Funny how my friends page has become a source of news for me lately. This is the second post I've seen about Andrea Dworkin. What a strange bird. Strangely influential, too.

Hey, thanks for reminding me how much I adore Marge Piercy. I keep reading and re-reading this piece and it's made my day. Thanks!

Angela!
I love your new avatar by the way... wow!

Dworkin was influential, it's interesting to see what people write about you after you're gone, isn't it? Or how people go back and "spin" your life... I mean, if on my way home tonight, my cds fall off the front seat, i go to reach for them, and end up like Albert Brooks,(you get a kiss if you know what i'm talking about) what would people say about me? About the things I've written? About who I really was? What and who was important to me? What would those people say about me? What would they most remember? What would you guys say about me?

And Marge is an amazing poet -- this piece is ... well... wondrous...

Something of a new face here, hopefully welcome.

I am at something of a loss when trying to attach love to poetry, because I don't really understand either one. I thought I did once, but evidently I was praying to false idols at the time because I've been thrown for loops as large as the Jersey Turnpike.

Talking about porn... one can't really talk about porn as much as the consequences of or the effects of porn. Porn by itself is really pretty boring and a little silly, but the interactions with it become powerful and charged with emotion and other things. I could go on about sex energy and channeling, but perhaps that's best left until later when I've been more... attached.

Thrown for loops as large as the Jersey Turnpike - how was it being inside John Malkovich?

Hmm... I think this is interesting ... "porn is really pretty boring and a little silly, but the interactions with it become powerful and charged with emotion and other things..."

I think this is a very important statment, and my brain is too fogged with the rest of my life for the intellectual treatment i would like to give it, but it's making me think...

and please, do go on about sex energy and channeling ... how can we "attach" you so you can do so?

Malkovich: Malkovich malkovich, malkovich malkovich malkovich malkovich, malkovich malkovich. :)

(Malkovich, malkovich.)Sex energy and channeling: Perhaps the best example I can give is actors. Very often while doing stage shows, there is a heavy sexual tension that runs through the show. Experienced actors will feed on that energy, and transform and focus that energy into their performances ( ... )

And that's Piss Christ in your icon, if memory serves.

I remember that controversy. There was daily TALK about the image, but no mainstream media would actually SHOW it. When i finally got to see it, i was struck by how visually beautiful it was... and also by Serrano's Catholic devotion.

Unfortunately, i'm in the middle of reading What's the Matter with Kansas?, so meaningless irrelevant right-wing cultural controversies like Piss Christ taste very bitter to me.
