Impressive work - must be fascinating to have access to Prynne's papers. I'm assuming he's that 'Science Sam' guy right?

Also got to pat myself on the back for spotting the 'classics in paraphrase' Pound quote earlier in the thread, and identifying it as a key line for what Prynne was doing with this poem. :cool:

And another one here in Chicago

Watched the first of those videos.

He's a real charmer, flatters the French audience, talks eloquently about a painting he saw in Paris, plays some nice relaxing lyre music. Then he goes and spoils all the nice vibes by reading Refuse Collection.

every time I look at the "big book" I feel guilt because there's a parcel I've been meaning to post and I'm too fucking lazy to walk to the post office, but on the other hand I still haven't found the "cine novel" of "Last Year in Marienbad" that should be in the package, so... still...the poster who sent me the "big book" will eventually get a parcel.. one day...

I still pick it up regularly, keep chipping away. It was practically all I read for about 2 months when I first got it. It's not a book you can ever 'finish' in any meaningful sense is it?

I'm digging it out again tonight, might read Pearls that Were again with those annotations that Luka posted upthread.

Here's my top ten Prynne, not in order, the ones I've spent most time with.

Kitchen Poems
Day Light Songs
White Stones
Brass
Wound Response
High Pink on Chrome
Down Where Changed
Bands Around the Throat
Pearls that Were
Refuse Collection
