  1. 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...)

  6. "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.

  11. 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)

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  27. 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.

  31. 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?
