Peter Gizzi’s ‘Eye of the Poem’ & Jeremy Noel-Tod’s remembrance of R.F. Langley, with Langley’s ‘Sixpence a Day’. From the latter:
“Over tea, he showed me a new poem. It began with the almost-nothing of ‘A wine glass of water on / the windowsill’, only to spread out into thistle seeds, teasels, chaffinches, wading birds, south doors, sunlit tombs, and rabbits ‘kindling in their / burrows’—in short, the whole country we had just visited.”
Katrina Forrester on Stanley Cavell
Second of today’s uploads, read Katrina Forrester’s review of Cavell’s (second) autobiography, Little Did I know: Excerpts from Memory (Stanford University Press).
“For Cavell, questions about philosophy are central to the study of philosophy. “What can I know?” must be intimately connected to “why should I care about what I can know?” This is one of the many reasons why his work has always stood in such stark opposition to that of his colleagues in the Anglo-American philosophical academy. Philosophy, in his terms, is therapeutic. It is bound up (or interchangeable) with literature, psychoanalysis and the care of the self.”
