Blog update: Many new days - journal entries and photographs - from
"Crossing the Millenium, 1999." February 2 - 7 - for example - the journal
finds itself casting about much - including Edgar Allan Poe - in Richmond,
Virginia. Then back to San Francisco at the Antiquarian Book Fair among
books, photographs, et al. Example:
Saturday, February 13, 1999
Grotesque. The grotesque photograph. The man, the half-naked man with the
solid, ballooned-out white hips. The hair around his penis. The shrunken
penis. The swollen white hips. The Civil War. The man some way wounded in
the Civil War. His torso inside a white, dress shirt and dark, button-down,
formal vest. The face alert. His face talking or not. ³I am being
photographed. These are my white swollen hips. The Civil War. I was in the
War. This is my Doctor. This is the photographer. There is no peace. I am
swollen. The War. A swelling. I carry. Around my hips. Inside. You cannot
see it. But outside. You can. The Civil. White. Solid. I donıt want to. But
I do. Forever. Carry. I carry this War.²
