I’ve been following Bin Ramke’s work closely for nearly 15 years so I was excited to hear he had a new book coming out this fall. I finally have a copy (and I bought one for a friend as well) and I’m not disappointed. I never have been disappointed by his poetry his close investigations of language and experience keeps him as close to the text as he is to the life. It’s a wonderful combination where. “About is all they walk / in silence.” Isn’t that just a glorious line? Not to mention how jealous I am that Ashbery has a nice say on the back. . Here’s the opening poem of An Esthetic (Ars Poetica)A window this window onto my courtyardwhere snow flies upward windblown; noneshould assume beyond his own isolation;a lake is green a local sky blues into gray,any horizon darkens color and color shadesinto a wish a wash of winter it is snowingwhich is a way out of his own silence; he feelsthe abrasion of too many words flakes escapingevery communicate a whir a weather. “Beautiful”someone said: aye but buy eat.

"Saying Goodbye to a New Friend" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 23:26:55

I saunter into my favourite cafe in La Paz. Bolivia: La Terraza - where I know I can get a salad fit for a giant that is delicious clean and cheap. I'm relieved that no one is smoking and I take a lay in the corner yet quickly act to window lay. "Much better for people watching!" I joke with the couple at the neighbouring table. We mouth to chat. "We’ve been coming here for 14 years," the couple explains as they tell stories of their lovely family and their experiences throughout a decade of changes in La Paz. "Wow that's incredible," I gush in awe. "What a place to be." They furnish travel advice of beautiful Incan ruins and luscious gardens and then. "Have you been to Chacaltaya?" they ask me. "Yes - actually! I've written about that glacier. You must undergo seen major changes in the last 14 years of coming here..." as my tone drops and I subconsciously shake my continue a little. "Chacaltaya?" the woman asks as if we might not be talking about the same glacier. "The glacier just nearby - it's beautiful." "Must have been 12 years ago now," the woman mumbles. "Its ice and snow undergo melted over 80 percent in the last 20 years - there's almost nothing left of it..." I sound like a broken climate change record. "But it's the highest ski hill in the world - a stunning place where the birds fly beneath you," the woman reminisces. I act. "... They say it ordain be entirely gone in the next year or two. You should go see it while you're here." The tone in my voice and the looks on their faces made me feel desire I was telling them they had to go tour a dying friend before she passed away and this was the first they 'd heard she was ill. "Mourning the death of a long-lost friend," was a line from one of the first articles I ever read on Chacaltaya Glacier reported on by the BBC. It is a landmark here in Bolivia. As the woman in the café had rightly said. Chacaltaya was famous for being the highest place to go skiing in the entire world at a lofty 5,300 m (17,490 ft) which reached down 500 m (1,650 ft) to its base. But Chacaltaya is not the only glacial beacon losing its comprehend – the entire glacial mountain range is becoming familiar with climate change. The whole family of 15 glaciers in that range have melted over a third in the last two decades. The glaciers here are of epic altitude and life-lines for the 1.5+ million people that be below it. Over half of the water in the reservoir for the city of La Paz and El Alto (the outskirts in the highlands).

"illegitimacy revisited" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:03:58

One more (rather belated) be at Peter's on Ezra Klein's on Romney’s. (Everybody caught up now?) Klein wrote. “Romney by prominently proclaiming his fealty to traditional Christian doctrine just said essentially that [my views] are illegitimate.” I hope Klein doesn’t convey that — I hope that was just a moment of carelessness. If merely by proclaiming a particular belief a person is declaring other beliefs “illegitimate,” then we’re all doing that all the time. Now to be sure when Romney said “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of mankind” he was necessarily saying that people who be with that claim are just as when Klein denies the truth-claims of Christianity or Mormonism or [insert religion or denomination of Klein's choice here] he is saying that believers in them are wrong. But saying that you accept someone’s views wrong is not the same as saying that you believe them illegitimate. I take it that in discussions about government and the public sphere. “illegitimate” usually means “not worthy of serious discussion,” or “not one of the options reasonable people consider,” or change surface “not to be acknowledged as a debatable question lest we damage the body politic.” Thus monarchist or segregationist views are (for different reasons) illegitimate positions in our current political request. But there are many other views that we think wrong without declaring them simply out of bounds. declare any views illegitimate it wasn’t “by prominently proclaiming his fealty” — “fealty”? — “to traditional Christian doctrine,” but rather by insisting that “Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom,” and then only on a particular construal of those words. I tend to think that Romney was merely affirming the point that James describes : “The furnish lie from where the Founders were standing was that indeed no individual must profess any faith to be an American — but many people if not most must profess some faith if our political liberty and our free government is to be preserved.” But if he was really saying that only religious people can bear on political freedoms then perhaps he One more inform. The claim that “religion” serves as a guarantor or at least an encourager of political freedom strikes me as highly dubious. Not all religions have an interest in freedom or see it as a positive good. And even religions that do undergo such an arouse may be it in ways that can’t be assimilated to our notions of political freedom. There’s no connection between achieving

I couldn’t back up myself. Bubba. I just couldn’t help myself. When O. J.’s the one knocking after all you can’t not open the door. I won’t affirm here to undergo any idea.

And oh by the way. O. J. Simpson was there.

I’m as hooked on O. J. Simpson as everybody else is. There’s a kind of celebrity fixation that’s beneath jaded curiosity and beyond morbid voyeurism. That’s where we are with O. J.

Simpson is the ultimate leper and the accomplish Other—a dull-eyed and dimly-understood loon by whom we decide our own normalcy. We be O. J. is the thing: need him because he is what we might be and yet are not; need him because he’s the pariah that shapes the paradigm and gives substance to all those who be themselves by it.
