It's a Good Things We All Wear Clothes (!)

Starting a couple of new projects.

Got free tix to the Russian Ballet at the Fox.

There were a surprisingly large number of Russians in attendance.

JT spent a lot of time trying to liberate a frisbee caught in a tree

It was tense to say the least.

Just got this book

I am really digging Condo's figures

especially these

and these.

And I heard Anthony McCann give a reading as part of the Emory Poetry Series. Everyone reading that night was incredible. You should get his new book out by Wave Books and read it out loud to yourself or whoever happens to be sleeping beside you. Here is a poem:

FIELD WORK

by Anthony McCann

Later, on the ridge, in samurai dress

I appear. It's me. In mustache. And gear.

The most is full of

CHERRYBLOSSOMS and I count

the cries of

BIRDS. Beyond that moat is

TEENAGE FRANCE. There youths frolic,

pace and

resemble me. But

what kind of person

is a person

like this? My fingers

put shadows

on all of the

birds

as just

beyond song

birds

scrape up the sky.

We ride

on a haycart

down through

their codes. In the village

the villagers

dress

in blue codes. Our fathers

make shadows

all over their

caps. I mean

our fingers

make shadows

on the faces

of cops. We cross the

late bridge

to our fathers.
