I am just cutting and pasting from Alison's blog below. http://theatrenotes.blogspot.com/ But it is very difficult not to think of Silvan Tomkins writings here. (I only have the Sedwick and Frank reader but maybe, just maybe, his all four volumes may arrive on my messy book cases.) Poetry is, above all, an approach to the truth of feeling," says Muriel Rukeyser. For Rukeyser, life and poetry are very nearly synonyms. They are a dance, an exchange, an invitation. I would say that of most arts, and claim it an especial quality of the theatre. The negation of feeling, its complexities, its realness, results in waste and injury, a necrosis of denial that infects every area of public and private life. Truthfulness is beyond mere honesty: "If we settle for honesty," said Rukeyser, "we are selling out." -- have chronic fatigue syndrome so may be delayed in reply or brain fog weird just to let you know that's all, Chris Jones.
