In a game not unlike Les Liaisons Dangereuses, the newly revised Side-Armedcan sit right next to Frequencies. I saw a version, incidentally, of Les Liaisons Dangereuses in London as a teenager. It was almost as risque as the movie. I would also choose to note that these two pieces incorporate dialogue in a theatrical way. Is this a technique I learned in Pittsburgh? Not quite. The Pittsburgh zinger, if there is one, is that a Pittsburgh '92 actress did show up for me in Manhattan in the mid-Aughts in a major way. There it is again: Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
Classicism is, and the process of classicizing is, angled against what post-modernism is supposed to represent as an ethos. Yet, fuck it, right? Someone has to look at what cultural artifacts were produced by post-modernity and decide what to keep and what to throw out. So, I offer my two cents on that particular subject here.
Salvaged from the PennSound Personal Mythologies II mp3 file (2003), What Needs No Myth, homage and counterpoint to Yeats and The Second Coming, makes its way to Eratio. Many thanks to Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino. Chopped from Personal Mythologies II, me reading What Needs No Myth in 2003.
