'I'm no art critic, but I know what I hate. This I don't hate.'
Monty Burns to Marge Simpson regarding her portrait of him
Dear Friends,
Pentagrams In Snow 11 shall be taking place on Monday the 13th. For it we have created a linguistic gallery of portraits with words by writers of my choosing. It should make for a worthwhile evening. For my part I have been working on a couple of pieces that should hopefully have a fragile beauty that some may find difficult, but that anyone who has a heart will understand. We'll see..
And just as there are no words for the surface, that is,
No words to say what it really is, that is not
Superficial but a visible core, then there is
No way out of the problem of pathos vs. experience.
You will stay on, restive, serene in
Your gesture which is neither embrace nor warning
But which holds something of both in pure
Affirmation that doesn't affirm anything.
