solo&ragtime jubilee

It's about poetry that works the head and makes all the right sounds. I post what I like to read and hear read. If you see it here, I've probably spent some time speaking it out loud to myself, so I suggest you do the same. I love this body, this solo & ragtime jubilee behind the left nipple, because I know I was born to wear out at least one hundred angels. --from "Anodyne," Yusef Komunyakaa

“The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us? When we begin to take the lowest place, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion, which led to the cross, then we can truly say, ‘Now I have begun.’”

~Dorothy Day

Here’s an extended version of Ms. Day’s quotation from Loaves and Fishes.

Three years ago I believed whites and blacks were equal in the United States. I believed that slavery was abolished and racism went both ways. I disagreed with affirmative action and I thought black people who didn’t make it out didn’t want to make it out.

I was so very wrong.

Today my heart is...

Though my colleague can’t imagine why anyone would dare try to cover this GNR classic, I can’t resist. I love covers for the exact reason that songs are meant for interpretation. Meet Miche Braden and friends with this very sweet version.

Here’s a comic I made a long time ago and never published. The text is from the introduction to A New Queer Agenda by Joseph N. DeFilippis.
