this tab has been open since June 2019, evidently from search for “sideways glance” (?). returned now (27 February 2020), as an answer to question about concrete (or “visual”) poetry — why make it, when one can find it?

“I detested school,” he [Clive Cussler] told Publishers Weekly in 1994. “I was always the kid who was staring out the window. While the teacher was lecturing on algebra, I was on the deck of a pirate ship or in an airplane shooting down the Red Baron.” — Robert D. McFadden, “Clive Cussler, Best-Selling Author and Adventurer, Is Dead at 88,” The New York Times, February 27, 2020 : A27

from the book Dear Aram Saroyan,

"Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand. By using the technique of embroidery, traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of it’s opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that ‘women’s work’ is light and easy. Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid ancillary jobs such as cleaning, caring, and catering, all traditionally considered to be ‘women’s work’."

Eartha Kitt teaching James Dean how to dance, early 1950s Photo by Dennis Stock. “[James Dean] said to me, ‘I want to move like you, can you teach me how to move my body like you do on stage?’ And I told him where to meet me, here in New

York and that’s where we met for dance classes. And that’s where Jamie and I always met downstairs from that studio to have coffee, to have our little tete-a-tete conversations.” “He was like my brother. He had something in him that he didn’t understand. He wanted to learn from me how to move on the stage the way I do, so I taught him how to control his body and how to let the words physically carry you from this point to that point. I was in a play and he’d just done his first film so we were both becoming known at that time. It was a good time.” -Eartha Kitt
