Poem: The Creek

By Jack Brummet




The creek alongside me
Carries raindrops, tears, sweat, and snow
That may once have landed

In Johannesburg, Soho,
Bucerias, Constantinople,
Athens, Ketchikan, or Saskatoon.

Marginalia in a Harvard University copy of Ezra Pound's cantos

By Jack Brummet, Poetry Editor

Ezra Pound, who made all the famous cuts and marginal comments in T.S. Eliot's Waste Land, gets the sama marginalia treatment from the undergrad and grad students at Harvard.  This is a shot of one of the circulating copies of the book in their library.  This is really appropos of nothing at all; I just love marginalia, corrected proofs and manuscripts, and in general, the now soon to be lost analog methods of interacting with text.

Matt Drudge hits a new low (how is this even possible?)

By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor

Thanks Jeff Clinton for passing this along...

To add to the Alex Jones hysteria, Matt Drudge decides to jump the shark, and this is a new low for even him. . . He clearly does not understand the history or scope of executive orders, or recognize the fact that BHO--despite the gun and ammo buying hysteria that accompanied his election--has never been particularly anti-gun/2nd amendment. It's been a long time since Drudge broke anything important. His descent into total irrelevancy is now complete.
