Saturday, January 15, 2005. This writing needs to happen daily if it's to have the healthful benefits I know it can have. I realize that I dismissed Language Poetry too much out of hand last post. Having slept on it I figured that I'd log on and point to some of its virtues, but it's not that kind of noontime; I've been frustrated with most of the poetry I've been reading this morning, which is the first half of James Merrill's Late Settings,. Posted by Wil at 11:58 AM. Monday, January 10, 2005. Solipsis...

Saturday, February 26, 2005. Eugene, Portland, Eugene, Portland, Eugene. The above shuttling over the past two days has given me means to think about the whole prospect of Post-post. See also Marjorie Perloff's "Postmodernism / 'fin de sicle'". Perloff asks. "Why not "*A* Postmodern Condition? At least w/r/t its efficacy as a guiding principle in the composition of poetry, and in a larger sense too as an aesthetic capable (which I'm beginning to feel it is not). Someone remind me to get back to poetry...

Thursday, January 27, 2005. Nothing's safe in your stars. There's only so much time in a day, and some of it must be budgeted toward holding court with the people you care about. I don't do it enough. Now, of course, I enter the weekend with the same amount of work. If you buy into the theory that a sestina's endwords need to be distributed chosen according to some inherent associations between them - as in Bishop's "A Miracle Before Breakfast" wherein we get the natural words of. Coffee, crumb,. Monday,...

Thursday, February 10, 2005. The machine I am. Is a grading machine. A thresher of student papers. A great unstoppable mill for which these 12 essays are mere and easily-processed grist. So to work. But first, I'm glad to report my return to relative health, and my return to the composition of poems. A 2 day break from writing poems, in my world, amounts to years. Who's adapted the traditional blank verse setup to his unique and stylized dialect. After him, I'd best get me back to my McGrath. A) continue...

Thursday, February 03, 2005. A break in the clouds. Metaphorically of course. Eugenian morning fog continues for what must be a record umpteenth day. Last night I received the first rejection of this whole new "real job" stage of life. Carney Sandoe, a sort of caseworker-based clearinghouse for teaching candidates, didn't consider me sellable enough to take my case. Which would. O that time I first kissed Kristin, who'd been riffing on the need to seize the day, which I did;. O the Lascaux cave painters;.

Saturday, March 12, 2005. End of Love," Clem Snide. New York City-based alt-country shoegazers Clem Snide haven't scored a spot on any of Wes Anderson's soundtracks, but it's only a matter of time; Anderson's clever, fey portrayals of life in boarding school, Hamilton Heights, or the South Pacific would align well with frontman Eef Barzelay's strummy, incomparable wit. There's another overlap between their oeuvre and Anderson's: just as some faulted Anderson's. Posted by Wil at 10:43 AM. 3) Pink Floyd (.

Saturday, March 05, 2005. Saturday, March 5th, 2005. Was epicly lazy today. 2 1/4 episodes of L&O: SVU. Highlight was taking a walk around the neighborhood with a book, Bugs Bunnyishly reading from a book as I went (not. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. What I miss most about the city are the angels / and the bars of Manhattan." and "Whatever compelled us / to suspend the body of our dreams from poetry's slender reed? If you happened to take the GRE Saturday, remember that you did better than you think you did.

Thursday, February 17, 2005. I don't get sick often, but when I do, it's. This one for instance settled into my system on Super Bowl Sunday, hit its nadir on the following Wednesday-Thursday, and since then -. Ie for the entire week previous to this moment in time, Thursday, 10:10 am -. I've been harrumphing up the "last" of the sickness. At any rate, I've returned to previous levels of capability and haleness. Posted by Wil at 10:08 AM. Your friendly neighborhood DJ. This book isn't bad. I found it on.

Saturday, January 22, 2005. Hecht, Wright, Simic. Hecht's a fine metrist, no doubt. See here:. As from some attic of my youth. I gaze out at the distances. That contrast renders almost white,. Like frocks of garden-party girls. I once knew or desired to know. From "A Love for Four Voices". Hecht in a larger sense is a valuable poet to read for the way he melds tradition with modern subjects and conditions. "Humoresque," also from The Transparent Man,. Is a fine example of this:. This quality of Hecht's v...
