that comes from disrupting our routine? I enjoy the rolling panorama of driving, the rush of airplanes on takeoff and looking down at the earth, the ferry leaving the dock and the water dividing at the bow. The sound of voices, the scent in the air (salt water, pine), the surprise of what's new. Carl Sandburg asks, "Where to? Good question. What's the good answer? Get out the atlas and the map. Restaurants&#...

Belle Lettres: Belle Lettres
http://robertmiltner.blogspot.com/2009/05/belle-lettres-beautiful-letters-means.html
Saturday, May 16, 2009. Beautiful letters are more than fonts or calligraphy, though sans serif, old English, castellar, harrington, bradley hand, Bauhaus, Gill sans, goudy stout (draw me a pint), palatino linotype, trajan pro, or the like are all visually lovely. Pieces on literary or intellectual topics. What else would intellectuals do? But specialization has reigned this impulse in (a riding metaphor on a horserace day). Sadly? Still, what is gained from range can be seen in production: hybridity, pa...

Belle Lettres: Hotel Utopia

Saturday, May 9, 2009. I was delighted when I found out that Joseph Cornell, the artist who makes box art, lived on Utopia Freeway. Well of course he did. Shouldn't we all? We are all stars at the Hotel Utopia. June 12, 2009 at 3:33 AM. I will be there! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The Raymond Carver Review.
