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 taidgh on May 18, 2013 at 2:59pm: I most certainly will take photos at the Dublin Zine Fair. I would definitively recommend you go to a zine fair. Lots of fun!

Comment by taidgh on May 17, 2013 at 9:09pm: That's great to hear Theresa. I'll be looking forward to it. I'm going to have to get a few more zines done soon as the Dublin Zine Fair will be on in August. I'm working on something for Pandora at the moment, though my project has hit a slight snag as I can't find my watercolour paints anywhere. If only I could put a GPS on my art supplies as they go on walkabout quite often.

Comment by taidgh on May 16, 2013 at 2:32pm: Great to see my poem here. I'm going to have to get some more poems out to both of you - Carina and Theresa.

Comment by Carina on May 14, 2013 at 8:37am: Love in Sleep, a poem by Taidgh!

Comment by Rebecca Guyver on May 13, 2013 at 1:13am: Oh I thought I posted something here but I must not have pressed add. I was knocked out by that post. So much so that I commented there (timidly).

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 12, 2013 at 10:47pm: Glad you could take a look,Theresa. TC's knowledge & experience is vast. He should write an autobiography. After having read "Why I am not a Painter" X1000 I did not know "Sardines" was a real painting. My lame. Live and learn. Marie and Frank: sardines & oranges for sure.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 12, 2013 at 7:40pm: I am fairly sure we had an extended discussion about Frank O'Hara's poem "Why I am not a Painter" in this group. Today Tom Clark's "Beyond the Pale" addressed this topic with work by Marie Wintzer, no less.

Most readers coming upon it ask, "Who is Mike Goldberg?" There's some background info on this at BTP. Well, Mike Goldberg was an abstract expressionist painter for sure.
