These fragments are walking from the depths of my labyrinth, the city, to the shore. From the Blue & Gold Tavern on E 7th to the docks near Snug Harbor.

Paul Muldoon Unlocking Paul McCartney's Musical Genius
"That Sir Paul McCartney turns out to be such a brilliant mimic shouldn’t have come as a surprise. Like almost all great writers, he'd apprenticed himself to the masters of the trade: Dickens, Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson, Lewis Carroll. All apprenticeships are characterised by caricature and impersonation."

What Sparks Poetry:
Alyse Knorr On John Keats' "Bright Star"
"I loved picturing the star in the poem watching the waves clean the shores and the snow graze the mountaintops. I loved how the first half of the poem painted a picture by negation, like a puzzle, and how it wrenched me from the cold, lonely reaches of outer space down to the grounded, intimate moment of laying one's head on a lover's breast and hearing the quiet of her breathing: all made equally sacred in the poem's grand equation." |
