A Letter From Hammertown
...to the person who dumped four
green bags of garbage
behind the pad of Edwardian aggregate
resting on a knob of slate
out of which which flapped
insect wing fern fossils
a prescription for child's ear medicine
full cost covered (thank you BC Med)
revealed your address:
(withheld)
but let's not go there anyway
don't use the pickup
but perform the perimeter slow
as an August afternoon sniffwalk
then follow that very crooked track
whither will it wandered surrounded
then build a fence at eye level
over which we can tip
whatever sad shit the blackberry
can beneath a half-decade
of thickening barbs chew
with green teeth or pick
cleaner with gleaner planks,
whatever the water table
can't (or won't) hold down--
fastened then driven then hid
with certain care a split lid
randomized by ravens & raccoons
flattened by rain braille rime tuned
melancholic generic cola root beer
box saw you sit & sip with your sore ear.

Daily Kos: The Lies of Christopher Hitchens
Hitchens sacrificed his principles on the altar of the Second Gulf War. His legacy consists of the suffering caused by that act of aggression. Hitchens has played many roles, but he is essentially a more articulate version of George W. Bush—a spoiled child of privilege who played toy soldiers with human beings.

Pool Films resulted from the creative collaboration of writers Kenneth Macpherson and Bryher (Annie Winifred Ellerman) and Imagist poet H. D. (Hilda Doolittle). Funded by Bryhers inheritance from a vast family fortune, their projects were fueled by the principals interest in film and artistic experimentation. The three were invested in developing a context in which the young medium of film might be viewed as a fine art as well as interact with other verbal and visual art forms. The Pool Films productions, which were directed by Macpherson and often featured H. D. and Bryher as actors, experimented with narrative forms and explored the use of dramatic lighting and effects such as montage to represent emotional and psychological states.
Monkeys Moon, a film featuring two of his and Bryhers pet monkeys, was thought to be lost until the Beinecke Library acquired a copy in 2008. Some eighty years later, this film has been fully restored and digitized. Learn more at the Beinecke Library: http://bit.ly/xjlqn
