A Small Needful Fact Is that Eric Garner worked for some time for the Parks and Rec. Horticultural Department, which means, perhaps, that with his very large hands, perhaps, in all likelihood, he put gently into the earth some plants which, most likely, some of them, in all likelihood, continue to grow, continue to do what such plants do, like house and feed small and necessary creatures, like being pleasant to touch and smell, like converting sunlight into food, like making it easier for us to breathe.

"for women who are 'difficult' to love."

you are a horse running alone and he tries to tame you compares you to an impossible highway to a burning house says you are blinding him that he could never leave you forget you want anything but you you dizzy him, you are unbearable every woman before or after you is doused in your name you fill his mouth his teeth ache with memory of taste his body just a long shadow seeking yours but you are always too intense frightening in the way you want him unashamed and sacrificial he tells you that no man can live up to the one who lives in your head and you tried to change didn't you? closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do love split his head open? you can't make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love.

I only wish to emphasize, with the utmost fervor, how important it is for a young artist to delay ‘’professionalism’’ as long as possible. Find some way to give yourself a chance – and time – to experiment, take risks, play, fool around, even fail, before trying to launc a career. Show your work only to a few devoted friends. Art schools should be a congenial site for this kind of engagement, and sometimes they are. But, as I have frequently found, art schools also tend to serve as launching pads for careers by fostering the same emphasis on polish and completion that one finds in the art world. Challenge yourself with what ‘’doesn’t work.’’ Know your sources and what influences show up in your work. Don’t worry about originality, but be self-critical, and find ways to accept and deliver supportive criticism among your peers. Don’t get hung up on creature comforts. They can come later. Try to see everything. From what I can observe of younger artists today, those who are most positive about the state of the art world have banded togheter to form their own cooperatives, for exhibitions well as living and working arrangement. You need one another as never before. Best of luck, Yvonne Rainer New York
