Casida de las palomas oscuras
10/04/2013
On the laurel branches I saw two dark doves. One was the sun; the other, the moon. Little neighbor, I asked, where is my grave? In my tail, said the sun; in my throat, said the moon…. One was the other and both were none. Por las ramas del laurel vi dos palomas oscuras. La … More Casida de las palomas oscuras
Mediterranean schedule
10/04/2013
I always like it when I can have a Mediterranean schedule as I am convinced it gives you more time in the day. Here is how I did it: 7:30 get up, drink coffee, read mail, leave 8:30 meeting, then errands 10:00 the merienda — I actually ate a whole lunch-type salad at this hour, … More Mediterranean schedule
Al cavilar…
10/04/2013
For research yesterday I went to a talk and bought a book. Today I thought about it. An implication of 2012 and 2013 publications on plaçage, which is a myth, for my work is that Cuba’s national novel really is about the white fear of the mulata who will undermine the “restraint” required of white men … More Al cavilar…
Les Blank
09/04/2013
For Burden of Dreams Les Blank was always my favorite filmmaker. My devotion intensified upon first looking into Always for Pleasure. I finally threw him over for Alejandro González Itañarriatu because of his film Biutiful. This is fortunate since Blank has died; had I not thrown him over I would have no favorite filmmaker now. Nonetheless … More Les Blank
Writing Monday
08/04/2013
I said I would start working normally, if minimally, today and I have. Thomas says we should be able to write a coherent paragraph of six sentences in 27 minutes. Mine has three sentences but they are very long; in English they could definitely not be that long, so I am calling them six. There … More Writing Monday
Vrbe IV
08/04/2013
Entre los matorrales del silencio la obscuridad lame la sangre del crepúsculo . Las estrellas caídas. son pájaros muertos en el agua sin sueño del espejo y las artillerías sonoras del atlántico se apagaron, al fin, en la distancia. Sobre la arboladura del otoño. sopla un viento nocturno: es el viento de Rusia, de las … More Vrbe IV
That contrarian coach
08/04/2013
I am an advisor in my own right now, because I am actually coaching someone. For free, like a priest serving the gods, I offer what I have. I know standard advice but I also give another view. Everyone always says I am true and my views are inspiring. I am here to conquer and thrive; … More That contrarian coach
Baile de cuna
07/04/2013
I was out walking and came upon one of the bailes de cuna Villaverde describes taking place in Havana, but that we also have here. A grandfather in a green silk suit waved me in. Another one grabbed me to dance. I like your step was his first salida. Caribbean men. He was one of these jinetero … More Baile de cuna
