Liberal Art (cont again)
The heart of thinking: drawing distinctions.
The heart of academics: arguing them out.
The heart of Liberal Art: relating them.
A former student and poet dropped by
yesterday to describe his grant-writing
fund-raising in a Vermont Artist colony –
like Yaddo a haven for the creative of
various kind to live, do their composing,
hang out together trading assumptions
and operating metaphors across their
curriculum. Amateur standing. We
spent time considering the difference
spent time considering the difference
between shame & guilt & the relationship,
seemingly morbid but mere academics is
all & don’t reflect nor refer to Tampa nor
wild fires in California, drought in the
Midwest or the many floods & flooding
elsewhere not to mention the distinction
between illegitimate and legitimate rape:
home economy issues not to be confused
with the housekeeping concerns we have
with us always.
