Text of the page (random words):
see here drizzled with olive oil stuck in a lasagna pan in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes the chicken i simply coated with paprika and based for an hour strangely enough i didn t need to add salt to either dish in this meal the garlic was just half a head of garlic that i didn t even both to chop garlic roasted in its skin like this is very creamy in texture and mild tasting between the garlic the jalapeños the onions and the parsley and the paprika the food was quite flavorful unsalted the natural flavors of the food shone forth sweetness of the carrot and onion i was particularly proud of the balance of flavors colors and nutritional elements of course i made twice as much food as you see here on the plate i will eat the rest for dinner tonight not bad for about 10 minutes of preparation posted by jonathan at 11 41 a m 1 comentario labels culinary 15 ago 2012 georgics the first section of libro del frío a major long poem by antonio gamoneda bears the virgilian title geórgicas it consists of 11 short sections each consisting of 2 3 paragraphs of poeetic prose georgics comes from a greek word meaning farming and the poem is a kind of anti pastoral this house was dedicated to farming and death i saw serenity in the eyes of the cattle destined for industrial knives industry or modernity itself is off stage but the rural world is in decay the most characteristic rhetorical trope is syntactic parallelism the most salient phrasing is noun past particle prepositional phrase esta casa estuvo dedicada a la labranza y la muerte las maderas atormentadas por la lluvia wood tormented by rain this pattern appears in virtually every section of this first section of the poem as i write this entry i hear gamoneda come on randomly on my ipod he is reading a different poem but one with almost identical structure the noun participle prepositional phrase pattern appears several times the most common verbs are those of perception or cognition in first person singular i heard i saw i remember or the existential there is there are there are also verbs of motion rising and falling very few other human agents appear aside from the 1st person speaker who adopts a grave prophetic voice the only one i notice is a neighbor woman who washes the funereal clothes the result is a kind of ghostly world in which the speaker has no other close human companions semantic elements recur from section to section rain and lightning dampness farms animals or stables a flock of sheep images of rot or decay shadows tears lamentation or weeping the repetition of nearly identical phrases or images undercuts the independence of each section creating a kind of plotless narrative in other words each section seems to recount an anecdote but the evocative lyrical repetitions overshadow any kind of narrative coherence is this the same narrative told in 11 different ways or 11 stages of the same story we could easily imagine a more straightforward prose narrative treatment of each anecdote one phrase from the poem gave rise possibly to the title of gamoneda s memoir the next section will be el vigilante de la nieve in which the narrative elements become stronger and the 1st person gives way to the third i wrote this entry in 25 minutes giving myself a kind of test on the poem which i recently memorized posted by jonathan at 10 34 a m no hay comentarios 9 ago 2012 music i decided to listen to all my music on my ipod in random order almost 6 000 songs though some of the songs are lectures poems movements of a string quartet etc the idea is to prevent myself from buying any new music to see what stands out particularly to see what i am not as fond of so far ornette s sound grammar album has stood out right now the shuffle has brought me coltrane this is going to be an excellent sabbatical project i have listened to about 10 so far it will be about 23 days of music all told posted by jonathan at 10 53 a m no hay comentarios 7 ago 2012

later i asked the people what their last name was and they said antrim or antim somehow i got it in my head that this was david antin i wanted to introduce myself to him tell him i had been a fan for a long time but i didn t get to meet him again before i woke up posted by jonathan at 5 17 p m 2 comentarios labels dreams 26 jul 2012 another take another take on art and life is that the artist puts his or her best self into the work of art it is a process of purification there could be all sorts of unpleasant aspects of the artist that don t get expressed in the art work because the art work is not an x ray of a personality therefore bringing up that unpleasantness in judging the art work is illogical this is exactly what the artist was leaving behind transcendence and all that other views have it that the artist needs to be kind of unpleasant that he or she cannot afford to be a good person with that i disagree artists should be judged exactly like anyone else in their personal lives no excuses are allowed so give pound a prize for his poetry then try him for treason there is no contradiction here posted by jonathan at 12 12 p m no hay comentarios response to clarrisa i left this comment on clarrisa s blog a lot of people feel exactly the way you do my approach is somewhat different the art work is independent of its creator the creator is just the medium through which the work came into being the composer kyle gann expressed this in the phrase i am not my music s fault so i care more about what goytisolo expresses directly in his work than about some private behavior of his that i may never hear about my position is exactly opposite from yours of course your approach is not wrong for you there is no reason to try to force yourself into liking something you associate with the repugnant behavior of its creator i am not my music s fault posted by jonathan at 12 00 p m no hay comentarios 16 jul 2012 sam beckett s ride cymbal if quick decay short sustain and

difference posted by jonathan at 1 03 p m 2 comentarios 13 jul 2012 uninterested i am uninterested in poems that sound poetic in language that seems chosen for being lyrical here is the beginning of a poem i found at random for example adrift in the liberating late light of august delicate frivolous they make their way to my front porch and flutter near the glassed in bulb translucent as a thought suddenly wondered aloud illumining the air that s thick with honeysuckle and dusk i ve italicized elements that seem to be the kind of fine writing i don t care for in my own work obviously it takes some talent to create a lyrical mood through the use of such writing maybe i don t have talent for evoking the translucent shimmering dusk or honeysuckle illumining the tender dawn of fluttering bulbs the idea that you don t need to use that kind of language is probably a novel one for most readers and even poets everyone knows poetry doesn t have to rhyme but not everyone knows it can do without poetic sounding language now am i correct in this prejudice that is to say can i justify it beyond my own preferences i don t think that this kind of language is undesirable all the time after all that would be a rigid rule that might be counterproductive what i think is that elevated lyricism shouldn t be a kind of default register for the writing of poetry posted by jonathan at 5 42 p m 5

5 comentarios 12 jul 2012 distinctive features in translation suppose the original work or author has distinctive qualities features that are particular unique or recognizable i can more often than not tell a particular piece is beethoven if i have never heard it before it is beethoveny a question i ask in the master s oral exam often is how you would recognize a poem by a given poet without the author s name attached some writers are ornate some use extensive word play some are given to metonymy some have long sentences and others short so one measure of translation would be success in carrying over or representing such distinctive features if all translations sound the same in the target language then the style of the target language has essentially erased any distinctive differences if an ornate poet is translated into a spare anti rhetorical style then something has gone wrong now this means that the idea of a default style of good writing will distort the choice of texts to be translated i can t translate poetry without visual images into a strongly visual style for example it occurred to me this morning that i could write a how not to translate poetry book obviously i couldn t describe it like that except to myself posted by jonathan at 11 35 a m 3 comentarios translation experiment iv here is very minimalistic version sent to me by my brother stewart

reviews jonathan mayhew s new work belongs to a certain class of surprising books those so obviously necessary once they appear that it apparently required a stroke of genius to come up with the idea for them daniel katz jonathan mayhew s lorca is less the distinctive spanish poet whose murder in 1936 marked the beginning of the civil war than he is an american invention from the 1940s to the end of the century our poets have invoked lorca in translation of course as a romantic exotic radical and in many cases gay icon the poet of mystery and the duende the lorca myth mayhew argues persuasively has enriched american lyric but it has also been an obstacle to a more adequately grounded understanding of spanish poetry in the 20th century apocryphal lorca is revisionist criticism at its most acute marjorie perloff enhanced by copious notes and an excellent bibliography this book offers a perceptive intriguing assessment of the garcia lorca created by the postwar generation of american poets choice mayhew is a critic who is at the top of his game he combines a breadth of knowlege of the field with acute analysis john c wilcox university of illinois at urbana champaign let
