Countries need their artists to portray the situations of the day.  If he did that, good for him.  I'll have to check him out, I'm very sad that Tasha Tudor died.

no, he was kind of a medievalist -- making bible pictures -- kind of like franz marc's nature-animal pictures. he was in his own space, inside his own image, and probably didn't have a clue on politics. i think max beckmann was the only arty artist who looked at the political. there are several very fine illustrators from those days, who nailed the nail, but not into hitler's coffin, unfortunately.

But unfortunately you came back and many on here are cursing the water hole you found. By the way, do pray tell us about some of your other adventures like when you Fuched off to South pole dressed only in your undepants  or the one where you had your double breasted linen body suit ironed and pressed for you  by some pygmies in the heart of a tropical forest while they rang for a taxi to take you home. Oh and it really was you who first stepped foot on the moon etc etc you  old fraud.

sounds good to me, but it would really take a pee-wee herman personality like yours to flesh this story into a novel. why not write the novel and then get back to me -- you'd learn a lot about yourself writing a novel and you could maybe, if you're a genius, see yourself in others -- only this time not with self-loathing.

Sure thing, I'll give it a try......not often do I get advice from the self appointed genius of the board. By the way how did you climb Everest without an oxygen mask, was it all that hot air that kept you going.

mount analog is this flashy and evocative book by rene' daumal -- this book was a boy's game we played when i was a boy, and i just dropped it in to see if anyone else knew that book. i think the interesting thing about you is that you need me to be not real, and i don't know if that's a good thing or not. if it makes you stronger as a poet then it's fine, but if this game of yours is just a set of anchors to keep yourself where you are -- to not "float" in uncertainty, then i'd suggest you do what i do and always tell the truth and not worry about what people think of you, as long as you think you're projecting at least a consistency and integrity about the concepts *here*, which is to say, writing poetry and talking about creativity.
