Poetry is nudes that stay nude
Nudity may count for less and less. But to appear out of step with our times! (Horreur !) Poema en tres versiones (espagnol, français et l’anglais original). And apologies to Ezra Pound as regards the title! (Artwork is a watercolor of a naked female swimmer, legs spread — plunging too optimistically into the future?) Text now comes complete with an “Addendum concerning John Ruskin’s horror of his wife’s public hair.”
Good Friday Viernes Santo Vendredi saint (poem)
A poem about a belligerent tourist in Costa Rica, and with a tip of a large cap to Freud’s sage, prescient, sad observation (as translated in Civilization and Its Discontents): “It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the blows. ” The accompanying art is after la Madonna con Bambino of Luca Signorelli, in the collection of la Pinacoteca di Brera, a Milano.
The pain can be silent; the sadness remains
Very short poem about our eliminating so many other species and the fear of ourselves that we may be coming to feel? Poem is formally noteworthy for a duplication: poem repeating epigraph. Artwork is a nude model, tired, leaning on a folding chair.
A la Villa Blanca
Short, perhaps unsettling “fait divers” (anecdote) about an encounter in the mountains of Costa Rica. Illegal adoption may be the subject? The text is offered in three versions: Spanish, English and French. Artwork has been computer generated from a landscape drawing of a small mountain church.
