ANTIGONE: If that is what you think, I should not want you, even if you asked to come. You have made your choice, you can be what you want to be. But I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down With him in death, and I shall be as dear To him as he to me.

– "ANTIGONE", sophocles, trans. dudley fitts & robert fitzgerald.

The Litany of Thorn Branches concerns the lunar manse wanderings of Qayin […] Thus did the recluse wanderer Abd al-Qadir Jilani compare scars with roses and gave unto them mystical attributes. The Litany may also serve as an enactment of the ritual murder of Abel, the responses being accompanied by thorn-pricks. For where a thorn is tended a rose may ever grow!

From The Psalter of Cain / Psalterium Caini, published 2012; Robert Fitzgerald, Andrew Chumbley, Daniel Schulke, and Others (My Ko-Fi Here)

Since you do not care for Emily Wilson's Odyssey, what translation do you recommend instead? (Your art is lovely btw)

Hi! Im finally getting through my inbox, apologies.

My personal favorite is Fitzgerald, I think his translation is really beautiful and also very easy to read out loud. Im a huge fan of his fancier word choice. I think he captures the lyrical nature of the Odyssey beautifully, without delving into overly confusing sentence structure. His translation feels very natural, giving the text a sense of weight and power that I feel it needs as a classic, without trapping it with overly dusty, complex prose.

just his opening, to me, is so nice. "Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end, after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy"

To bear in mind though: if you really don't like flowery language, you probably won't care much for his, since it's a fair bit more ornate than Wilson's. Also, he uses a more old fashioned system of transliterating the Greek names of people and places, which I know some people find clunky or hard to read. I didn't find it an issue when I was reading, but I'm generally not bothered by more academic/less readable transliteration so Im a little biased.

I've also read Fagles, and while I wouldn't recommend it (I found it unimaginative and clunky throughout) I believe it overall flows better than Wilson's, even if hers has the occasional bit of prose that far outshines Fagles.

#good luck finding a translation you like! there are many less popular ones out there that I would recommend taking a look at if #none of these are to your taste #bread answers #the odyssey #Emily wilson #Robert Fitzgerald #ps: thank you so much! Im really glad you enjoy my art

Hi Mike, how was Tribeca?

It was fantastic.

For those who don't know, I was lucky enough to be invited to sit on the US Narrative Feature Jury at this year's Tribeca Festival. I just got back yesterday from ten days in Manhattan.

I found the whole thing to be absolutely rejuvenating.

Our category had five jurors: myself, Zoey Deutsch, Stephanie Hsu, Tommy Oliver, and Ramin Bahrani.

Kate was also on a jury - she was on the International Feature Jury (which included Brendan Fraser and Zazie Beets) so that meant we spent the week seeing different movies. We'd pass each other on our way to different screenings, sometimes in the lobby of the theater, and then meet up for dinner or a party and get to tell each other about the awesome movies we saw that day.

It was overwhelming to start with. At the Opening Night reception, we met Robert DeNiro, and we saw Martin Scorcese and Matt Damon (we were way too timid to introduce ourselves). I did manage to introduce myself to Kenneth Lonergan, who has made some of my all-time favorite movies (You Can Count on Me is one of the best movies I've ever seen), and the great Chazz Palminteri (I got to tell him how much I absolute adore A Bronx Tale). I also spent a fair amount of time chatting with Peter Coyote, who was incredibly kind and funny. We chatted a lot about Ken Burns.

After that, we went to the Opening Night film, a terrific documentary called Kiss the Future. We walked the red carpet (something I'm never quite comfortable with, but luckily Kate is a natural) and we saw the movie with a packed house. It was a beautiful film and really started everything off on an amazing foot.

And then the judging started. I got to watch all of the movies in my category in the theater, with audiences. A car would pick me up and take me to the screening. At my busiest, I saw three movies in one day, but it was usually two.

I made it a point not to know anything about the movies before I saw them - sometimes I went in without knowing the title. And I can't overstate how amazing it was to see these independent films with an audience, in a theater, instead of streaming. Having spent the better part of the last five years watching this primarily at home, I was shocked at how inspiring and energizing it was to sit in a theater with a crowd over, and over, and over again. I've never seen this many movies in a theater in such a short time, and I LOVED it.

I didn't only see movies that were in my category, though. I also made sure I saw other films at the festival that I wasn't judging - including Downtown Owl, the directorial debut of my friends Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe.

I made a point to go to the premiere of Suitable Flesh, starring the amazing Barbara Crampton and Heather Graham, and produced by my old friends Joe Wicker and Morgan Peter Brown from the Absentia Days.

And it wasn't all movies, either - I also got to moderate a chat with the brilliant Sam Lake about his upcoming Alan Wake 2 release. Sam was a joy to spend time with, and we had a lot to talk about.

And my friend and colleague Justina Ireland traveled up to NY to moderate a Master Class where a theater full of people listened to me ramble about horror movies for an hour.

(With Justina Ireland and Johnathan Penner - Penner ran the Escape from Tribeca program, and it was his idea to bring me to the festival)

And then, just before I left, I met up with some friends to see a Broadway show. Karen Gillan and Willa Fitzgerald joined Kate and I to see Grey House.

My experience at Tribeca was fantastic. It was such an amazing celebration of art and cinema, and I can't wait to go back. I spent a lot of it feeling overwhelmed, and feeling like I didn't quite deserve my seat at the table (imposter syndrome is just one of the staples of being a filmmaker, isn't it?) but I'm so glad I went.

Robert Frost once wrote “a poem begins with a lump in the throat,” & i’ve swallowed enough words to know that if Dickinson had known we’d title her poems after she specifically didn’t, she would have sent strongly worded emails. If Hemingway knew we would disregard his own admission that there was no symbolism in the old man & the sea, he would have tweeted endlessly. If Shakespeare ever thought we’d doubt he wrote all he did, he would have blogged all of his drafts for the world to see. If Fitzgerald ever could have, he would have instagrammed a thousand photos of Zelda, each with a caption as fascinatingly juvenile & romantic as when he wrote ‘i love her & that is the beginning & the end of everything,’ only for Salinger to out do him by saying ‘she wasn't doing a thing that i could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.’ & these are the thoughts that remind me, these great minds & poets & writers of history would love to be as much a part of our world, as we do of theirs.

Update on my Police Office Comedy Aide-de camp AU. We ahve fanart now

I couldn't decide on Tilghman's hair lenght. Actually couldn't decide on anyone's hair for that matter.

Also ignor the part where Hamilton looks like a woman. I also don't know how that happened. Like I want to twink him but not THAT hard.

Yes, Harrison got a little friend. He deserves it.

Maybe I will make up an actual season plot because I have ideas.
