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 June 17, 2012 at 11:12pm: Small Automatic Island Poem

For Rebecca Guyver

It is as simple as the color blue:

the isle hides in the lonely heart

without any saftey belts.

Have a safe drive

& enjoy your stay,

the hostess said.

What about that loud laughter?

I asked with a soft icecream smile.

Oh, that’s just the water

around the fish.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on June 15, 2012 at 6:14pm: I think that the Buddha here is defending the market against those who only want the mountain summit but maybe that is my reading!

Thanks for the quote, inspires me for a collage!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on June 15, 2012 at 2:30am: I need to move out of this resort town where I live. And like your outlook, Guido.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on June 15, 2012 at 12:57am: Silence? Often I appreciate it but it is not necessary for creation.

With silence you only listen to your own inner voices, in a room full of noisy people you integrate the feedback of sounds, smells, images, views and so on.

Nature inspires me, people inspire me, sounds and smell and viual impressions inspire me more than remaining in my silent quiet corner.
