GERRY LOOSE, UNFINISHED ~

There is nothing "unfinished" about

this hut, or this book —

it's up off the ground

the door opens and closes

the rain barrel is in place

the windows look out

the roof is on

the book is built

masterfully, quietly,

the two are there

(there's work to be done

the "unfinished" part)

waiting for you

SCOTLAND ~

Photograph of Morven Gregor, and I just love it! You want to wave back.

The photograph is taken by Bryan Evans at Old Kilpatrick on the Forth & Clyde Canal.

"Old Kilpatrick close to our boat - maybe a mile or so," my friend the Scottish poet Gerry Loose tells me in a letter today.

A poem (or more) will be offered by the hour or with the day and at the very least once a week. So stay on your webbed toes. The aim is to share good hearty-to-eat poetry. This is a birdhouse size file from the larger Longhouse which has been publishing from backwoods Vermont since 1971 books, hundreds of foldout booklets, postcards, sheafs, CD, landscape art, street readings, web publication, and notes left for the milkman. Established by Bob & Susan Arnold for your pleasure.

The Woodcutter Talks by Bob Arnold

Stone Hut by Bob Arnold

"Once again, my friends, this is your best book! Exquisite in design, fat enough to be a feast, pretty enough to just wade around in, but deep enough to dive into and stay with, all I can say is WOW, you guys really did it – it’s the first of its kind, a scrapbook novel that is also a how-to and a mystery -- how did he do it, and how does he make rocks balance like Thor? — Gerald Hausman" ~
