poetical distractions/obsessive movement: November 2012

http://abbysugar.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Thursday, November 15, 2012. Water (Sea and River). Currently reading, "Sea and Fog" by Etel Adnan. This made me think of Roni Horn, and her series "Some Thames," repeating photographs of that river. Both are slippery, but sparkling. Adnan's poetry strikes watery, beautiful notes over and over again:. Sea, made of instants chained. Where to shelter impermanence. A threat, for sure. What about the permanent. Particles, of thoughts? In an interview here.

poetical distractions/obsessive movement: October 2011

http://abbysugar.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Suspended Animation / Circular Thought Processes. To be in suspended animation: life processes slowed, without being terminated, by external forces. The process of ideas slowed, without being terminated. The process of making decisions, slowed, without being terminated. I am not sure about the motivation/functioning/forcing. If there is no clear beginning, how to begin in the first place, at the beginning? Or is it just forwa...

poetical distractions/obsessive movement: June 2011

http://abbysugar.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Sunday, June 19, 2011. The Revisionist's Dream II. She dreamed and the dream was of language. She dreamt. Words had yellow wings, had a thousand delicate fingers,. Had big tusks, had balls - that their mutable voices rose. From some distance and carried to her on a blue wind. No. She dreamed of water. She dreamed of a single bright leaf. Tangled in a dark stream. She did. But you can't take. Her literally, and the story changes all the time. There are al...

An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Thursday, April 5, 2012. Day/Poem #5: The Waters of Marah. Excerpts from SOUTH LONDON MIX. From his collection "The Waters of Marah," first published in 2003. Prose poems. And why not? I especially love his use of color. There are rooms,. Rooms leading to further rooms,. Like an endless road. You could lose yourself. I sit with a woman. In a room at night. About poetry. As the night progresses. The room darkens about us,. The air cools. Inside:. The hous...

The Time It Takes to Blog: Happy Before This Decade Is Out Day!

http://timeittakes.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-before-this-decade-is-out-day.html

The Time It Takes to Blog. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Happy Before This Decade Is Out Day! My favorite part of this speech, of course, is the part where he says we're going to the moon. But I am also totally amazed by his humility toward the end where he goes off the page. He admits that "I came to this conclusion with some reluctance," and then closes with this:. That guy was a class act. Still not quite sure what "the other things" are.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Time It Takes to Blog: No Moon

http://timeittakes.blogspot.com/2010/02/no-moon.html

The Time It Takes to Blog. Monday, February 15, 2010. So it's been interesting to watch, in the past couple of weeks, the space enthusiasts of the internet try to express their feelings over Obama's decision to ax the moon project. Was what politicians call an "unfunded mandate." He took credit for the idea and the excitement and left the money for future presidents to beg. Obama calculated that he can't spend the political capital to make Constellation happen, and he's right.

The Time It Takes to Blog: Discovery's last flight

http://timeittakes.blogspot.com/2011/02/discoverys-last-flight.html

The Time It Takes to Blog. Friday, February 25, 2011. Scholars, I'm still knee deep in work on my hugely long essay about the end of the space shuttle era, and as some publications are twitchy about publishing work that has appeared on the internet, I'm not going to take any chances and risk writing some transcendent sentences here that I will then be unable to use in the essay.

The Time It Takes to Blog: Fine, let's go to the moon

http://timeittakes.blogspot.com/2006/06/fine-lets-go-to-moon.html

The Time It Takes to Blog. Saturday, June 03, 2006. Fine, let's go to the moon. Scholars, I'm often asked what I think about NASA's new plan to return to the moon. (Probably people ask this just to be polite.). Offers lots and lots of stuff to help us get psyched about the moon missions. One is a video. In addition to this video, the site also offers some pictures of the vehicles that will be used for this space travel:. Imagine what would happen if you took a time machine back to the sixties and told al...

poetical distractions/obsessive movement: #2: St. Petersburg, Repeating

http://abbysugar.blogspot.com/2012/04/2-st-petersburg-repeating.html

An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Monday, April 2, 2012. 2: St Petersburg, Repeating. WE SHALL MEET AGAIN, IN PETERSBURG. We shall meet again, in Petersburg,. As though we had buried the sun there,. And then we shall pronounce for the first time. The blessed word with no meaning. In the Soviet night, in the velvet dark,. In the black velvet Void, the loved eyes. Of blessed women are still singing,. Flowers are blooming that will never die. The capital hunches like a wild cat,. Something ...
