In fact, this bedroom would be a pleasant office.
I would turn the desk inward, to face the sunroom
And I would not line the walls with books. Perhaps Turkish hangings
I could use the red office chair
And place a couch along the wall, perhaps.
I. That wistfulness. I still wish for any one of the lives I could have had had I not renounced self so resoundingly. Yet we do not have free will. Is it something deeper I miss? Surely. Having to do with my quicksand-like mother, and so on.
II. The projects. Tom notes that what gives me the most energy is my Baltic plan.
III. Recycling. It seems like a small thing but it means I am daring to look at old files. I’m recycling:
- LALR translation of Pau-Brasil Manifesto and Richard Morse article on Triangulating Cubists. He’s right, Oswald has stronger images than WCW
- Some materials from and on the Semana de Arte Moderna (I am sure a beautiful color version of every image is online)
- Jeff Humphries on Montaigne, in Sub-stance 35 (1982). “The self-devouring self: Montaigne’s anti-influential model of identity.” This article is actually worth remembering, not for any immediate purpose I have, but for general ones.
Axé.
