Is Israel Wolfgang; there must be a story behind that.

If he'd arrived on time he'd have been a Sag, like me. My daughter, who lives in Seattle, has her first boyfriend and will be visiting with him over the Christmas holidays. He's a Scorpio, so I'll get to study that type--and hopefully get along with him. Maybe it'll help that my Mars is in Scorpio, conjunct my sun--which, as far as I can tell, accounts for my being angry almost all the time, though I've done a fair job of keeping it to myself and transmuting that energy into something creative instead.

Hey, and it is good for me to know that my book is available somewhere. I have managed to sell a few on amazon, and I think this thread I'm on now helps a bit.

Congratulations! A new Scorpio in the world! I saw you were reading books about giving birth and thought something might be coming. What did you name him?

I've been pushing my book on LT and elsewhere, with a little bit of success. Hopefully this strand thing will help. Meanwhile, I'm at work (about three chapters from completion) on a sort-of sequel, which I call "Digging Deeper," A Memoir of the Seventies.

Hi, Ashley:

The Salon du Peuple pour le Peuple will be discussing my book next month on a strand set up yesterday for that purpose:

http://www.librarything.com/topic/77721

Come by, put in your two cents, or just to check it out.

Hey ABB,

I see we're united by our "love" of Daniel Pinchbeck. I really like your reviews. They make me want to read the books you've been reading.

All the best,
D

I Tell You

I could not predict the fullness
of the day. How it was enough
to stand alone without help
in the green yard at dawn.

How two geese would spin out
of the ochre sun opening my spine,
curling my head up to the sky
in an arc I took for granted.

And the lilac bush by the red
brick wall flooding the air
with its purple weight of beauty?
How it made my body swoon,

brought my arms to reach for it
without even thinking.

*
In class today a Dutch woman split
in two by a stroke - one branch
of her body a petrified silence,
walked leaning on her husband

to the treatment table while we
the unimpaired looked on with envy.
How he dignified her wobble,
beheld her deformation, untied her

shoe, removed the brace that stakes
her weaknesses. How he cradled
her down in his arms to the table
smoothing her hair as if they were

alone in their bed. I tell you -
his smile would have made you weep.

*
At twilight I visit my garden
where the peonies are about to burst.

Some days there will be more
flowers than the vase can hold.

— Susan Glassmeyer

At the risk of sounding unduly obsequious, I must tell you I have enjoyed your reviews -- you are an excellent writer and a sensitive critic!

publicado por stellarexplorer às 12:01 am (EST) em May 12, 2009

Ashley, your review of I Think, Therefore Who Am I? has made me immediately go order it! Thank you!

Ashley, this seems like the kinda thing you were asking about on Entheogens the other month. Haven't read it, but look at this: http://www.librarything.com/work/6214203

Hi Ashley,

Noticed you liked Trainspotting, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a group of disturbed kids and a bit dark (like Trainspotting). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Chris

Hey, Ashley. I see you're somewhat active today, so I thought I'd drop in. I got your letter, and the drawing. Thanks. It brought back old times when I actually sat down with pen and inks and drew dragons and other fantastic stuff.

publicado por copyedit52 às 5:24 pm (EST) em Mar 10, 2009

Ashley:

I'm glad you liked it, both the story and the writing (which I work hard at and do take pride in). But I guess I should have made it clearer that when Carl jumped out the window, he died. He hit the pavement five floors down. The Anne in that scene, and before then--when Carl offers me their pad and she rocks on the floor--was the St. Annie of Dylan's song. Patrick Malone, by the way, whose real name was Patrick Murphy, played Jesus Christ in Leary's college road show (he took it on the road from Millbrook). But he was such a distinct character that Leary changed the line, "Rise up, Jesus!" to merely "Rise up, Patrick!" Or so I've heard (I never saw the road show). Or Patrick old me that; he could be a braggart. As for Prime Green and the unfairness of life, I agree, but when I dwell on that, it's hard to write, so I push it aside.

Can you write a review for me somewhere? Amazon? Library Thing?

publicado por copyedit52 às 9:37 am (EST) em Feb 18, 2009

Yes, I see that my book came up on your profile, and also amidst "the recent activity" on my own page. In my own obsessive way (you're about to step into my mind, to experience this, for better or worse), I'll be recalling what I've written as if for the first time. A communion of sorts. I like that.

publicado por copyedit52 às 10:54 am (EST) em Feb 9, 2009

Hey, Ashley, thanks for replying, and most certainly I'll be your friend. I can use all the friends I get, particularly during cabin fever season here in upstate New York. I can use readers too: my book is available online from amazon, barnes&noble, powells books, and maybe some other places I don't know about. I don't encounter Mel Lyman in it, or mention my visit to his Boston commune, but I met (and was fucked over by) other false gurus and crackpots back then, and got pretty blissfully high, of course. I guess I did a lot of entheogens too, though I still don't know what that covers.

publicado por copyedit52 às 6:13 pm (EST) em Jan 22, 2009

As a matter of fact, I do. The best horror lives in short stories, and it just so happens that there are three very good anthologies available: "The dark descent" and "The foundations of fear," both edited by David G. Hartwell, and "A century of horror: 1970-1979" edited by David Drake. Also, there's a Shirley Jackson short story called, "The lottery," that has to be read. It's not in the above anthologies, but worth finding.

Cheers

I just read your review for Good Morning, Midnight and it made me laugh out loud. I haven't read the book, so my laugh was purely based on your words. Thanks for the pick-me-up.

publicado por saucybetty às 7:40 pm (EST) em Sep 21, 2008

Yes, I suspect that you do, although it both is and ain't what it used to be. http://www.librarything.com/work/5342718.... Venice Beach, Santa Cruz, Arcata, Ashland, Portland, Astoria and Seattle are good candidates, too.

ABB, have you heard of Valancourt Books? Their editor is among us (valancourtbooks), and they specialize in (among others) Gothic horror http://www.valancourtbooks.com/gothiccla.... I dunno, I thought of you when I perused the catalog...

Ashley:

Pardon my eavesdropping, but I chanced on your question to michaelstevens re: the Mind----ers book.

I owned the original issues of Rolling Stone with the Felton articles on Mel's cult, but I have never seen the the subsequent book ANYWHERE. I think that the title kept it out of the mainstream book stores and the subject matter kept it out of the head shops. I will be on the look out for it.

Welcome to Books Compared. I enjoyed your review of Cruddy. I haven't read it, but we get Lynda Barry's strips in our local alternative newspaper, and I love them. Hope you'll join the discussion and maybe feel inspired to post a comparison review!
