Handmade Ezra Pound (Ezruckus Poundamonium) paper doll for a series of skits in which E.P is the main star. --Theresa Williams

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.

I am watching this conversation like a hawk, interest is high.
Hi Theresa,
Yes I do, they are also favorite exhibition spots. I want to create and show art in places where people gather to do essential activities like eating or drinking.
Galleries or museums are ARTificial.
Smiley,

One of my best poems till now, called «In a restaurant in Europe», in Dutch to annoy you all of course!
IN EEN EUROPEES RESTAURANT
voor Simonne
Stoppelhaar en stoppelbaard
Een klein meisje streelt de vallende haren van haar vader
Zo hoop ik toch
Zijn stief- en stoeilief kijkt angstig vermoeidend toe
Verzwakte eendenborst staat vanaf nu elke dag op het menu
Licht valt vakkundig wit op het versleten tentzeil naast de bar
De handen gaan hulpeloos omhoog en onthoofden een hulpeloze kip
uit overgave of vertwijfeling,
wie zal het zeggen?
Zeker niet het beminde kind
De gulzige volwassene nog minder!
Ik bestel een halve liter
rimpelloze rode wijn
Een keffende hond kijkt over mijn bevroren schouder toe
alsof hij Waaslands wolf kan zijn,
een keuze heeft tussen onderduiken of verdwijnen
in de achtertuin van de keuken van ons lijdende bestaan
Het neergeschoten hert heeft bevend
zijn kop tegen de muur geplet,
pleit tevergeefs voor vrede voor
de vele kleffe aardappelen in de moordende oven,
die gaskamer van giechelende groenten
terwijl ik vrij eenzaam het giftige genot
verken van hun pijngeschiedenis, schreeuwend
«Wie niet opspringt als een kreeft, is eraan
voor zijn gedane moeite
van de Oeral tot La Mer du Nord»
Met de lippen van zeewansmaak
proef ik de woede en de armoede
van zowel prei als ui en wortel,
terwijl uit mijn worstelvoeten wortels groeien
om mij wellicht blijvend te verlammen
Een schaterlach gloeit als glimworm
op de monding van mijn mond
Onbeweeglijk zal ik sterven
maar onbewogen nooit
zo orakelt mijn maanlandschap
Terwijl in een heel ander hemellichaam
een zeemeeuw vol overtijging krijst:
WAVES WILL BRING YOU
WHERE YOU FINALLY BELONG!

Flower of evils you mean, bad bad girl!
Here is a new poem by Mark Sonnenfeld with a reference to POE, also Cheryl Penn mailed me a great artist book: when dream and ghost collide, see entry on http://lamusar.blogspot.com
HAHA, okay Theresa, here is your voice
River Down River Spleen
Oh how I miss the eyes of Charles Baudelaire
Received this today from Wilma Duguay in Canada, photos from waves around a poem by John Masefield
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Masefield
Yeah, funny! Simonne loved the SALP. After reading it 2day again I saw this: it is in 3 verses equals 3 voices:
Verse and voice 1: Buzz
Verse and voice 2: Tarantino
Verse and voice 3: Me
Does this add something? NO but it is also FUNNY!!

Hi Theresa,
Nearly all my art is since years the result of automatic creation, so you can use anything you want or like from me, but here is a new one, just to please the heart as lonely hunter:
Small Automatic Love Poem (43 days and nights after she left)
for SP
River Blue River Red
the colors of the night are in your bed
River Dry River Wet
the colors of the day are in the way you cry
River Brown River Green
oh how I miss the colors of her eyes in my bed.
