Just in time, my friend J passed on a video of an inventive <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/pilobolus_perform_symbiosis.html">dance performance.</a> Do watch it if you can.<br /><br />There are different ways I've been engaging dance in my writing:<br />1. kinesthetic ekphrasis (writing while watching dance & writing/chanting/talking while dancing)<br />2. memory engagement (recollecting dance)<br />3. distancing (using dance reviews as found language).<br /><br />It is so common for the thing we love or know most to be missing in our poems. A friend once told me that he lived near a lighthouse, and someone once commented that no lighthouse ever appeared in his poems. Reading his poems, I started to see "lighthouses" in all the other objects. A hat. An angel. Etc. Maybe this knowledge finds its place in other ways.<br /><br />I am on the lookout for poetry and other writings that relate to movement and dance. Feel free to recommend anything.<br /><br />In my next posting, I will write about my visit to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts two Mexican exhibitions: one on Mexican prints during and soon after the Mexican Revolution and another on Edward Weston's two years in Mexico.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09715677667073860880noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974448.post-53771263574654233442009-05-22T11:35:00.004-04:002009-05-22T11:39:45.388-04:00Clinton on the AmericasU.S. Secretary Hillary Clinton speaking on<a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1705667530?bctid=23062051001"> the Americas. </a>Knowing that she is speaking to the Council of the Americas, I am left wondering how often she extends such a hemispheric message.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09715677667073860880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974448.post-25786441322408654062009-05-22T11:28:00.008-04:002009-05-22T11:40:02.364-04:00Mundo a Mundo Literary TranslationI participated in this program a few years ago.

She explains that she can "project [her visual memories] into writing"; this process can give them back to her. When she talks about writing on the computer screen, relying on gigantic font, she ends with this beautiful image: "It is as if I am passing a huge magnifying glass over this language." I've enjoyed listening to her experience. You may too.<br /><br />By the way, I wrote this blurb. Feel free to let me know what works, what your blurb would be.

No new post. But somewhere in the middle, rarely to be encountered, a new word. Or one gone missing.<br /><br />The blog, this medium, certainly isn't suited for backlog revising, but I like it. I have reasons too, but providing them extends beyond my time now. Not a lot.<br /><br />Last night my friend J mentioned her tendency to excise words in her poems.<br /><br />And dears, how do I get started on the forty-some papery writing journals I have? Much, much to excise. Or is it some forty?<br /><br />In a few years, I hope that I am not "pushing forty" (how it sounds so heavy). I will grow light. Lighter and lighter.

Visit Jon Woodward's "<a href="http://www.jonwoodward.net/poemstostareat/">Poems to Stare At</a>." Let it be a little retreat for you.<br /><br />For starters, I tried the 3-minute one. My soundtrack (all of our soundtracks will vary) was a man outside shaking a spray paint can. With this poem, he wore a mustache. Thank you, neighbor.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09715677667073860880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974448.post-26688126670183964052009-04-16T14:26:00.005-04:002009-04-17T13:20:32.077-04:00Robin Blaser<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0kG-nLRloo">Robin Blaser</a> reading poems at Berkeley.
