Sudden Trip
to Verde Valley, Arizona
to see son Randy (all of 17), who some fool military recruiter has somehow talked into signing up for the Marines. Un-eff'n'-believable. I respect my son's right to make his own decision, of course. But since when were military recruiters allowed to f2f-spam high school kids, basically hitting on them day after day (wearin' em down?) like used car salesmen?
Hoping he will listen to reason from me and his sisters. Looks like the damage is already done, tho.
I'll see if I can get online to blog a little along the way.
Wish me luck please!!! & stay tuned you wonderful tex folk!

a Virtu(ous!)al Concrete Essay: Gumby DerBlauMuunzzz

from Jill Jones: Received (and read with greatest of pleasure!) :
Jill Jones, Struggle and radiance: ten commentaries,
Wild Honey Press, 2004.
A beautifully made, hand sewn chapbook. Stunning artwork on cover, a rectangle of splashes, dashes, swirls of color, which might best be described with a fragment of the poetry as "beyond the difference/ trapped in vision" ("I. A Vision"). The poems fairly take off from there, each with Jones customary precision and care for word and deed in life experience. This is a poet with not only ear and eye fully committed to work together in/on the poem, but the entire body of being is ever present, fully an art, then, not only committing distinctly differing parts to the whole, but of engaged commitment to the larger social body of ideas, not least of which that of self-reflective questions of temporal presence, transcendence and influenced by cultural habituation:
...
But still a consumer
the constant capture
shelves my handy packets.
(Can we still talk?)
The boys, the queens
unhappy together.
Are these the years?
...
(I. "A Vision," 6)
Here is more of what I sense on these somewhat quiet, yet heady and so welcome matters of body, its perceptive partialities, its sensual intellect splashed into being:
II. Colours swim
What sort of eyes
I must have now
to see past these streaks
of eden.
Black outlines
in which vision
& nbsp; swims
a cotton that covers
sleep.
Quick wings
pass branches
settle on air
tiny green-backed flies
and memory
is still a colour.
Cloud sky
yellow as an old summer.
The squealing yards
kids again.
(7)
So compelling, this poetry: it makes me want to be a "green-backed fly" or at least, a "memory"!
Congratulations, Jill, and Randolf of Wild Honey, for this wonder of a book.

Announcing:
The Birth of a Beautiful New Poetic!--from Patrick and Janet Herron:
Sofia Anne Herron !!
Sprogblog: birth announcement & link to photos
Born: Sunday 31 July 2004
12:51 PM--7 lbs., 3 oz., 19 in.
YaY!! Sofia!
Papa Patrick Herron sends along the birth-story:
Janet started labor at 6PM Wednesday, nearly two weeks past the due
date. After an incredible nonstop sleepless 60-hour effort by Janet to
attempt a drug-free delivery, we finally decided to alter our course and
have the baby at UNC Hospitals. A small amount of rest and just the
slightest gentle nudge was all that was needed. Janet was of course
still able to deliver under the care of our Nurse Midwife Sher DiMaggio.
"Janet is healthy and happy and so too is Sofia. At least 10 fingers
and no more than 10 toes.
"Extra-special thanks to our friend Robin Verhoeven and Anne Adams (Jan's
mom) for their constant support and hard work during the week leading up
to the birth. Also thanks go to everyone at the Women's Birth and
Wellness Center for their peerless expert care.
Thanks, Patrick: we love Y'all here, and send lots of big texfiles hugs!

from Anna Eyre's Metaplasmic (Effing Press, 2004)
Shattered Expanse
Sanded and torn
smooth from turbulence
contains no trace
of sharp
break the flesh-
pierced some salted
drunken sole on
an exotic distant
shore. Fractured in my palm
its refined sufferance
gathers magnification
incineration through clouded
opulence. The irresistible gleam,
dried white with ache
for waves carve, pound, and glimmer,
nets my eyes in peer.

TORNADO
ALLEY
from Scott Pierce, Texfiles Poet of the Week:
our surface worlds (from tornado warning)
rain comes like a race
the announcement is a poem
of miles and treelines
hills and buildings
the strobing green stripes
a purple sky of tumbling cloud
stack upon this town
bring the river the streets
dream of in the flat dull night
I quote you on the path you trip and fall
we end it there. the catching roots
we fall along the treeline, it doesn’t sound like me
she’s strumming in the ez chair
the plants and flowers hang
what’s closed will re-open
the chemicals will swirl in this,
our controlled burn of surface life
we’ll never speak of it again. yes,
weed wack around that bush
we’ll pave a diversion.
standing still.
with sunburns.
and gold can happen,
push the dope through the system
sweep us off our feet
and into the gutters
bodies bent in protrusion
and dream
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~copyright of Scott Pierce~~~~~~~~~~~~
