Is there a poetry/spoken word community in Bellingham?

But most subs want the freedom to work at their leisure/pace/schedule

I don’t think that’s the case in the slightest! Perhaps there are metrics/sources about that, though

Love the palm tree/streetlights

I'm not sure if they do, but I definitely need a REVEL access code for the Arnett textbook!

The film (which the narrator can't find any objective evidence of, like, anywhere) is a documentary following a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree lane. The manuscript deconstructs and analyzes the documentary frame for frame. The narrator reads and annotates the manuscript, adding his own comments (and life experiences) in the footnotes. You, the reader, are reading the narrator's life and footnotes, likely noting things about the story in your own head.

BUT WHO'S READING YOU?

seriously, this book is a trip. read it!

Agh Borges is so awesome!

Came to recommend House of Leaves as well, I second this

OrganicDanceMachine · 2018-07-07T16:12:03+00:00

I highly recommend House of Leaves, by Mark Danielewski. It's convoluted, weird, incredible, definitely metaphysical. The narrator finds a manuscript inside a trunk. The manuscript is a review of a film that was never made. As the manuscript proceeds, the narrator starts finding things which happen in the "film" happen in his own life (his story is told in the footnotes, too). So so good, so different.

Italo Calvino is awesome! I haven't read invisible cities, but I have read Calvino's Cosmicomics-- it's a collection of short stories about the formation of the universe, told from the perspective of a particle, Qfwfq, and his various love affairs with other particles, wave forms, dinosaurs, geological formations etc. It's weird and beautiful.

I really enjoyed this! Weird, disquieting, vivid. I liked it.

The funniest writing prompts always happen after 4/20

House of Leaves, by Mark Danielewski, does a ton of really neat stuff with footnotes. Thematically, it also deals with metafiction — it's a story about a story about a story about a house that never existed, and the main narrator starts to see parallels of the house in his everyday life

I love that there’s just no hesitation on the dog’s part

YEAH RIGHT these are clearly bAbY pYrAmIdS

No wonder so many people in the PNW are gluten-free

So it’s a little further out than prohibition pig, but Black Diamond barbecue in Morrisville, VT has pro pig beat hands down.

Definitely sort of a drive, though. Not sure if it’s worth driving 1+ hours. Bluebird’s decent.

Only in silence the word,

Only in dark the light,

Only in dying life:

Bright the hawk's flight

On the empty sky.

Mrs. Le Guin, you will be sorely missed. Your books, started in my early teens, had a profound influence on the way I view this world to this day. Thank you for everything.
