This just in from our prolific Mediterranean goddess--Blue Summer Mail Art:

And staples and red and white boats too. Can't you just feel that water? Thanks, Katerina!

Let’s not waste 2 much time on Mon Sieur Yves! The attrocities in the Congo were reported by the Brits (Roger Casement, who was Irish and who was later executed by the UK because he tried to make a deal with the Germans to free Ireland from their rule during WW 1, see one of the latest novels of Vargas Llosa). Intersting is that in the footsteps of Casment followed Arthur Conan Doyle (yes, the writer of Sherlock Holmes): he backed the stories of Casement and published even a more gritty book, with photos to match evidences!

The horror, the horror of the Congo was translated in Conrad’s novel HEART OF DARKNESS which was translated again in Apocalypse Now, and so on, und so weiter... I could publish photos here but man, let’s have some sleep without 2 many nighty mares for once!

Hahaha, ERNI, why would I want that the king hears poetry? Maybe on July 14 to remember him the French did a better job than the Belgians?!

Or to remember him the ghosts of Leopold II?? Who cut off the hands and feet of adults and little children in the Congo to force them to harvest rubber for the benefit of the car industry in the Western world?! I am defriending Yves M, he is a waiste of my time and an insult to my heart and empathy for the oppressed people in past and present times!

Okay, back to art and poetry now; made a new collage that is clearly inspired by the interaction with the Arab girls

Erni, why the hell do you think that this needs to be amplified?

I am NOT saying here GET REAL, what I am really saying here is GET YOUR OWN IMAGINATION or IMAGINE, the little girls seemed to understand this, so why don’t YOU. sir?

ALL POWER TO THE LITTLE CHILDREN (not teens, the danger of fascism is 2 big !!!)

Bifidus, I left the space to play for the kids and did not want to interrupt or interfere their games.

But it is ON my mind to return there when the fun fair starts (15 July till 15 August) and then just SHOUT some of my own poems in several tongues...

How wonderful, Guido! Did you recite your poetry too?

SCULPTURE TO SHOUT POETRY, performance with a little help of 2 Arab girls, the dad was a bit sceptic but did not mind, special moment in Brussels this afternoon!

Erni Bar Feeding Art to the World:

But what does "Ill Ballin" mean? The colors pink and yellow will always remind me of Erni's work and I love the reliable haptic feel of every piece. Check out the envelope here folks. Erni's mail art did indeed go off scene to India before arriving at my place:

Erni also sent me a copy of BILD ZEITUNG, one of Germany's tabloids. I don't understand a lot of it but I'm having fun looking through it. Danke Herr Werewolf!

That is one mighty big gob of haptic poetry there, Marcela!
