Looking forward to the George Scarbrough symposium at @reinhardt_university this weekend, as they prepare to open their new archives dedicated to the poet. Hopefully we’ll get to do a bit of trout fishing afterwards too. The lineup of speakers is strong and I am glad to see his work receiving some overdue academic attention. This is something I picked up a while back, the first copy of the Tennessee Poetry Journal. The lineup of writers is pretty impressive, including Ted Wright, Thomas Merton, William Stafford, Julia Randall, George Scarbrough, Frank Steele, Robert Bly, and David Ignatow. Published in the fall of 1967, I’d say it is quite a lineup for a first issue. Poem is “Trompe L’oeil” by Scarbrough. . . . #georgescarbrough #williamstafford #davidignatow #franksteele #juliarandall #thomasmerton #tedwright #robertbly #tennesseepoetryjournal #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #appalachianpoetry (at Reinhardt University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJjEXJuR2V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

DONDE LA PIEL SE QUITA ⠀ ⠀ Ser la obra extraviada de la muerte⠀ es encontrar en tu orilla el origen,⠀ ser un rayo de luna en el bosque⠀ que descubre que te encuentras en su centro.⠀ Habré de regresar,⠀ habré de quitarme la piel⠀ para caer sobre tu alma,⠀ para entrar,⠀ salir de tu boca.⠀ sacudo umbrales en esta confesión⠀ con discurso profético,⠀ después de haber deshecho tu libertad.⠀ Reconozcámonos en el sitio señalado:⠀ en ese sitio donde el guante⠀ se quita para abofetear a la verdad.⠀ donde tus manos,⠀ habitan una paloma⠀ y toco aquello que me designo.⠀ Sitio en que mi pan es tu vino⠀ y mi vino es tu otoño muerto.⠀ mientras, suspendidas vamos en la materia,⠀ cruzamos fondo,⠀ balanceándonos hacia donde la lluvia huye⠀ y narrar abandona el sueño,⠀ donde la piel se quita.⠀ ⠀ WHERE THE SKIN IS REMOVED⠀ ⠀ Be the lost work of death⠀ is to find on your shore the origin,⠀ be a moonbeam in the forest⠀ that discovers that you are in its center.⠀ I will return,⠀ I will have to take off my skin⠀ To fall on your soul⠀ to enter,⠀ out of your mouth⠀ I shake thresholds in this confession⠀ with prophetic speech,⠀ After having undone your freedom.⠀ Let us recognize ourselves in the indicated place:⠀ in that place where the glove⠀ He takes off to slap the truth.⠀ where your hands⠀ they inhabit a dove⠀ and I play what I designate.⠀ Site where my bread is your wine⠀ And my wine is your dead autumn.⠀ while suspended we go on the matter,⠀ we cross bottom,⠀ swaying where the rain flees⠀ and narrate leaves the dream,⠀ Where the skin is removed.⠀ ⠀ Susana Chávez⠀ & Julia Randall (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #illust #illustration #illustrations #illustrationart #illustrationartits #illustrationartist #illustratror #illustrated #illustrate #illustratrice #illustration_best #illustree #illustrarts #illustrationage #retroart #newcontemporary #lowbrowart #lowbrowpopsurrealists #weirdart #surrealismartcommunity #surrealportrait #surreal #surrealart #surrealism #beautifulbizarre #popsurrealism #jesuislesurrealisme #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #juliarandall https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lA-hDoyg7/?igshid=193ccit74lszg
