As you can probably guess there is a fair amount of work put into all this, and sometimes it seems a bit crazy, and sometimes it becomes rather trying; but a comment like this from a reader of your intelligence, sophistication and sensitivity makes it all seem worthwhile.<br /><br />So much so that I believe I will directly reward myself by taking my weary and aching head off... well, that sounded perhaps a bit extreme, self-decapitation as a reward... I mean taking myself off to seek the friendly consultation of a pillow.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-84796845713564361102010-03-31T06:44:01.074-07:002010-03-31T06:44:01.074-07:00I spent a lot of time yesterday with the four new ...I spent a lot of time yesterday with the four new poems and illustrations you posted in my mind. They took me through car rides, shopping, skating rink time (I observe only) and a three-hour meeting with a rather driven, but inspiring accountant/film maker. (Actually, I should say film maker/accountant.) The shock value of the Auden never quite wears off and the photos complement it unexpectedly but perfectly. It’s so “today” I wish it weren’t. Cat Telephone tells you about all you need to know (the photo sure does and the watercolor is charming). The contrast between the Ashbery poem and photo, which are so solid, dramatic and unified, and the procession of images and the way things unfold In Bolinas amazed me. The latter poem is a remarkable example of the Beyond The Pale “method” and very moving. Thank you. It was an amazing single-day collection of art, truth and beauty and when my mind wandered from whatever the current task at hand was, it wandered somewhere great.Curtis Robertsnoreply@blogger.com
