Things Geometry and Otherwise

So I’ve recapped my “traditional” fiction publications at this point. I think I might be in an evolutionary process of changing my subject matter, the main clue to that appearing in my next four (or five) posts, all published earlier here. As with my fiction posts, these will be retrospectives, a bit on my interest in them, and something of a segue from one to those following. Many thanks for…

Simone de Beauvoir, from "Inseraparable: A Never Before Published Novel,"

[TEXT ID: / [Lemons] / My father's mother loved lemons. Years after her passing, / we run out of everything, but never / lemons. / Nothing else shelters grief / better than memory. / It's my father way of saying, / even in your absence, you will be / cared by me. / END ID]

Buy her a book with your favorite sentence underlined that made you stop reading and think of her.

Victoria Chang, from Dear Memory: Letters on Writing, Silence, and Grief; “Dear Teacher,”

[Text ID: “The language of poetry reminded me to stay alive. It reminded me that, when it felt like I had nothing, I was nothing, I still had words. I could ride language as if on a horseback, and it could take me anywhere, including deeply into myself.”]

Come, shining lyre, speak to me--gain the power of utterance. ἄγι δὴ χέλυ δῖα μοι λέγε φωνάεσσα δὲ γίνεω. --Sappho, fr. 118

writing is so unglamorous; it’s such a privilege to do it.

Another Girl headcanon, but I think she has really good memory, except rather than the stereotypical "being able to remember every detail, even the ones you weren't paying attention to" good memory, her memory just allows her to remember the things she pays attention to for much longer than any normal person would. Like, no, she doesn't remember where she put her bag 5 minutes ago, yes, she could tell apart Party Poison's mask from later reproductions based solely by feel and color beed because she got curious about it 10 years ago when she overheard Chimp and Pony complain about the items that had come into the Zones lately feeling "cheap". What about it?

Vladimir Mayakovsky, from a letter featured in "Love in the Heart of Everything; The Correspondence between Vladimir Mayakovsky & Lili Brik, 1915-1930,"

[fairydrowning]

– Bianca Sparacino, Instagram account "rainbowsalt"

[TEXT ID: Little things that aren't little at all — Eye contact. "I admire the way you see the world." Comfortable silence. "This made me think of you." Sharing music (a love language) "You make me feel less alone." Kept promises. Chosen family. "Text me when you get home." When someone remembers a small detail about you, or a story you care about told. The way someone you says your name. "Go look at the sky right now." Reciprocity. "See you soon." Finding human beings who care just as deeply as you. "I like the way I feel when I am with you." Feeling like you've known someone forever, even though you just met. "I'm proud of you." END ID]
