Manuel Lopez highlights an Aram Saroyan interview about Ted Berrigan.

Good stuff, especially the focus on Sonnet 15.

Can’t say I’m a Berrigan fan, but this interview has me wanting to read more.

Let the countdown begin! The official trailer for ‘The Dark Knight’ is up.

No spoilers here since any fan should know that Heath Ledger is the Joker. Ledger seems to be a solid choice but I still think Crispin Glover was born to play Psycho-Killer-Joker (as opposed to Jack Nicholson’s more PG Silver Age version). A solid second choice would have been Paul Bettany.

Now the real questions is what will Harvey Dent be doing in this film? Cuz while the Joker is deeply entrenched as Batman’s main nemesis, it’s Two Face who is Bruce Wayne’s evil doppelgänger. Nuff speculation, bring on the trailers!

yes, i am getting ready for my reading and plan to have some serious fun tonight. speakin of fun, i love the new Dos Equis commerials! i only hear the radio ones but they crack me completely up.

uhhm, now that i think about it, our follow up writing assignment is to create an alter ego and have that alter ego construct a poem. maybe i will use this commercial as an outline for my character. you know, i didnt mean for this to be a poetry poet but i guess thats the way the ball bounces.

stay thirsty, my friends. stay thirsty.

When it is raining, it is because he is sad.

The police often question him, just because they find him interesting.

Even his parents’ advice is insightful.

If there were an interesting gland, his would be larger than most men’s entire lower intestines.

He once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn’t admit it.

Even if he forgets to put postage on his mail, it gets there.

If a monument was built in his honor, Mt. Rushmore would close, due to poor attendance.

He once punched a magician. That’s right. You heard me.

You can see his charisma from space.

When he orders a salad, he gets the dressing right there on top of the salad, where it belongs…where there is no turning back.

“We are what we do, especially what we do to change what we are… A literature born in the process of crisis and change, and deeply immersed in the risks and events of its time, can indeed help to create the symbols of the new reality, and perhaps—if talent and courage are not lacking—throw light on the signs along the road… To claim that literature on its own is going to change reality would be an act of madness or arrogance. It seems to me no less foolish to deny that it can aid in making this change.”
