  Al Filreis — Authority: 130
  Ive made an mp3 recording of a speech avatar reciting the lecture Wallace Stevens gave at MoMa in 1951, "Relations between Poetry and Painting." Stevens himself spoke in a low droning monotone so the avatar, minus the patrician accent, gets it about right. Stevens made more public visits to New York in 1951 than any ...

  Necromancy Never Pays — Authority: 415
  This past Sunday, convalescing after the flu, I sat in a patch of weak November sunlight coming in through the picture window that has a spot of blood and feathers on it and reread one of my favorite poems, Wallace Stevens Sunday Morning. Its a long poem, but if you pick out a few lines to admire, it has lovely ...

  Al Filreis — Authority: 130
  In my basement I found a water-warped address book dating from the period 1978-1985. This morning I went looking for a few old addresses, picked up the little half-rotted black codex and out fell a pink card, which brought back a flood of good memories.

  NIGEL BEALE NOTA BENE BOOKS — Authority: 498

What is it about the critic that cannot rest content with this silent transaction? Most of the time the critic is just another reader, and ...

• Shadow Dancing

  
  Slow Muse — Authority: 122
  I’m still combing the beach of Bly’s small book, A Little Book on the Human Shadow . In some ways this is a sequel to my earlier posting, The Thatness . Bly is so open about his woundedness, in person and in his poetry. I don’t think I know of another poet who is so unabashedly brought to tears by the ...

• The Thatness

  
  Slow Muse — Authority: 122
  Arnold Arboretum, Boston I’ve been in a silent streak these last few days. Is it because the fall is so exceptionally beautiful this year that I am feeling even more speechless than usual? Perhaps. But also I think it is because I’m deep in a dig. This time it is a new curiosity about shadow. You know, that ...
