Poetry Friday - 17
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 04, 2008 (13:00:15)
Link!It's a lovely summer's day here - bright sunshine, but not too hot yet. I'm enjoying re-reading Garth Nix's Mister Monday as I work towards reading Superior Saturday (which I bought last week - oh the joy of having a little spare cash!), and I'm in a generally good mood (ie. I'm not thinking about what's going to happen in tomorrow's Doctor Who season finale!). Therefore, I thought I'd share this poem by Wordsworth, as it seems to suit my mood:

Unsung Heroes: With the Internet, the bedroom is the stage, and the world is the
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 04, 2008 (12:51:19)
Like a lot of aspiring artists in Blount County and around the world, Duncan has discovered the power of Myspace and other social networking sites as an outlet for her art. With an acoustic guitar, a voice that hovers somewhere between Tori Amos and Chan Marshall of Cat Power and the soul of a poet, she’s harnessed the Internet as a sort of digital diary, a window into the thoughts and emotions that swirl like fast-moving storm clouds across her young mind.

The "L" or "l" word
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 04, 2008 (10:55:18)
For those of you who skipped your classical studies class on the day they taught this, the reason lesbians are called lesbians in the first place is because Lesbos' most prominent resident was Sappho, who lived some 2,600 years ago and was known as “the tenth muse” for writing some of the hottest erotic poetry of all time.

They mess you up
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 04, 2008 (07:37:56)
Link! This is a terrible and moving memoir, both raw and artful. The “muddle and sadness and fight of it all” is refracted through the careful telling, the choice of detail, the remembered voices and the cunning weave of past with present. As Ms Blackburn writes, her mother is dying, and in a series of forward flashes the reader watches the two of them, in the nick of time, bury the past and find love. And the daughter? It had been a close shave, but what saved her in the end came from her father at his best: a love of writing, language, learning poetry, telling stories, singing songs—a soundtrack of her own, louder than breaking glass.

Review: WHY I CAME WEST, Rick Bass
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 04, 2008 (07:32:44)
In Why I Came West. Bass confronts head-on the violence against the land and the threat of violence against those who seek to protect the land. I am not suggesting a parallel of menace between Saro-Wiwa's martyrdom and the death threats received by Bass, but I am suggesting a parallel of purpose behind the hostility.
