“AND THEN THE LITTLE CREATURE”

By sophie | April 22nd, 2010

There in the passion of disillusion, she entered the edge of the woods upon which a road had been built. There at the edge was concrete and asphalt, were smells she hadn’t smelt before, felts she [...]

MANHATTAN

By sophie | November 3rd, 2009
“There are no borders up here, only metaphysical ones remain.” (from my soon-to-be-released book, The Beginning of an Inexplicable Journey. It has been in captivity for much too long.) Now come the life changes, the cracking giant shifts, the flows are altering, and water is moving on and down hill, faster and faster. Here is something [...]

WILD RUMPUSES

By sophie | October 26th, 2009
Happy Halloween my dears – or if you prefer, Pagan Celebration of Changing Seasons. NYC is already full of pumpkin-brimming streets, falling leaves, blazing yellow in the sunlight through the blue sky of October. I am contemplating (if only I can find a wild rumpus to partake in) going as Max-in-a-wolf-suit for Halloween. Think about [...]

By sophie | October 21st, 2009

I don’t know what to say anymore, except that I can’t keep living like this: I need to learn how to cope with stress, how to deal with my life, how to [...]

MAD GENIUS ON THE BOARD OF CREATIVES

By sophie | September 2nd, 2009
Just wanted to acknowledge and give a shout out across the Atlantic, Europe, Asia Major and Minor, all the way to Australia – to Misters Andrew Burns, Henry Richard Rowlatt, and Oscar Samuel Rowlatt Ward. Every day I walk past such creative psychobabble as this chalkboard below, by the kitchen, and am reminded of all [...]

PUSH SKY, DOWN HIGH

By sophie | July 27th, 2009
NEWSFLASH! Jon cut his long hair off and I am manic as a biodynamic snowpea on a rooftop in Brooklyn. I am killing birds with stones and moving chess pieces that were cold stone statues here before. God knows they were hard to get shifting. They weren’t budging for quite some time, those damn stubborn [...]

TOILS AND TRIBULATIONS

By sophie | July 22nd, 2009
I find myself drawn to the greats who began in this city at a time when they also began themselves so greatly.  A story from 1967 that Joan Didion wrote on New York, a biographical novel on D.H. Lawrence call The Literary Life which explained how he managed to make a living for himself writing [...]
