*current writings on current things creatively articulated…
from Tolerance
Genial poets, pink-faced
earnest wits—
you have given the world
some choice morsels,
gobbets of language presented
as one presents T-bone steak
and Cherries Jubilee.
Goodbye, goodbye,
I don’t care
if I never taste your fine food again,
neutral fellows, seers of every side.
Tolerance, what crimes
are committed in your name.
Denise Levertov (1975)
*Have you been doing any creative writing, making videos or music or images or etc since the election + inauguration, or have any writing that deals somehow with our contemporary world, the trauma, the policies, the fear, the egregious, the hope, the possibilities, history/social/political the etc the etc? We are thinking about putting together a collection of writings (across creative genres). We would print/share it low-fi or have it real-published … in the meantime, posting pieces here: https://frogislandpress.wordpress.com/. Do you have something you might want to share?
Send it if you have it, 3-4 pages max, word doc, copy into email, PDF, JPEG, web link, link to video…
