HG Poetics: Literary contests and The Contest
http://hgpoetics.blogspot.com/2015/07/literary-contests-and-contest.html
Henry Goulds poetry and poetics. Write me : henryhgould@gmail.com. Literary contests and The Contest. He was something of an outsider for a long time (his whole life). I guess I can identify with that. My own changeful, discombobulated, nomadic life of late (back and forth on U.S. 80 between Providence and Minneapolis) has somewhat dislocated me from my own patterns of self-confidence, you might say. I am out of the library where I lived as a quiet squirrel for 30 years. It's good (I hope). I was right i...

Henry Goulds poetry and poetics. Write me : henryhgould@gmail.com. For some reason, not sure why, a few weeks ago I started immersing myself in anthropology. Books on human prehistory, ancient kingship, ritual. Reading Sir James Frazer, am Hocart, Rene Girard, Walter Burkert, Saul Bellow's Henderson the Rain King. Very interesting novel), many other things. Burkert and Girard both published their seminal works (Girard, Violence and the Sacred. Burkert, Homo Necans. Edited by Burton Mack, which is a sympo...

http://hgpoetics.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-illustrated-stubborn-grew.html
Henry Goulds poetry and poetics. Write me : henryhgould@gmail.com. The Illustrated Stubborn Grew stubbornly persists. Finished tour of Stubborn Grew. Part one yesterday. On to the second half of the book. To my knowledge this online survey of a long poem is fairly unique. I'm not aware of similar examples.

HG Poetics: November 2014
http://hgpoetics.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Henry Goulds poetry and poetics. Write me : henryhgould@gmail.com. Simone and Maximus and me. The French writer/philosopher/mystic Simone Weil appealed to me in the mid-1980s (still does). Ascetic worker/dreamer; deep Biblical exegete. I remember walking down to Seward's Folly. I adore that woman - but sometimes I want to grab her by the shoulders and give her a good shake! It meant something to me; I could identify with it. I'd been there. This is all by way of a lead-in to a second writer who (like Osi...

Henry Goulds poetry and poetics. Write me : henryhgould@gmail.com. An Ordinary Evening in Minneapolis. By James Baird (a study of Stevens' architectonic tectonics). Stevens himself, unsurprisingly, encapsulated my problem for me. As he put it in one of his Adagia. The exterior world what it will. This is the "modern" ( Cogito ergo sum). But my own mind and imagination have always seemed to trend in a counter-direction. Stevens' imaginative "dome" is like the under-layer or the photo-negative of the f...

Henry Goulds poetry and poetics. Write me : henryhgould@gmail.com. Jesus Thoughts in Elkhart. I'm passing through Elkhart once again, writing this from motel. This is Amish country. The Elkhart visitor center is across the street; they have an exhibit of quilts there. Turns out both quilts and quilt gardens are a tradition in Elkhart county. (There is something quilt-like about Ravenna Diagram. What's more, I'm not sure I actually have. Anything new to say about Jesus. But we will try. An author has a wo...
