Dreamers Rise: American Nightmares

http://dreamersrise.blogspot.com/2015/06/american-nightmares.html

Sunday, June 28, 2015. A friend of mine recommended this volume of short stories, by an author whose name was unknown to me, and although I'm perhaps not the easiest person to suggest books to she hit the money on this one. Maybe she just knew that "lake" and "monster" are a combination I can't resist. North American Lake Monsters. Is available from Small Beer Press. Ballingrud has published one other book, a novella entitled The Visible Filth,. Which is published by This Is Horror. Roger Martin du Gard.

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Odd, off, oft, old. The artist and printmaker Annie Bissett. Has discovered this wonderful bit of found poetry, which she has posted on her Tumblr blog. Adapted from Thomas Dilworth's A New Guide to the English Tongue,. An oft-reprinted 18th-century schoolbook, it reproduces part of a table of "Words of Three Letters, viz. One Vowel and two Consonants.". Although it may not be immediately apparent, there is a logical order to the table. It is alphabetized first by last. Which is ...

Dreamers Rise: Americans (III)

http://dreamersrise.blogspot.com/2015/07/americans-iii.html

Sunday, July 26, 2015. This photograph may be the pivot of the collection. The image itself has some unusual features (which I'll note shortly), but its greatest interest may lie in the fact that it exists at all, and in how it relates to the other photos. There is a seriousness and tenderness to the image that suggests this might have been the case, but maybe there's another explanation. Be that as it may, we can now start to assemble a series of pieces of evidence:. So the pivotal questions are 1) can ...

Dreamers Rise: May 2015

http://dreamersrise.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 24, 2015. Notes for a commonplace book (15). The same motives and similar destinies existed still; but these people whose playgrounds they had been were gone. Nothing came back from the oblivion into which they had vanished (for old age and death were equally oblivion) not a sound came back but a little slightly exultant, unhappy laughter — Alwyn's grandmother laughing for them. Friday, May 22, 2015. Notes for a commonplace book (14). Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Armed with a Broken Heart. As melod...

Dreamers Rise: November 2014

http://dreamersrise.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 30, 2014. At first glance, Ana María Matute's 1960 novel Primera memoria. Seems much of a piece with the narratives with which she ended her career some five decades later, Paraíso inhabitado. And the unfinished Demonios familiares. Written and published in the dead years of the Franco era, is a very different, much more troubling tale. 8212; where, centuries earlier, the Inquisition had burnt the island's unconverted Jews. The descendents of the conversos,. Though she had a long and suc...

Dreamers Rise: Americans (II)

http://dreamersrise.blogspot.com/2015/07/americans-ii.html

Saturday, July 25, 2015. The images in this post include some of the earliest photographs from the group. All are studio photographs, and three come from Franklin County in the south-central portion of the state of Tennessee. The badly faded but haunting portrait at the top of this page, which is in the carte de visite format, was taken by Rufus B. Williams of Winchester, Tennessee. The reverse of the mount is shown below. At first glance the studio where the cabinet card below was taken is unidentified,...
