poetry and the art of recklessness

"how sad it is when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self-defence to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad
after things that are not." *john keats, july 1818
let us riot in the unattainable!
poetry is when the animal bursts forth, inflamed.

*and dean young is spectacular to have written this essay in poets&writers magazine

fleiz ano nuevo

feliz ano nuevo! 2010!

i have begun my travels in Europe!

still a bit jet lagged...but i have at least tasted jamon serrano with sweetened
yolk strands and (for the tradition in spain) gobbled down 10 of the 12 or 14 grapes that were on my new years plate!

and to kick up the peruvian tradition...i wore BRAND NEW YELLOW underwear (thanks, Mom! and Holly!) and a striking YELLOW sweater. yellow is to promote good luck in Peru when you don it upon ringing in the new year. and for my american tradition...CHAMPAGNE!!

namaste, 2010.
please, don´t kick my ass as much as 2009. my heart murrmur can´t take it.

**MORE TO COME ON MY MISSION OF THIS BLOG
AND (more importantly) MY LIFE**
