  • anyone know the name of the song by kottke?

  • Why I like this is , is that it's ambient storytelling...means not the end,it does not

    necessarily have to have a point to it, and with this in in mind, we can create what

    we want, in any medium; the 'point' lies with who's beholding it.

  • And did you get what

    you wanted from this life, even so?

    I did.

    And what did you want?

    To call myself beloved, to feel myself

    beloved on the earth.

  • Carver's legacy as a major American writer is secure.

    Quite frankly, I don't like his poetry. Most of it seems to be prose, upon which he imposed arbitrary line breaks. But his best stories will endure. And I encourage anybody who cares about good writing to read Carver's nonfiction -- his book reviews, essays, etc. in "Call if You Need Me." They reveal an intelligent man with a very appealing personality:) --

  • He was one of the finest authors who have ever existed. His writing is beautiful. The sublime in the mundane. And I don't mean that disparagingly. It is uncanny. His poetry is amongst the best. A great loss to the world. Peace Carver x

  • thanks for posting this movie. been a rc fan for years, reading his bio (christmas gift). seeing, hearing him speak, adds to the enjoyment of his stories, who he was...

  • I grew up in and around Port Angeles. Hopefully he will inspire the bumpkins from there to think a little.....probably not though. Ha ha whasabook? Shoot, ninety some percent of the folk around there don't even know who he is.  An article in a recently read news publication interviewed a high school English teacher in Sequim who had NEVER HEARD OF RAYMOND CARVER. Wow. I'm glad I moved.

    (Read Sherman Alexie if you're into contemporary NW writers; you'll like him, too)

  • We vanish soon enough

    Soon enough eaten up

    Simple elegant truth

  • Thanks.
