friend william

We came ashore with tinder boxes and banners, our nostrils tangled with smoke tendrils curled in a lingering question mark. We carried his body over hill and hallow, scabbards scraping over cairn and the bleached cormorant bones of Hawk's Piece. We planted him beneath willow boughs and I had looked into his eyes, able body rope bound, a candle at his feet, a coin in his mouth; the body of friend William to buy the home-blown win

The laws of Kant are categories of deeds and offenses and these are wise bound up in The Imperative. Likewise, the history

signs and portents

0 min read

This is Margaret Cannell's 1933 collection of signs, omens and portents of Nebraska, published by the English department of the University of Nebraska.  I really take a delight in reading collections of folklore and a number of twentieth century anthologies do a great job of cataloging popular mythology.  One of my favorite anthologies is Richard M. Dorson's Buying the Wind.  Dorson spent quite a lot of time interviewing older folks in the sixties and seventies who came of age before the onslaught of better living through empty materialism.  Their stories strike at something wild and protean; the Pennsylvania Dutch maintained a body of work r
