Here is a book I would like to read. I am dying for research time and I am guessing that in order to get it, you have to really want it. Perhaps I am coming close to this. Axé.
On sound in poetry
31/10/2015
I think most poets of a high calibre work in this way to some degree or other—typically hearing first lines of poems simply come into their head, sometimes even as heard voices, successively followed by a flow of words, lines, and passages that come as naturally as leaves to a tree, and are imbued with … More On sound in poetry

Dezembro
25/10/2015
Today, unless I already have a reservation I prefer in San Luis, I must reserve this for December 20. December 19 I am in Santa Monica, and December 21 in Pescadero. I then need my place in San Rafael, perhaps, and places for the way back. In fact, I know where I want to stay: … More Dezembro

At the same time, I keep hearing mid level administrators refer to faculty as “teachers.” It is as though faculty as a category were being eliminated. That is one of the … More Je ne le dirai pas

Veblen on business in America
11/10/2015
Veblen does not adopt Adam Smith’s notion that the pursuit of self-interest leads naturally to the expansion of the common good, and that the hidden hand guides this economy towards optimal outcomes and uses of available resources: The outcome of this management of industrial affairs through pecuniary transactions, therefore, has been to dissociate the interests … More Veblen on business in America
César Vallejo is getting famous
09/10/2015
The question we need to ask ourselves at this moment is what further provocations we require to justify digging in our heels. To put the question more pointedly: Are we willing to wait until the next presidential election, or for some interim congressional conversion experience, knowing that if we do wait, hundreds of our sons … More César Vallejo is getting famous
