A review and a poem.
A review (of Pericles) (a nice one).
A poem (of Yeats) (an excerpt).
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

- Life Before Death - This sombre series of portraits taken of people before and after they had died is a challenging and poignant study. The work by German photographer Walter Schels and his partner Beate Lakotta, who recorded interviews with the subjects in their final days, reveals much about dying - and living.
- Ministry is touring for the last time ever. I hope to be at the Philly show on April 29.
- What's up with me and poetry today? T.S. Eliot's 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'.

Hey, that's a great review. Good job Mel.
I actually used to keep "The Second Coming" in my bag of tricks. Only ever did it once for a call-back but still I had really wanted to memorize it. The Imagery is chilling.
I don't get much chance to audition for other gigs these days but I think I'm gonna try to get a little monologue show together since I feel like I'm getting pretty rusty. Might be something that I could do in the back gallery of Appalachian Brewery.
See you soon Mel.
The Second Coming is so intellecto-emo before its time.
That said, it is full of win. And one of my faves.
All I'm getting from the Yeats refs is 'Nam-style year 12 flashbacks. The horror, the horror...
