  Nods1

August 11, 2006 Friday

Last night I saw poetry in motion a very old film about poets reading and performing their poems. I saw Jim Carroll reciting "Just Visiting". I re-read from 'The Book of Nods' the aforementioned poem and the NY and California Variation. Michael Ondaatje read a poem that he wrote for his niece. It was inspired or an answer to Paul Bowels assertion that Indian people don't have a sense of the musical. I remember just one pretty line about a lady walking into the room with clanking ankle bracelets. It was the last line of the poem.

I stumbled onto audiopoetry.wordpress.com via the tag features of Wordpress. I just listened to a poem by Ondaatje call 'To a Sad Daughter' on audiopoetry.wordpress.com. I don't know if it's read byOndaatje.

As Far As…

As far as you know
I’m not here
As far as you know
I’m not anywhere near
Your magnetic fields
Of attraction
That makes the filigree
On my arms rise
As far as I can go from here
Not to be anywhere near
As far as you know
I’m nowhere near
Not from fear
Not from here
As far as you go to find
Me here
To find your fears
It’s not anywhere near here
As long as you fear
As long as I fear you near

Wanting Less
Eleven empty easels sit in a room without
abstract paintings or collages. Let's be
this large empty room painted white
with a shellacked wooden floor. A room
of silence, naked and wanton. A life
without more hiatus. That moment of
vacuum, timeless. Let's be
rivers that run through the middle of houses.
Upwards light buoys us
to surge through cities of clouds, a place
never dreamed, realms of noble terror
and delight where we become brushstrokes.

Diner with Maria Sivak.
We talked about art, inspiration and process. During the dinner with Maria: boat journey metaphor suite case as metaphor. She believes an object has the power to contain memory. She found a suite case one day. She was going to give it away to good will but found that she could not. She put it in the closet.
God...why is it so slow to write about this wonderful conversation. I wish that I had record this. I want to buy a microphone for my minidisc.
She got me to think more about my project. I casual made origami abstract piece which I kept with me for a long time...then I photographed it one day out of the need to tinker. And now begins an obsession with the object.

Sounds good. I will be at your house Sun. around 2.

By the way I think Sun. is the time change, so 1 will be 2, if that makes sense.

Hey Duc,
Did you get him to sign your book? Hope the line didn't take too long. I should have been a poet. You could tell a lot of the women wanted him, even though he was old. Ha ha, you know it was true. Like in that movie Wonderboys with Michael Douglas.
I do want to read some of his poems now, they were pretty cool.
Yeah we could go hiking Sunday, I am not busy.

Duc,

Could you describe the nature of the "now & zen" show? What sort of
things are you looking for...I could make a stab at it based on the
title but I thought I'd ask you first. I'm hoping to shoot fresh images
for the show.

Hm...most of the work I'm selecting is very abstract. The color is mostly muted tones. Maria Sivak said that she draws her work in one concentrated sitting with out making any corrections and without any specific intent other then the concentration. I thought this was a good idea. I myself will have images that are mostly white and the nature of the work is quiet and meditative.
