Info

Karen Solie A HERMIT Experience teaches, but its lessons may be useless. I could have done without a few whose only by-product is grief, which, as waste, in its final form, isn’t good for anything. A helicopter beating all night above the firth, a Druid shouting astrology outside the off-licence will eventually put the Ambien in ambience. Our culture is best described as heroic. Courageous in self-promotion, noble in the circulation of others’ disgrace, our preoccupation with death in a context of immortal glory truly epic, and the task becomes suspension of disparate particles lest they fall naturally into categories whose contemplation is bad infinity. Isolation. <strong>The</strong> odd aural hallucination. <strong>The</strong> meager ambit of a widow’s cabbage row corresponds to necessity and also to its architect’s state of mind 34
at the time. Why do I not move on? Why hang around here while grass grows up my chimney? Every choice is a refusal. For Christ’s sake I am guarding the walls. Like punctuation, it could make all the difference. 35
