Books I'm reading:
Radish King, 2006 - Ravenna Press
Music delirious going down behind
the theater before the opera starts,
fierce hips, your voice’s rough timbre
carried to a party in a beaded bag.– from “And Your Little Dog, Too”
Robert Bresson
Notes on the Cinematographer (Originally 1975 / Trans. Jonathan Griffin, 1986), 1997 - Green Integer
“The real, when it has reached the mind, is already not real anymore.”
a half-red sea, 2006
Carolina Wren Press
ars poetica, rough ship, drag
me from world to brutal word,
mental passage. (write.) be
a wail of a sound, surfacing
to fountain dark water found
in valleys of shadow of breath.
– from “possibilities of poetry, upon her death”

Rebecca and Evie's books are tremendous! I've just recently discovered Evie Shockley and I am impressed.
Shockley's book is wonderful ,Collin.
I'm equllay impressed by Loudon's. And I really like the look and feel of her book.
Do you like Bresson's work, or are you familiar with his films?
I'm embarassed to say I've never seen any of Bresson's films. Diary of a Country Priest is on my Netflix queue right now.
Diary is an amazing film. Bresson's vision is unique. His work in film reminds me of Charlie Parker in jazz. Bresson's style and approach to film will force you to adjust your concept of cinema.
I'd also recommend Pickpocket. My favorite of his works is au hasard Balthazar.
