Jumbo Sail

I should do a newsletter just on phrase hunting. For words. But substack for me is a jumble sail. Bound to stay that way…

Because it is sidebar to novel and poetry where pitch and put over every word. Nothing in it is off the cuff. Its going after form… Where I linger and draw out.

Translation Cioran coming along too.

Its not like Olga where its para after para.. Cioran its thought after thought, its pensee poetry.

Phrase Hunters

While writing — truly unduly, get off on phrase hunting —

and now a direct link into OED. Gonna go for it, go for words, with DFW, yes — I can play there a little, like with o’jj.

Words before words, buckets of em. Provacatuer… not really.

I repeat constantly. Repeating is a way of writing around it got that out of Sylvia, repetition builds up language and usage,

her more ways to go spearing after language nothing stopped her, till she did.
