Evocation and music
Photograph by Mike Flemming copyright
Trying to understand Or are we stuck in this information culture,
evocation is more important;
explicit saying counts against us.
People need to be fuly
into believing
being educated is more
than information:
the incoherencies and
what they’re saying,
the musicality
of people’s voices
and intonations;
would get more
from them.
To be effective,listening is
something other, not the coherences;
we hope to listen for words
that are saying more,
It’s got something to do with being;
it’s a form of listening,
not distracted by incoherence
but evoked by it.
Evocation, the task of the artist
The way to heaven
Purged of noise,numbness,notoriety.
Loving the music of life.
The agent who speaks
And the one who learns to hear
Slowness,unknowingness,silence.

Is it easy to stick to your own point of view?
Why do some people find it easy to stick to their own point of view whereas others are like chameleons who change to fit in with whoever they are with?I don’t know the full answer.It may depend on their background and in some countries women have to be subservient to men.Some people are just being diplomatic and some are wishing to avoid an argument to find our unique viewpoint and not go along with the crowd.i am not advocating breaking the law by doing/saying offensive things for pleasure.I believe sometimes I have been lazy and not given thought to a topic and so I agree with another person whom I respect but really that is wrong.Since each of us is unique I believe we need to express our point of iew the best things about artists is that they look or hear at the world differently and help us to see the validity of different ways of seeing or listening
.But when a new artist or composer appears people often believe they are mad at first.This is what happened to Igor Stravinsky at the first performance of some of his music.Yet compared to composers who followed he was quite similar to those preceded him.Mahler wrote this music a year before the Stravinsky was composed and it is very different

Helpful ideas about poetry writing
Th is my goodbye and thank you after almost two years of writing my Times poetry column. I have loved reading the piles of poetry books – thank you to all the publishers who sent them; I have also loved reading your e-mails and letters. You demonstrated how a poem in the column could go off and have another life; comments, discussions and readers’ poems abounded. And I have loved writing about the poems, trying to relate them to our hopes and anxieties as human beings in my belief that there is a poem for everyone – even a trucker on the M1 who reads nothing more challenging than his sat-nav. Because to say “I don’t like poetry” is like saying “I don’t like music”. It’s a case

Annie and the apples
Poor Annie had fallen out of the apple tree where she saw Emile chewing some smoked haddock stolen from her basket.
Emile looked down from the highest branch
Are you alright he mewed.
I don’t know she muttered.I am in shock.
I’d better ring 999 and get Dave.
Without waiting he ran down the apple tree into the hall.
He phoned 999 and soon the ambulance will arrive.
Where will Annie be taken?
Who will look after her?
And where is Mary her best friend
Will she get better?
