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.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on April 17, 2012 at 1:46am: Collage with painted fragments around the JACKAL poem by David Stone

Fragment:
«Proof,» said the jackal,
«I am turning in my chart,
ready to resign.»

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on April 17, 2012 at 1:42am: Thanks Theresa and Nancy,

Uploaded scanned stone on LAMUSAR connected with this poem.

First title was Astronomy Lesson but I found this 2 pompous, so now it is just «About...»

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on April 16, 2012 at 12:43pm: I like that poem very much too, Guido.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on April 15, 2012 at 11:57pm: About a single stone

listen to the silence of the earth

keep quiet when you open

the mouth of seasons because

the distance has no importance at all ...

entered the Museum of Temporary Art on: 15.07.2007 Le printemps arriva , je terminais Le livre des rois chap17 , des corbeaux amenèrent à manger à Elie avant son départ chez la veuve Sarepta ; le lendemain matin des corbeaux tournaient autour du toit et , je vis dans un coin de la cour un beau morceau de gateau ( sans doute échappé à un bec pendant son transport ) . Deux trois semaines après il y avait un oeuf à la même place , là ou le matin un merle venait rafouiller dans la mousse . J'étais décidé à couver l'oeuf dans ma poche le temps voulu . Malheureusement en déplacant une poutre je sentis quelque chose de gluant dans la poche de mon pantalon , "OH! non ! pas à ton age !" mais c'était l'oeuf d'oiseau ! quelle déconfiture , une oeuvre encore ratée !
