Ooh wonderful - Arabic translation of Babies in the Tomatoes.... just what I have always wanted

Supermarket in California in Arabic. Only those who understand the need for this will understand the joy!

I follow this blog already, but hadn't ever thought to search for this in its archive.

Now to find a friend to translate Cid Corman with me. Should I just sit there in a cafe every Friday with my papers/CC all over the table and see if someone wonderful comes along, just like that, provided by the universe? In the same way that Cid Corman himself was provided to me by the universe..

Summer with Allen Ginsberg

We thought we were going to give Howl a second week, but now it seems as if we may be here all summer. The more we look, the more we see. We are getting used to reading it out section by section, we switch readers each time the line starts from the very left. I love hearing the others' voices reading on and on.

I misremembered Kaddish, but have just had a careful look at it. It is less shocking the more slowly I read it. It makes more sense.

Babies in the tomatoes I love this too, much shorter and easier.

Motherboard - Howl

Motherboard

T drove off to pick up speakers and an amp. He showed me the inside of the amp. It was so beautiful, sparkling clean and individual looking. Every mother bord I have ever seen is so artistically designed, I have seen quite a few since T started to be interested in electronics aged 6 or so.

I made happy noises, then told him to take some photos of it, he already had!

Howl

We are getting ever closer towards performance poetry now, which will mean watching videos on YouTube, but for the moment we are each still reading out the entirety of the pieces we study together. This will be the longest yet by far. I am typing here while I do the photocopying. Being a lax leader..normally I do all this straight after each Sunday evening session. I should be in the car already.
