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 July 18, 2012 at 12:31am: Postcard from Serse Luigetti 2day, on Marcelleke PROUST

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on July 18, 2012 at 12:30am: Thanks Theresa, received your Baudelaire as rag picker piece 2day, stunning, showed it to friends in the Grelha; I always take my mail there during lunch break.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on July 17, 2012 at 1:45am: Automatic text during Sunday lunch at Grelha restaurant, reconstructing this since then and it is really not that IEZIE!!!

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on July 14, 2012 at 4:25pm: Some joking collages and photos on surrealism and the rows between the Belgians and the French pope Breton, quite fun 2 do in fact. In the same process I reclaimed my own role in history, modesty is the acid of power, according to Ensor James who identified himself with christ as martyr...

Use tag or label of surrealism for quick search

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on July 12, 2012 at 12:12am: Very nice Rebecca!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on July 12, 2012 at 12:11am: This was one of the 1st automatic poems I wrote ages ago [I had been reading a lot of Surrealism, particularly Soupault & Breton's seminal auto. text, "Les Chants Magnétiques," Eng. trans.,: "The Magnetic Fields"] ::

chora

(after Breton & Julia Kristeva)

i imagine as sincere & complex as body–

envelopes to the head.

Comment by Rebecca Guyver on July 11, 2012 at 9:16pm: So here is the automatic writing I sent to Cheryl (nearly De Villo). Cheryl received it so I think Theresa has asked that we post it here. Is it interesting to anyone else? I have been so busy lately that I haven't managed to carve out any writing or reading time, so it's interesting (for me) to revisit this. I am no nearer to cracking Cheryl's zine pages but ploughing through my list and see a copse of peace nearby. Hurrah! Love seeing Guido and John Bennett's collaboration and more!.
