Music shuffling in the background. Keith Richards growling through speakers.

Finished what feels like an important section of Appearances today. The piece is essentially a little play.

Also finished reading Jarnot's Duncan bio. Haven't finished thinking about it though. It is a beautifully researched and written tome. It moved me on a number of decidedly braided levels. Maybe one of these days I'll try to unravel and parse it all.

Excited to know that Rebecca Loudon's Trism will be available soon (see today's earlier blog post for ordering details).
Trism had its genesis as a response to my Questions at Ohio State piece. I'm not sure I understand the mental leaps Rebecca made from my text to hers, but I'm glad she made them. Trism is a remarkable text that I'll be exploring here at some later date and--hopefully--in an interview (our second) also.

I tried to comment here from werk but it was an epic fail. Thank you for all of this, Tom. I've never written a poem (and this is basically just one long poem) through means of constraints. It was terrifying and wild. I don't know how I did it either.
