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 September 24, 2012 at 10:31am: Collage followed by a new poem for Cheryl:

Dear Cheryl,

One could imagine

being caught

in an African time frame

of an ancient dance

between rock and fire

Also

One could imagine

a desert where there was no

desert

And Also

One could imagine

the desert as a beheaded hydrocephalus

waiting with geological patience

for the return of the floods.
