Landscapes/Mindscapes:  Brief Reflection on Utah, 2009-05-01



Wasatch, snow-blessed mountains, remote for remaining on retinas in the South



You remember everything until the forgetting begins in 2019.



Remoteness is not about geography.



 A retarded peacock knows the West is not the South, especially if the West demands to have snow three days before the end of April, the cruelest month according to. Eliot. 



But Eliot got it wrong.

Christ is not a tiger nor is John the Baptist a polar bear.



The mountains are gray-white and purple and lovely at 7:12 a.m. when you have your daily aesthetic experience.

Fresh.

 The air is fresh , very remote and very  distinct  from the  smell of life in New Orleans.

 

This is Utah, much younger and much cleaner than Louisiana.

Vision is not insulted by jazz-drunk aliens gawking at the Superdome of Saints.



This is Utah, the property of Ute people.

First-people property.



This is Utah, indigenous property stolen by Mormons  and Semitic-wasted tribes.



 The Chinese ink-wash of Utah mountains is

compensation for the ruins of New Orleans after or before the Storm of Storms.



Thank God, memory prevails in the eye's mind.

CLA paper

CLA,   April 6, 2018 Jerry W. Ward, Jr. PHBW:   Negotiating the Ideas of Seven Writers [1]                 Founded in 1983 by Dr. Maryemma Graham, "The Afro-American Novel Project" (AANP) had the initial goal of identifying all published novels written by African Americans from the nineteenth century to the late twentieth century.   AANP became The Project on the History of Black Writing (PHBW) in 1990 to reflect an enlarged vision and a more ambitious aim.   PHBW want to make a substantial contribution to what we then spoke of as our "Profession" by organizing bibliographic information and databases, sponsoring institutes and seminars, and by encouraging our colleagues to have rigorous engagements with all genres of black (African American) "writing" within   frames   of historical inquiry.                              The Project's   working frame was an   adaptation of the paradigm of unity in African American Studies , f

reading notes for September 23, 2019

Reading Notes for September 23, 2019 Eighteen years after the tragedy of 9/11 as I re-read Amiri Baraka's "Somebody Blew Up America" (2001), two meanderings occur: 1) a chance temptation to ask what the term "pro-Semitic" can mean in the contexts of (a) Israeli and world politics and (b) to what extent the amount of foreign aid the USA donates to Israel truly matters, and 2) a more focused temptation to ask if Morrison's Playing in the Dark sheds light on the motives that govern projects devoted to discussions of slavery beginning with 1619. I suspect those projects are at once very literary and very political. Such speculations arose during a September 12 conversation with one of my former UNCF/Mellon mentees whose research on redemption now teaches me, the former mentor, a few things about the urgency of scholarship in the twenty-first century.   The journey forth happens in the cognitive territory of "universal enslavement,"

(quoted from Ash é Cultural Arts Center newsletter, February 2018) Brief report on TAKE ONE                 My impressions of this documentary were prejudiced by (1) the advertising of the film, (2) my intimate knowledge of HBCUs from having been on the faculty of two of them fo
