Thanks for reminder about Outlaw Bible. I've taken it off the shelf and put it on top of the Che biography. A first step. The d a levy poem is an inspiration.
I'm bogged down in Che, but I hate to give up since I'm more than halfway through it. My life is mapped out in books. I thrive on the details of non-fiction. You have to wade through a lot of dreck, but then there are moments of clarity about the subject that make it worth the slog. Unlike Sherlock Holmes, my mind is cluttered with those, but they often give me inspiration for a poem or at least a line. There's also the ego trip of knowing more than most people about something long forgotten in the hurly burly of what's new.
I was underwhelmed by Heath Ledger's Joker, after Joaquin's, and now I see there's a sequel coming out in 2024. Something to live for.
Someone should make a film about Poe's last days. As I remember it, they are a mystery, that is, they can't account for his whereabouts during those last two or three days.
It feels like a preternatural, I'm not sure what that word means, holiday. I feel the spirits of American history along the lamp posts of the night.
The theory I read is that he was bribed with too much alcohol and then taken to vote for the party of the briber's choice and then cut loose. Shanghaied for democracy. Nothing more dangerous than the demos.
