Faulkner & Fieldnotes

Reading & Writing | Poetry | Literature | Art | Music | Philosophy | Consciousness | Symbology | Semantics | I started on a journey from Faulkner, to Rumi, Nietzsche, van Gogh, Dostoevsky, and (one day) myself.

#NowPlaying Astronaut by Gregory Alan Isakov I work mornings in the old yard Digging in the ground But I moonlight as an astronaut Mostly just sit around and howl Won't you come to my house tonight We could sleep on the floor I got this window that looks out to Orion I paid extra for Oh forget about the sun He's forgotten us by now Kiss me so I remember how We'll turn these sorrows into strangers Buy them a ticket on the train Drop 'em off at the station Watch 'em ride far away Far away...

#NowPlaying Wintergloves by Coco Méliès winter gloves on paling summers gone and you echo.........along distress on the walls cuz memories are loud while they echo.......... as the cold runs through the holes you've made Wind's tickling your nose as you reach for those who echoes.....along poems for drifters stacking solid ground as she echoes...... till the tail of the storm i will lay in snow till im the dawn

We've been there before and I'm fairly sure we'll find a clearing in the forest of our hearts. This year we need a deeper frost, me and my meadowlark, under the winter's fears, out where the tree line stops, down on the north slope, down to the creek. Hold tight til Spring.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what i means to want to escape from these things."

~ from “Tradition & the Individual Talent” by T.S. Eliot (1919)

#NowPlaying "What's Underneath" by Firewoodisland from Ild

So many conversations. Whose the loud mouths: whose beaking, barking, squawling and squawking at what, at what? The moon? The clouds? The change in weather? Whether or not, the wind winding time,/:; talk, talk, talk: the utter heartbreaking stupidity of words "Tiny trophies reft from time & space" ~ William Faulkner once said something along the lines

Hello, new friends: Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova; e e cummings' I: six nonlectures; Kahlil Gibran's Prophet; Rumi's Masnavi; Selected Poems of Ezra Pound; Gilles Deleuze's What is Philosophy?; Gerard Manley Hopkins' Poems & Prose; Martin Heidegger's What is Called Thinking? Welcome. I'm not in school anymore right now, so I've got to design my own courses, so to speak. This is like a fine, fine meal.

Most days, and there are always reasons to smile.

Tiny explanations: Poland's flag; Oxford, Mississippi book store Square Books' little way of letting me carry away memories from a visit; various handwritten notes dreamily copied in college of Faulkner and craft books; and what I kind of look like.
