Saturday, March 22, 2008. Is something of an autoethnographic work. This kind of approach to chronicling culture focuses on a writer's investigation of a culture in which he or she identifies, or is a part of. Is the word of the week! From the Latin verum. Wow, man, that's so. artful. Is a much more probable comment from me while staring at an installation of fluorescent lights above a baby cradle decoupaged in magazine clippings of waif models than " Wow, man, that's so.true!

http://curiousbeautiful.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-beauty.html
Sunday, March 23, 2008. And a poet said, 'Speak to us of Beauty.'. Where shall you seek beauty, and how shall you find her unless she herself be your way and your guide? And how shall you speak of her except she be the weaver of your speech? The aggrieved and the injured say, 'Beauty is kind and gentle. Like a young mother half-shy of her own glory she walks among us.'. At night the watchmen of the city say, 'Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.'. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand s...

http://curiousbeautiful.blogspot.com/2008/03/song-of-soul.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2008. My life's latest (though tiny) pleasure has involved listening to NPR's podcasts of "Poetry Off The Shelf"on small breaks from the pointedly unpoetical reading and writing I've been living and breathing for the past two years. Last night I listened to an interview and readings from Li-Young Lee. A Chinese American poet who was born in exile in Indonesia, emigrating to the United States during the Vietnam War. People have been trying to kill me since I was born,. It’s called...

through the curious eye of a laughing heart: No Free Speech Isn't Stopping the Monks
http://curiousbeautiful.blogspot.com/2008/03/no-free-speech-isnt-stopping-monks.html
Thursday, March 20, 2008. No Free Speech Isn't Stopping the Monks. When Tibetan Buddhist monks organize peaceful protests against the Chinese occupation their country and a hundred Tibetans end up shot dead as a result, with the rest of the Tibetan people under imminent threat of severe punishments "according to law" for harboring protesters ("criminals"), I just don't know how to react. Of course on hearing the news of the crisis in Tibet, I followed links to the website for Students for a Free Tibet.

through the curious eye of a laughing heart: Sundance 2009
http://curiousbeautiful.blogspot.com/2008/03/sundance-2009.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2008. In my nocturnal adventure in the earlier hours of this morning (I'm no longer calling myself an insomniac, since that implies I can't sleep; I suppose nocturnal approaching vampiric is increasingly more appropriate), I was taken by a strikingly fantastic idea: I want to go to the Sundance Film Festival, January 2009! Why did I not realize this is in Utah? To fuel my inspiration I watched some. How did they do that? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Who dares speak aloud the w...
