Apprehensions

by Sylvia Plath

There is this white wall, above which the sky creates itself--- Infinite, green, utterly untouchable. Angels swim in it, and the stars, in indifference also. They are my medium. The sun dissolves on this wall, bleeding its lights. A gray wall now, clawed and bloody. Is there no way out of the mind? Steps at my back spiral into a well. There are no trees or birds in this world, There is only sourness. This red wall winces continually : A red fist, opening and closing, Two gray, papery bags--- This is what I am made of , this and a terror Of being wheeled off under crosses and a rain of pietas. On a black wall, unidentifiable birds Swivel thier heads and cry. There is no talk of immortality among these! Cold blanks approach us : They move in a hurry.

Paris is for lovers

FRANCE. Hauts de Seine. Meudon. 1991.

"A photograph isn't necessarily a lie, but nor is it the truth.

 It's more of a fleeting, subjective impression.

 What I most like about photography is the moment that you can't anticipate: you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected."

Doors

"An open door says, “Come in.”

A shut door says, “Who are you?”

Shadows and ghosts go through shut doors.

If a door is shut and you want it shut,

     why open it?

If a door is open and you want it open,

     why shut it?

Doors forget but only doors know what it is

     doors forget."

--Carl Sandburg

The Bend

By Claude Esteban

Around the bend of a phrase

you return, it’s dawn in a book, it’s

a garden, one can

see everything, the dew, a moth

on a leaf and it’s you

who rises suddenly amid the pages

and the book grows more lovely

because it’s you

and you've not grown old, you walk

slowly to the door.

Source: Poetry (June 2011).

Translated from the French by Joanie Mackowski 

it's dawn in a book somewhere

BLUE BOOK ONE: DREAMHOUSE

"Dreamhouse consists of two high-quality photobooks and two tapes in a lovely wooden case. One book juxtaposes architectural details of men's bodies with architectural details of buildings and the other book juxtaposes architectural details of women's bodies with architectural details of buildings.

Porn, basically. For people who are sexually attracted to architecture.

Photographers featured in Dreamhouse are:

The music contained on the tapes is a "soundtrack" of sorts. One tape is a mix of Blue Tapes artists Whitney George, Guzzlemug, Prayer and We are Bright & Broken. The other tape is a collage piece - called Sleeping in Houses - themed on architecture, memory and dreams, by Thank You, Merciless Onlookers."

Departure

by Sylvia Plath

The figs on the fig tree in the yard are green;

Green, also, the grapes on the green vine

Shading the brickred porch tiles.

The money's run out.

How nature, sensing this, compounds her bitters.

Ungifted, ungrieved, our leavetaking.

The sun shines on unripe corn.

Cats play in the stalks.

Retrospect shall not often such penury-

Sun's brass, the moon's steely patinas,

The leaden slag of the world-

But always expose

The scraggy rock spit shielding the town's blue bay

Against which the brunt of outer sea

Beats, is brutal endlessly.

Gull-fouled, a stone hut

Bares its low lintel to corroding weathers:

Across the jut of ochreous rock

Goats shamble, morose, rank-haired,

To lick the sea-salt.
