Introduction Ein Klage-Himmel, "a lament-heaven," from Rilke's "Orpheus. Eurydike. Hermes." Poetry's post-rupture, post-lapsus, post-death-of-Eurydice dream of recreating that primal world -- Eden, childhood, Orpheus's singing -- where word and thing were one.
Interests Poetry, photography, language, translation. Metaphysical disquiet. Watching small objects moved randomly about by the wind -- dead leaves, snowflakes, scraps of paper, the surface of a puddle.
Favorite Movies Ingmar Bergman. David Lynch. Michael Haneke.
Favorite Music wind
Favorite Books poetry. theory. are there still books, really?
