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.

IN ANCIENT DREAMS


 there were no colors

  so I thought

   till I realized

    that black, white and in between

     were a spectrum of mighty

       colors belonging

         to ancient times,

           they were part of

              my pre-history.

When will I see them again?

Probably in

my after-history ...

PICTURE POEM FOR ROD, large painted envelope for Rod Summers

Nabij de zee sterft de vogel in een kooi van wolken, water en lucht.

Near the sea the bird dies in a cage of clouds, water and air. (GV)

Automatic poem around mail art from Sherry Harmes and Zois (USA)

 Inside the whirlpool
  my breath does not feel lost
   I feel one with the species
    of the universe surrounding sun and moon
Inside the water
my birthday became fish
looking for shells and pebbles
and the tickling of tad-poles
Inside the tree
I felt the egg of time
and I knew I was ready to die
fearless and in peace.
Guido Vermeulen, July 2012
