I?m Just Another Clown At the Dog ?N? Pony Show
2008-05-31 17:04:00 I read an interesting essay last year written by poet, Todd Moore in Poesy magazine called, “The Outlaw Poet.” I found myself re-reading it the other day. In it, Moore defines the outlaw poet as one who “opposes the establishment and by standing up against all self-interests of institutions which support academic poetry, the outlaw ...

Short Stories Live Forever ? It?s Only the Writers Who Die Slow, Agonizing
2008-03-13 16:59:00 A week ago, there was this brief posting about the validity of the short story on Mediabistro’s Galleycat which I found rather disturbing. I’m not really sure what I found more disturbing: the assertation from the complainers that the short story is dead because it’s no longer commercially viable or Ron Hogan’s surly ...

The Bible in Five Acts
2007-10-22 04:20:00 I very much enjoyed N.T.Wright’s book on Biblical authority, “The Last Word.” In it, he illustrates an innovative way of looking at scripture in its entirety, a way which avoids many of the pitfalls that we encounter when trying to corroborate writings that appear to have diverse, even opposing points of view. He calls it the ...

N.T.Wright on the Enlightened Church
2007-10-19 01:05:00 We are all children, grandchildren or at least stepchildren of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, and have cause to be both grateful for the consequent privileges and anxious about some of the consequent problems. So says N. T. Wright, in his little yet important book “The Last Word: Scripture and the Authority of God - Getting Beyond ...

A Trip to the Wood Shed is Not Out of the Question
2007-10-15 21:54:00 I guess I’m a glutton for punishment because, don’t you know dear readers, I was back lurking on The Gaz again this morning. I clicked on a random discussion and lo and behold, more editor-bashing. A bunch of poets whining about publication guidelines, response times — you know the usual garbage writers complain ...

The 2006 Bordeaux En Primeur Season, the last word
2007-08-08 16:47:00 Pictured on the left is Reva Singh of Sommelier India, Patrick Maroteaux, President of the UGC, Serena Sutcliffe of Sotheby's International. On the right is Georg Josef Riedel of Riedel Glas and Philippe Casteja of Chateau Batailley at a Bordeaux En Primeur dinner. Some say that the Bordeaux 2006 vintage could be as special as the famous 1982. Most critics however, argue that the 2006 are not even up to the 2005 let alone the 1982. While on the surface this might appear to be just wine critics bickering among themselves, huge amount of money are involved. How the world perceives the vintage, determines how the wines appreciate in time.

It?s Okay To Have The Last Word
2007-06-29 17:00:00 I usually get upset when my kids try to get the last word in, whether they’re arguing with me or amongst themselves. But the one time I think it’s okay is when it’s a blogger doing it. In fact, I would say it’s critical they do. I’ll explain. I was having a conversation with Mike on ...

2007-05-25 20:56:00 Book Review of Michael C. McHugh, The Second Gilded Age: The Great Reaction in the United States 1973-2000 by Ed Bloomer5/25/07When I was working on the assembly line at General Electric in 1979, a boss came down one day and gave each worker a share of stock worth $3.00. I tore mine up and threw it in the trash. Even so, the companykept it on record, and from time to time in the 1980s and ?90s contacted me to say that the stock had split and increased in value. To make a long story short, by August 2001, that lonely share of GE stock had multiplied like capitalist loaves and fishes into 90 shares?now worth $4,500. Not being much of a capitalist, I gave away my totally unearned loot to my family or the Catholic Worker community. Even so, when I imagined from this one example just how much the rich, the near-rich and the obscenely rich must have increased their wealth during this time, I understand just what Michael McHugh meant when he called it a Second Gilded Age.Anyone interested ...

Inspiration & Devotionals :: The Last Word
2007-03-02 15:31:01 Author: Eric Subject: The Last Word Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 12:11 am (GMT -5) The Last Word Jill Carattini My high school band director was adamant about many things, but none so much as what he called the obligatory rule of good musicianship. That is, the two most important notes in any musical composition are the first and the last. "The audience might forgive you for what comes in the middle," he would say, "but they will never forget your very first impression, nor your final remark." The last word of the book of Acts in the Greek New Testament is the word akolutos. The word literally means "unhindered," though many translations render it with multiple words. Others move the word from its final position for the sake of syntax. In both cases, I think something is lost in translation. Luke was intentionally making a statement with this last word of his two volume testimony to the life of Jesus Christ.(1) I think he intended readers to paus... |
