A Bard's Tale: November 2011
http://sethrasmussen.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. A year in books. I've been getting some good reading done on the bus this year. Among the books I've read and enjoyed:. Mason and Dixon, by Thomas Pynchon. Fresh off this high, I immediately headed right back to the Pynchon shelf at the library and snagged. Gravity's Rainbow, also by Thomas Pynchon. Christmas at the Orphanage by Bill Knott. Edit: Bill Knott is not a prick! See comments for a link to his poems. Dedicated poets should commit some of these to memory. Either you ...

A Bard's Tale: The Japanese Garden
http://sethrasmussen.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-japanese-garden.html
Monday, June 3, 2013. Just finished an essay that I thought I would publish here. Then I thought, wait a minute, I should submit this for publication. So the search is on for a journal, any journal, that will publish a piece called "Lake Shitty Way". Since submitting my essay means I had better not drop it here (yet), I guess I might as well share with you this piece, which was published in Ruckus about a year ago:. This is the hardest I've seen. A frog with a rock on its back. Was it the strange reversal.

A Bard's Tale: May 2012

Monday, May 21, 2012. The Horse has two riders, one facing forward,. One back. Insolent, they stare at each. Other What path did the horse take? In a similar tale, there is a cat. Her assassin possessed with urgent ignorance,. Don't open that box! Ships call to one another off the waterfront,. Not out of loneliness, a ship in love is a wreck. They share a kinship of distance. This is the natural defiance of the river strider,. It falls to the atom to observe itself. Might as well toss it up on the 'ol bl...

A Bard's Tale: Uncle BAM
http://sethrasmussen.blogspot.com/2013/07/uncle-bam.html
Tuesday, July 2, 2013. In the spirit of Independence Day, I'm learning how to make animated gifs. Why? Because I know you all want to watch my friend J frolic in his thuggin' Uncle Sam costume endlessly. Next I'm going to try to lose the watermark, and get this so he goes back and forth. Fingers crossed, folks! There you go. I'm giving up on the watermark, because I have real work to do today as well. Happy birthday, America. NO WAIT ONE MORE-. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pear in a Partridge Tree.

A Bard's Tale: In Progress
http://sethrasmussen.blogspot.com/2012/10/in-progress.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. I haven't been submitting too many poems lately, so why I figure no harm in sharing a piece still very much in progress:. There is a phone call that will change. Your life. No more so and so celebrity. Impersonator for you, oh no. A voice that. Unlocks parts of your brain you didn't. Know existed says calmly "Agent Icarus,. We have a new assignment for you." Click. You live in the future. Are you. Ready for your eyeballs to crackle with. Shut up and create new. Going Back to Work.

A Bard's Tale: Way to Break My Balls, David Foster Wallace
http://sethrasmussen.blogspot.com/2013/09/way-to-break-my-balls-david-foster.html
Thursday, September 26, 2013. Way to Break My Balls, David Foster Wallace. David Foster Wallace hanged himself. There is really no awesome way to talk about this. I was not shocked or upset, and here's why: despite my enrollment in the creative writing program at the University of Washington, I wasn't at the time aware that DFW existed at all. My Introduction to DFW. In 2010 I heard about this book called Infinite Jest. Which I was told I would enjoy. Early in 2012, I was told about it again. I'm oversim...

A Bard's Tale: Phantom Phone Syndrome
http://sethrasmussen.blogspot.com/2013/02/phantom-phone-syndrome.html
Thursday, February 14, 2013. Okay, I don't really have anything to say about phantom phone syndrome. Except that it's obnoxious. Phantom Phone Syndrome is also a horrible headline. I've written headlines on this blog that range from terrible to nothing special. Why do I care what quality of headline it is, anyway? I'll get to that. I rate these headlines as poor, lackluster, inane, or too blatantly bokononist :. Busy, Busy, Busy. Here are some headlines I find more acceptable:. A Year in Books. Awesome I...
