Method / Smart / Blake
The first 25 minutes of this class for a nice complement to his Improvised Poetics part 1 July 1988 (July 14, 1988). Like that class, it discusses the discipline/yoga of sticking to one theme and riffing on it intensely.
0: On Neal's Ashes, midnight writing trances
8: What is the point of teaching ancient forms?
11: AG sings a raga accompanied on harmonium
18:54: Working in absorption states "enter your own imagination and manifest it" - "must have a fixed theme."
26: Poets who manage household economies / sourpuss sh*ts
29: Christopher Smart "a Song to David"
43: Q & A about mental vomit vs. themed writing/ resentment & poetry
54: Reads from the Book of Thel by Blake
1:24: Sings Blake
