'the night looks different
already on july the sixth,
for tomorrow, once a year,
the weaver (vega) meets her lover (altair)...'
- masuo basho in the narrow road to the deep north.
this story forming the basis of the star festival which will have started last night.
alfred watkins
meanwhile while he was in hereford horsemouth saw a blue plaque for alfred watkins, early photographer and ley-line theorist author of the old straight track. apparently hereford museum has extensive holdings of his works and photographs.
horsemouth should have a hunt through his books on photography to see if he has any of watkins' work already. watkins supplied the photographs for d.r. chapman's hereford, herefordshire snd the wye.
so horsemouth got his fourth installment written (and very pleased he is with it too). meanwhile in far off riogordo rob has been printing out trial copies of the chapbook to go with it featuring the photos of the band and horsemouth's writings.
... and horsemouth will be doing his 'I'm a published author' dance again.
there will be a far future village band IV horsemouth will be practicing his whistling.
will horsemouth write more? we shall see.
of course the return to the world of physical art objects solves some problems with the sheer overproduction of digital kipple (and its so-called 'ease of distribution) and replaces it with problems of its actual physical production and distribution.
today
another warm day. egg delivery and bin down the drive. the birds look to have snaffled all the berries.
