Patti Smith on How She Writes a Song
Patti::: Because I had so much responsibility to others. If I was writing lyrics to someone’s music, I had responsibility to that musician. I had to project beyond myself and beyond my world out into the greater world. Allen Ginsberg told me, “If you have trouble writing, just write what you mean.” [Laughs] And that’s a good lesson when you’re trying to write a song.

Poet Leonard Cohen
We're very inspired by Folkways Records’ 1957 collection Six Montreal Poets, an album whose collectibility has grown over the years... along with Canadian Leonard Cohen’s fame.
As poet, novelist and most influentially as a late-starting singer-songwriter, Montreal’s most celebrated son left an indelible mark on the past five-plus decades.
Rest in Peace, dear soul... OBIT
Tuesday Terrific Thought
In an interview with Deloria at the Library of Congress at the 2002 National Book Festival, he opened his talk with a story about giving expert witness testimony. He said the U.S. attorney questioning Deloria said that he knew Indians were called Indians because Columbus was seeking India when he stumbled on North America.
“Yeah,” Deloria shot back, “We’ve always been happy he wasn’t looking for Turkey.”

december poetry | we're dying
And the funerals begin…
Small communities, cities, towns,
Cancer deaths,
Worldwide…
And tying them all to one
Slow deliberate
Extinction
My brother told me about the mold,
Danny and his wife were renters…
They said it was in their walls, both got the same cancer,
Brain cancer she had first… doctors used radiation and chemo so
Now her brain is mush, really fried,
She is like an old woman, my brother said.
And then he had surgery, some lung cancer,
They got it all and he told me his lung was growing back,
but the cancer spread to his brain next…
Worldwide
Worldwide
We're dying
this is Danny Bland who I lost
we must find a cure... xoxoxox Lara Trace
they were dirty
