restless artists

In found things, quote on 13 July 2008 with no comments

“Had they paints or clay or knew the discipline of dance, or strings; had they anything to engage their tremendous curiosity and their gift for metaphor, they might have exchanged their restlessness and preoccupation with whim for an activity that provided them with all they yearned for.  And like any artist with no artform, they […]

In poetry, quote on 11 July 2008 with no comments

So you’ll know me
The one thing I will tell you
So you’ll know me
Precisely
When you look for me in the
Crowd of all those faces

Which always move back and forth like
The Sea,
Is that I will look nothing like

I always recommend this book and have been known to carry it around in my purse for sometimes months at a time, sharing passages with random people whenever I have the opportunity, its fantastically well written and it always speaks to me. I picked it up again because I loaned it to someone to use […]

I’ve been MIA in internet land. I’ve managed to, or course, keep the twittering going but the blogs, facebook, flickr and google reader have all sort of taken a back seat while I engaged in a few summer festivities. Since its been so long I thought I’d give a brief run-down of the highlights of […]
