Arts Flash: Proposal — A More Creative Approach to Teaching Writing

I believe a Bauhaus-type approach might help lead to needed reform in the teaching of creative writing.

“Anti-Entropy and Uncle Order”: A Dispatch from William Kentridge’s Sixth Norton Lectures

Over the past 6 weeks William Kentridge has shown the form of the lecture itself to be obsolete. But over the course of his returns to the podium, he has shown us that the lecture’s fate is not so dire as he had induced us —- for seventy minutes at a stretch -— to believe.

“The Bad Backwards Walking” — A Dispatch from William Kentridge’s Fourth Norton Lecture

William Kentridge spoke of the value of using a mirror to re-learn what he already knew how to do; the clear implication was that we are daily surrounded by mirror-images that we do not see for themselves but that hold the potential to alter our relationships to our tools and to our visions.

Fuse Feature: Vertical and Contingent — A Dispatch from William Kentridge’s Norton Lectures

The decisions William Kentridge makes in his minute to-ings and fro-ings are akin to the decisions a poet makes as she works her measure over and over again.

Fuse Dispatches: The Benefits of Doubt — A Dispatch from the Second of William Kentridge’s Norton Lectures

For William Kentridge history accrues, falls dead, is born, washes up, piles up, and may be artfully arranged, but the most powerful place that this accretion might happen is in the artist’s studio, which is a metonym for the human mind.

Fuse Dispatches: Lessons Drawn — William Kentridge’s “Six Drawing Lessons”

After hearing just the first of William Kentridge’s six Norton Lectures, I have no doubt that this series of “Drawing Lessons” will be one of the most entertaining and enlightening artistic events of 2012.

Poetry Review: Nobel Laureate Tomas Tranströmer’s Divided Self

Certainly part of the power of Tomas Tranströmer’s poetry resides in how, having established a jagged consciousness, he leaves us in between—in a world full of questions that are not easily resolved.

Poetry Review: Henri Cole’s “Touch” — Love Thy Neighbor, Like Thyself

Is it true that if I love my neighbor I can, or will, like myself? This question cuts to the heart of the poems in Heni Cole’s volume “Touch,” and the answer is yes.

By: Daniel Bosch Filed Under: Books, Featured Tagged: American, Henri Cole, Poetry, sonnet, Touch

Poetry Review: Heaney Still

Must age diminish a great poet’s strengths? If I grant that age has such power, I’m left to ponder the truly strange fact that death does not.

By: Daniel Bosch Filed Under: Books, Review, World Books Tagged: Human Chain, Irish, Poetry, Seamus Heaney

Poetry Review: Portrait of a Predicament

I wouldn’t be writing this review or asking you to read this book if I didn’t believe that McLane were up to something far more radical and also far more difficult to reckon with—something I am not even sure I can account for. The most significant quality of the poetry in “World Enough” is a profound and unapologetic ambiguity.
