I understand and share some of the uncertainty but feel that actually people in turn are very open in their comments and a real dialogue progresses. <BR/>Re: Louise Glück, I only know that one poem (found it in an anthology) and can’t wait to receive Averno, but the post here has been on strike and everything takes positively ages. Wished I had ordered The Wild Iris too, but am being a bit greedy here.<BR/>Re: Cassandra. I’m wondering if it’s the translation that makes it more difficult to access it. The original German is very dense and particular, a bummer to translate. It certainly doesn’t flow as easily as Margaret Atwoods Penelopiad. <BR/>Wondering if you’re working on your book. You’ve done such brilliant ones, esp. the one done with swarms of letraset-letters springs to mind, and the one with drawings of your sister. Hope to see something soon. And so glad you’re looking at the sky!<BR/>And Uschi, thanks for your good wishes!Marjojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640985618819395961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828886149891259713.post-5550844165174267972007-11-07T04:57:00.000+00:002007-11-07T04:57:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erin Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666485705419340583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828886149891259713.post-50003779474571238392007-11-06T12:46:00.000+00:002007-11-06T12:46:00.000+00:00Since I can so absolutely feel with you I only say...Since I can so absolutely feel with you I only say "Hurray" and hope for you, that this feeling increases more and more, and more and more parts of you feel mended and...perhaps...lucky!Ursula Achtenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978137253135755217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3828886149891259713.post-85161961935346589042007-11-02T23:37:00.000+00:002007-11-02T23:37:00.000+00:00hey there, so i finally put up a new post on my bl...hey there, so i finally put up a new post on my blog...more personal than i'm comfortable with but what the heck. need to just be.<BR/><BR/>once again...touched by your visit to see those clay guys...i have already been neglecting them and treating them like *dirt* (eheh). so thank you for reminding me not to. so great that you noticed the black mouth of the wings and connected with the clay ones. i myself sensed a connection but couldn't really pinpoint what until you mentioned specifically. haziness i am.<BR/><BR/>i am also feeling that wanting you described. have been aching to draw and make books, did i tell you? with drawing and working in the book format, it leaves open a less intimating space to let go some inhibitions and self-judgment. and maybe even incorporate text and writing in it too. sometimes i wish i could be more of a writer than a visual artist. <BR/><BR/>so cool that you checked out Louise Gluck. funny i am also going through that collection you mentioned, along with the one that Erin mentioned (Averno).<BR/><BR/>you know, i have tried to read Cassandra but having a rather hard time getting into it. not sure if it is my lack of general/in depth knowledge of Greek myths or the writing itself. which is it, you think? so fascinating the predicament of Cassandra being cursed like that. <BR/><BR/>btw, i can't stop thinking of that line in your poem of the sky turning colors. i notice the light and color of the sky more and more each day, it seems. and those neatly folded wings...i think i would like to put them on my crying girl maybe...redreddayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592274116116396624noreply@blogger.com
