<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Last week I met Shannon McLeod, a young poet whose work I didn't yet know but am now loving. I especially love "Enid."</span><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: Verdana;">Enid</b><span style="background-color: #ffffcc; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<i style="font-family: Verdana;">Shannon McLeod</i><span style="background-color: #ffffcc; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="big" style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 1.5;">
Last week, my therapist suggested we put a name to my anxiety.<br />
<br />
During our conversation, just for an example, she called it "Enid." She said I could change the name. She suggested I give it a name with a more repugnant association.<br />
<br />
We named it so I could see illness as an enemy, a separate entity, rather than <i>me.</i><br />
<br />
I cannot think of anyone I hate as much as I hate this part of myself.<br />
<br />
Hello, Enid.</div>

I have been thinking about blogging here again because I love the simplicity of Blogger, and the side bar where I can see who else is blogging.

Every summer I think I will write when I am here in my favorite place on earth. And I do write--a little. But I like to think playing-- or just staring out the window is sometimes a necessary interval in a writing life. <i>Hah! </i>Nin Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757642773669370452.post-28311305806784321412015-07-02T14:34:00.000-04:002015-07-03T11:31:44.249-04:00Wallace Stevens and the Pond at the End of Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In <i>The State of the Art</i> by David Lehman, Lehman writes that when President Clinton was president, he hosted a "Millennium Evening" to celebrate American poetry. The event was beamed to 220 sites and was cybercast, and a transcript was made available to the public. Lehman commented: "it was no less pleasurable for the accidental transformations that hasty typing produced--as when Wallace Stevens's 'the palm at the end of the mind' turned into 'the pond at the end of time.'"Nin Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757642773669370452.post-19439108774680004842015-06-30T18:06:00.001-04:002015-06-30T18:06:33.804-04:00CSU Interview Questions about Life after the Book of Orgasms<a href="http://www.csupoetrycenter.com/news-1/2015/6/29/5-questions-with-nin-andrews">http://www.csupoetrycenter.com/news-1/2015/6/29/5-questions-with-nin-andrews</a>Nin Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757642773669370452.post-31326980917663782782015-06-29T11:54:00.001-04:002015-06-29T11:57:10.147-04:00Whitman<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first is translated by C. Cavanagh, the second by J. Trzeciak. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was reading David Lehman's, <i>State of the Art</i>, in which he compares these two translations. He writes: </span><br />
<i style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So profound is the difference that the concurrent appearance of the two translations seemed itself to constitute a literary event--an ambiguous parable that could yield lessons ranging from the familiar ('"poetry is what is lost in translation'") to the paradoxical ('"poetry is mistranslation").</span></i>Nin Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757642773669370452.post-16865955344244829402015-05-13T19:52:00.001-04:002015-05-13T19:52:57.300-04:00MIPO!!!<a href="https://mipo.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/magzter2.pdf">https://mipo.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/magzter2.pdf</a><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">I never was attached to that great sect,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Whose doctrine is, that each one should select</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Out of the crowd a mistress or a friend,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">And all the rest, though fair and wise, commend</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">To cold oblivion, though it is the code</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Of modern morals, and the beaten road</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Which those poor slaves with weary footsteps tread,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">By the broad highway of the world, and so</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">With one chained friend, perhaps a jealous foe,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">The dreariest and the longest journey go.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Note: I've been reading David Lehman's <i>The State of the Art</i>. This poem was discussed in the chapter titled 2013 with the subtitle, "It was his poetry that kept him going." It begins with the sentence: "Shelley's 'Defense of Poetry' (1821) culminates in an assertion of poetry as a source not only of knowledge but of power. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">I've been thinking about that. Poetry, a source of power. </span></span><br />
