Side Track No. Comments
One 000 “Numen” – spirit that inhabits a place
040 Discussion re senses of place-notion of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ place is problematic, specious
120 Avison on objectivity of poem – locus
175 Duncan- distinction between personal psyche and the psyche in the language – writing becomes automatic when you enter the psyche in the language
260 Objectivity of poem – place where we can all be
290 Discussion on feeling and rhythm
425 Duncan – individual poems become ‘the poem’ – ‘the poem’ is the place we come together in
440 Duncan-Ginsberg as “legend” becomes person of the poem, an “idea” in the poem – Whitman also a person of the poem
700 Creeley – “Olson believes we’ve gone beyond the issue of relations. Fenollosa’s essay focused attention on the relational structure of language and in turn, on the whole relational structure of energy, activity of any order, of any instance. Olson has said that we’ve now come to a point where Wordsworth’s sense of ‘emotion recollected in tranquillity’ becomes more a ‘place’ in this sense we’re talking about than the relational insistence that say Fenollosa had located thirty or forty years ago.”
745 Duncan-distinction between cosmic and psychic realities
900 Duncan- “when you’re in love, that’s a real place.”
Two 005 Duncan- “Who is I Maximus?”
070 Levertov re Wordsworth’s “language is the incarnation of thought”
075 Duncan – the “overself” – the “projective”
150 Creeley concludes session with “How can we be other than where we are? And for what good reason?”
