http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. These are the days": a first note on Larry Eigner. However, I also found myself wishing very much that Robinson would, at least parenthetically, note that there are other types of fine poems by Eigner than those involved with momentary particulars. A short amazing Eigner poem called "Whoppers Whoppers Whoppers! That I take to be one of pure statement. Was ringing in my ears. Let's look at the poem I said was "ringing in my ears":. At first gl...

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: July 2008
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Monday, July 07, 2008. A few weeks after the Shakespeare dream, I had the Chaucer dream. I'm among several people standing in the aisle of an Amtrak train-car. It isn't clear why we are standing up; we don't seem to be waiting to use the bathroom, and there are plenty of empty seats. In fact, I do have a seat to return to, which I imagine is true also for the three or four other standees. I say, yes I do. Note: some time after dreaming the dream I realized that "daughte...

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: April 2006
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Sunday, April 30, 2006. I hope I will eventually find in print (or someone could point me toward) definite proof that Lorine Niedecker had a strong interest in etymology. For I think it's a buried meaning based on word-history that would give the striking, perplexing- arresting. As it were- conclusion of the following lines a truly satisfying and powerful significance. (This is not a complete poem, but the final section of a three-part poem called "Depression years").

The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Thursday, November 30, 2006. 8 lines, lots of dashes. Euphony Variations *Orbiting Emily*. When Fiddles shoo 'way- their Spikes of- Pride-. Where- Bells let fly their Knots. Might Clocks- forego- the toxic- Traps. Hide nestled- in their Tocks? Praise- best Trumpets abhor- the Armor's Gleam. Rapped Drums- rebut the- Fight. Shout Grace- when abject- Throats still weak. Can grasp- soft- pliant Bird Song's- Might. Posted by Stephen Baraban @ 9:15 PM 2 comments.

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: "Everybody plays the fool"
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2011/04/everybody-plays-fool.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Friday, April 01, 2011. Everybody plays the fool". As the song says. "No exceptions to the rule". And there's the old saying, "even Homer nods". But I was very surprised in a library some years ago to see that the editors of Pegasus Descending: A Book of the Best Bad Verse. Had thought to include in that anthology Emily Dickinson's Poem #566-"A Dying Tiger- moaned for Drink- ", which I find to be very powerful, and believe to be oft-acclaimed. Never pain to tell thy Love.

The Earth With A City In Her Hair: May 2006
http://earthwithcity.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Tuesday, May 23, 2006. I saw Ingmar Bergman's masterful and wrenching film Cries and Whispers. Maria and Karin have unhappy marriages (Karin breaks the glass); and that a Chaplain delivers an "unusual prayer" that "confesses his own lack of faith". But I thought someone might like the main thing I noticed. Posted by Stephen Baraban @ 7:25 PM 2 comments. But is enthusiasm for Klee forever lost to me? One sign is that he never visited).

The Earth With A City In Her Hair. Saturday, October 07, 2006. Unhappily, or maybe happily, I didn't take notes as it happened or shortly after. Eventually I was astonished to see people toward the rear of the march carrying intricate, extremely capacious silver containers- maybe it was only the handles of these prodigious objects that were very complex, but I think perhaps some of the huge silver bodies-proper were twisty also. What was this, some Dream? Labels: New York City. Tuesday, October 03, 2006.
