July 4: I woke up last night at around 11:30 and stayed awake until midnight because I had to take some medicine then. To have something to occupy me, I did an Internet search on my name. I'm always curious to see where I am in the world, at least so far as the Internet can tell me, but hadn't check for several months. Anyway, I came across
this, a variation on my "Mathemaku No. 10" by the late David Daniels. He'd honored me with another piece I knew of, but never knew of this one. Needless to say, this one delighted me. (As had the other.) I think I will be influenced in my art by it. The text of the human figure, by the way, is from an autobiographical piece of mine. Aside from its being about me, and a response to a poem of mine, I loved the sophisticated folk-artishness of it, the wonderful colors, its sequentiality. Gotta do something with its kind of sequentiality myself--a poem calling another, moving, poem to it, and the two becoming a larger poem.
A huge regret: David's not being around to thank.
Report on my review: I typed 103 words of it yesterday, most of them quoted from the author of the poem under review, Vernon Frazer. Close to pathetic, but something.
