This is a fun first sentence to have had right after Hahn's opening line for If This Be Magic:
"Shakespeare is a very good writer. This is not news."
Both use a sort of... what is that? Not sarcasm, exactly...
Anyhow, excited to read this, although it's a library book that came in sooner than I expected... I've now had it for five or six days, so I'll be reading pretty quick! I'd read an interview w/Rooney that made it sound quite funny. (The plot also made me think of #HartCrane, who I was reading around the time I learned of the book...)

"As silent as a mirror is believed
Realities plunge in silence by . . ."-- #FirstLines of Hart Crane, "Legend," the opening poem in his *White Buildings* volume (1926)
A poetry thread in the #ReadingNotes thread? Sure!
Going to read through Crane's *White Buildings*, as a cure for poetry paralysis (having trouble deciding what to read lately).
Will put some reading notes here, unsure of how much.

Forgetfulness is like a song
That, freed from beat and measure, wanders.
Forgetfulness is like a bird whose wings are reconciled,
Outspread and motionless,--
A bird that coasts the wind unwearyingly.Forgetfulness is rain at night,
Or an old house in a forest,-- or a child.
Forgetfulness is white,-- white as a blasted tree,
And it may stun the sybil into prophecy,
Or bury the Gods.I can remember much forgetfulness.
-- Hart Crane, "Forgetfulness" (1918)

In this way, #HartCrane is the consummate passenger on a voyage: an individual whose transitory existence challenges conventional notions of belonging & rootedness (see Victor Turner's Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors, Ch. 6). Per Turner, Crane's efforts to evade social structure & occupy a liminal space is evident where he embeds his own sense of marginality. He constructs Passage as a text that deliberately disrupts the syntactic and semantic framework dictated by conventional grammar/logic.
-
When reading #HartCrane, his rootlessness is emblematic of his broader instability, a condition #PhilippeSoupault characterized as that of a "man torn apart" -- a victim of familial rupture, plagued by alcoholism, and driven to suicide. #HartCrane's [Passage] can be read as this textual embodiment of his perpetual state of errancy. The poem's final voyage -- ending in death by drowning -- mirrors the trajectory of a man who existed on the margins (in life & art), detached from home & identity.

John Unterecker's biography of #HartCrane, Voyager, captures the essence of a poet whose life was defined by relentless movement & sense of displacement; viz., driven by a desire to escape the turmoil of his Ohio upbringing. Akin to #Rimbaud -- his French counterpart & usually point of comparison -- emerges as a quintessentially nomadic figure. His nomadism ended in the 30s when he leapt into the Gulf -- a tragic and defining moment that mythologized his existence for over 70 years.

Today has been quite the day for THE BRIDGE. Earlier today it aired on Spokane Public Radio and just now I received an email from ASCAP letting me know that the "Van Winkle" movement from THE BRIDGE is on ASCAP's New Music Friday playlist.

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we're cutting deeper than usual as we examine Lovecraft's acquaintance with the gay poet Hart Crane - and how that relationship has shaped our image of Lovecraft as a homophobe.

It's a mid-week special on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein as we look at "The Ten-Cent Ivory Tower" (1946) by John Wilstach - a memoir of Lovecraft that ran in ESQUIRE and tells of an apocryphal meeting with Hart Crane. But did it really happen?
