GOD GOES POSTAL
Got a picture of Jesus
in the mail today.
8 x 11 inch paper facsimile
of a prayer rug with
Jesus in His blondeness,
His California surfin’ dude beard.

it makes us white folk feel better
about worshipping someone
from the Middle [...]

Son House
knows of which he speaks,
knows of murder and self-defense,
knows of years gone on Parchman Farm,
knows of all those years lost
at the Central Railroad,
knows Robert Johnson
sold his soul to the devil,
knows there’s nothing worth
caring about but whiskey,
knows things that give shape to
that old, scratchy voice,
knows failures and infidelities
make us more and not less,
knows we each [...]

Some books are written in ink.
Some books are still banged out on the typewriter, a glass of beer pushed off to the side, the floor swimming with old papers and books. It really doesn’t matter how you get the words down, if they don’t have the taste of blood smeared on them they’re [...]

Robert Wilkinson and Li Po
This is the third posting in a row, the second on “variations on the theme of Li Po.” It’s always fascinating to read the effect of one writer (sometimes an ‘ancient’) on another. And here we have the poet, Robert Wilkinson, wrestling with the words, time, presence of Li Po, [...]
