MORE PICS. SEE YA AROUND, BANDWIDTH!


My computer has been throwing tantrums at me lately but could these pics really go unposted? I think not.

Taken from Stephen's reading at Housing Works in New York on the 28th of June.

Stephen is a sexy daddy, the father of "The Sex", no wonder...

BritPopBaby, you promised to post "At 25" ... will you? Please? (Or couldn't you get permission?) I need to imagine an audio for these pictures.

Speaking of which: Is there an audio file online somewhere of GyllenPappa giving a reading? His publisher ought to add one to her site.

nice anonymous, you can find it over at Kendra's blog 'Jake Weird'.
I just finished the book - it has some beautiful, sensitive pieces in it - I especially like those about his mom and dad - terrific; the one where he talks about the miscarriage Naomi had before she had Maggie and those about Jake - not only 'At 25', but also the one where he talks about Jake auditioning for a role as a child. Very touching.
He seems to be a great, sensitive man.
I have to tell you I am actively resisting falling in love with a whole family..! ('Bangs head against the wall..!')

You can hear Poppa G's voice in the director's comments in the DVD of Waterland.

I will post it soon. I'd like us to have a discussion about it but I'm leaving gaps between poems cos I don't want to rip them off.

He looks so "huggable!" (sigh) You know, as I look at these pics, I'm thinkin' Maggie. I mean never having seen/met the man in person, just looking at him, I see a very strong Maggie resemblance. Doesn't mean Jake doesn't favor him. It's just that I'm seeing the Maggie thing for the first time. I'm definitely in love with the whole family. I want them to adopt me.

Thanks, all, for pointing out "At 25" to me on different sites. (I knew I'd seen it **somewhere,** but could no longer remember where, in the proliferation of the various Web sites & Jake-related entries on blogs.) Still, I'll be happiest when all of the finest, Jake-fixated minds converge together on BritPopBaby's blog & give that poem a good, long interpretive study. Some sections of it perplex me. I can't help but feel that GyllenPappa meant it primarily as a private communication with his only son, rather than something that a casual reader would be able to understand. (I've taught poetry workshops to undergraduates and have found that they sometimes don't realize what enigmas they've constructed. They think they are being perfectly clear.)
