...words"


I’m trying to read, no longer as easy as it sounds.
No politics no scary essays…no more of that. As I attempt on occasion I had yet another go at Donne’s Holy Sonnets. How the language has shifted in just a handful of centuries. What will folks make of Ginsberg in just three or four hundred years. How will “Howl” scan to them.
Also reading James Baldwin’s sermons. What would he, and Donne have made of each other. Would they find kindred streaks of fire in each others words?
