Cornelius Eady reading at JHU on April 26 at 2.
Am I connected to Baltimore people on here? My dear friend Susannah and her family have sponsored an annual poetry reading for years, now, in honor of the tragic loss of her brother so long ago...
This year it's the amazing Cornelius Eady, whose Brutal Imagination still haunts me.
If I were you I’d get an unlisted number, then think about growing up, just a little. I can’t tell you which divining bones to choose, that’s your job, and when you come close, I wish it was all around, around over me. The jingle of your hat comforts me, confirms me in my worst aspects. I shall never be anything but a clown, now. And there’s so much work to do, so many puzzles to ignore.

ON THE SUBLIME They loved these things. Giraffe, they loved giraffe. They loved the concept of the tapir. They loved him, wholly unnamed. They loved competence and they loved the dark metallic stapler. They loved to trace the trajectory of the armadillo. They loved to speak of plankton. They also loved the fog.

When people are like, "Where is the money for X going to come from?" I'm like, the police budget. The money you are looking for is in the police budget. It's in police contracts (many of which mandate an annual increase--PVD's does) & police pensions, but it's also in things like the supply budget
No one needs to hear it from me, and it is nothing new, but this is a desecration of the memory of my slaughtered ancestors.
