Art and War Drive Technology
Reading the poetry and prose and viewing the art and photography published here in various blogs have put me in a strange mood today; got me thinking about the tech that allows us to express ourselves so lucidly, so graphically.

A Season In Hell – Rimbaud and the Cruisers
My memory of Rimbaud was roused by a poem I read by one of the poets I’m following here in this forum recently (last couple of days). The poet refers to him in a line or two; and sorry, but I don’t remember which poem or poet… I do remember liking the poem. And when…
