LITERATURE and ART

TOP:

Handmade Ezra Pound (Ezruckus Poundamonium) paper doll for a series of skits in which E.P is the main star. --Theresa Williams

MIDDLE:

Automatic writing by Nancy Bell Scott.

BOTTOM:

One of a set of cards made while contemplating the poet Theodore Roethke. On November 12, Roethke suffered the first of what was to be many mental episodes. It happened in the cold Michigan woods, and he described the experience as having a "secret" revealed to him, which he said was the secret of "Nijinsky." Nijinsky was a famous ballet dancer who was institutionalized for schizophrenia. With your permission, I'd like to post your artwork at my blog: The Letter Project. I'm also looking for letters about literature and creativity. All works from the blog have gone through the postal system.

my current audiobook i'm listening to.

i love this author, it's one of those authors it takes quite a while of listening to figure out WTF he is talking about, and even then, you're never quite certain. but the words have a definite aesthetic to them, that ultimately you don't really give a fuck what he's talking about. ;-D

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on July 19, 2011 at 9:32pm: Yesterday was a very great mail-art day for me, highlighted by the Rilke card Theresa has mentioned and a poem of her own. I'm posting here the first image, which is of her folding Rilke card, opened flat so you see the back on the left and the front on the right. For more, please see my blog entry about this at http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/theresa-williams-knocks-my

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on July 17, 2011 at 9:35pm: Superhero, these meticulous and involved takeoffs on book jackets are something else. Really incredible, and a novel idea to begin with.
