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.

Large painted envelope based on the POWER poem by Gregory Corso

His B-day is 26 March 26

Poem dedicated to fellow Beat poet Allen Ginsburg, B-day: 3 June

Quote:

Since I observe memory and dream

and not the images of the moment

I am become more vivant

and need not to open the eye to see

With me light is always light

How powerful I am to imagine darkness!
