I awoke with the phrase "machines of loving grace" in my mind, and it wouldn't let go. Then it became "all watched over by machines of loving grace". I couldn't remember where this came from, so, fire up my bedside iPad and dig a bit. It turns out to be the title of a 1967 Brautigan poem! It later appeared in this book "The Pill vs..." which I know I read way back then (probably in the 1970's). I loved Brautigan for the ways he freed my mind to words playing together in new ways. I had several of his books in my library for decades, but I'm afraid I've given them away in the course of our life-style downsizing. In any case, fond memories arise. And I enjoyed reading that poem again "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace". I see there's even a rock band today, carrying the name "Machines of Loving Grace". I haven't heard them... ( ) I just read this book on a whim because a copy of it came into my Little Free Library. I have another copy of this book I've saved since December, 1970. I remembered one poem, "It's Raining in Love", which I've always liked very much. I had been such a big Richard Brautigan fan "back in the day", but I haven't read any of his work for quite a long time. In this book, some of the poems I didn't care for, some were absurd, and some were so funny they made me laugh out loud. I think I'll save my original copy of this book for another fifty years! :D Here are the poems I liked best, but you have to get the book yourself in order to read them: Love Poem (true) "Star-Spangled" Nails (sad) Haiku Ambulance (weird) I Feel Horrible. She Doesn't (made me laugh) It's Raining in Love (so sweet) November 3 (funny) Your Catfish Friend (nice) Brautigan is all over the place here in theme, style, and length in a way that probably only he could pull off. A favorite of mine below... Comets There are comets that flash through our mouths wearing the grace of oceans and galaxies. God knows, we try to do the best we can. There are comets connected to chemicals that telescope down our tongues to burn out against the air. I know we do. There are comets that laugh at us from behind our teeth wearing the clothes of fish and birds. We try. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
