About

On Ekphrasis (and squeezing the peach): One would think that being an exposed nerve would cause eventual numbness---maybe it will one day, but it hasn't yet. Who doesn't respond to art, music, sideways glances? The faintest glimmer of human emotion is a pebble in my mouth. So, it's about time to respond in a deliberate way. And why not share? Quotes, photos, entire songs, poignant stick figures, famous paintings, no-name stuff, even other people's poetry. All these things are pushing me in subtle ways, pulling me in different directions. Did I mention poetry? Because that is what I mean to do here. With an intermingling of the merely amusing, the deeply touching, and invariably some middle-ground stuff. I'd like to call it, Exquisite Corpse en Solitaire, mostly because it sounds cool, but the truth is I'm playing well with others... they're just not aware.

Also, Mike Patton, jellyfish, and old wooden doors.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Marvelous and dark.. and sweet at times. Talk about a fantastically gritty, magically realistic, authentic tragedy. There is no way I’ll be able to forget this book.

To the latecomers are left the bones.

"I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence."
