Poets,

How many times do you get a knot in your throat that you can only unravel via poetry?

Dante Gabriel Rossetti was also born today - Pre-Raphaelite poet and painter

For a really great take on the #Rossettis (Dante had a sister Christina ) I highly recommend Hide Me Among the Graves by Tim Powers - Victorian #poets and #vampires!

"Even inside a five-story brownstone crowded with #paintings, #sculptures and #books, no single work can fully contain the spirit of #Ukrainian-born #artist #BenZion. Still, one #painting comes close: a #portrait of the healer and #rabbi known as #BaalShemTov, seated calmly beneath a tree. Rendered in ochre, gray and green, the canvas draws on #Jewish #mysticism and the natural world, themes that pulse through Ben-Zion’s life and work.

Perfectly preserved from the years Ben-Zion lived there, from 1965 until his death in 1987, the #BenZionHouse, located in #Chelsea in #Manhattan, is anything but a mausoleum. Instead, it feels like a living sanctuary — one that not only celebrates the Jewish artist’s life and work, but continues to inspire the #writers, #poets, #architects, #musicians and #painters who pass through its rooms."

One of my favourite stories about the literary life in Russia twenty years ago. And about the weight the literati had in people's consciousness (no, not anymore, not in the land of Z).

I remember this story from time to time.

Dots Out of Line: On #Neuroatypical Curiosity

Educators should ask not who is curious, but how is each person curious?

MIT Press Reader

by Perry ZurnDani S. Bassett, December 2022

Excerpt: "Born in 1992 and diagnosed with autism of a 'severe' and 'nonverbal' type, #NaokiHigashida attended a number of educational institutions in the course of his youth, including a neurotypically centered primary school, a special needs junior high, and a distance learning high school. Observing the many ways in which people with disabilities are fast-tracked out of normal life and shuttled into special needs circles (and low-wage jobs, if they are lucky), Higashida, the author of dozens of poems, short stories, and nonfiction books, wanted to make his own choice. After 'questioning things' for himself, and identifying his gifts and hopes, he decided to become a writer.

"While in school, he had become increasingly frustrated with the steady infantilization and 'schoolmaster-type instruction' that denied his creativity and squashed his curiosity. Indeed, scientists and educators alike repeatedly characterize people with autism as lacking any measurable — and therefore meaningful — curiosity. Resisting this narrative in his writing and activism, Higashida repeatedly asserts his own curiosity: 'I’m always hungry to learn,' 'hungry for knowledge,' he writes in his bestselling memoir 'The Reason I Jump'; 'I want to grow up learning a million things!' Other autistic people, he says, are much like him in this respect, 'constantly challenging and asking questions of themselves.' This should be no real surprise, he writes in a poem called 'Curiosity,' given that curiosity is fundamentally human; it 'is why we carry on.' "

The #minuscule
atom survived,
unchanged,
for billions of years
in the outer reaches of space.
Gas, gravity coalesced.
Scarves of nameless stars,
like grains of sand,
beyond Jupiter
lit up the sky.
Light bending,
black holes
devoid of sunshine,
stark, grief, dread

Despite the lucky hand that I’d been dealt,
I cowered at the beating of the drums.
And now I’ll never know the feeling felt
When William Carlos Williams ate the plums.

Happy #Ostara everyone! Yesterday was spent in celebration with sacred plants. I have touched grass and I hope you have too!

I'm planning on doing a creative content dump in the coming days, but in the meanwhile, I'm looking for other #bards and #poets who are cool that I'm a #transhuman #TechnoPagan doing an art project on the unification of humans and machines via AI #DawnOfTheMachineElves dedicated to #TerenceMcKenna

Terence McKenna was a major proponent of rave culture. Some people just gotta make some noise and get some attention! It's fine to recreate rave culture in your living room, so long as you can pay off your neighbours not to call the cops ;)

Overall, I'm a huge lover of art and nature.
