musing this morning ...
... on the nature of reverie ...
moving water (evidence of material imagination)

... evidence of reverie enjoyed in woods and along streams - collected, bottled, recorded ...
a reading from shih-shu:
bream and carp flash their golden scales,
pairs of ducks links wings.
all the while the poet stares this way and that --
caught in a web beyond all speaking.
resources for the journey
gaston bachelard, water and dreams: an essay on the imagination of matter
the cleveland metroparks
"shih shu" on poetry chaikhana
moving water on flickr
and the pleasures of tea

Beautiful picture Jeanne.
I love the concept of 'reverie'.
How crazy is it that Bachelard's great book is not in print?
my thanks, jeff!
there is potential good news about bachelard's water and dreams: a staff person at dallas institute publications has told me that it will be reprinted "soon." when i hear that it is available again, i'll put a note on my blog.
take care, jeanne
I seem to have stumbled across a hidden drawer full of Bachelardistas...
Thank goodness!
Thought I might be the only one left.
Lovely, lovely post, and now back for more...found you through Kevin Clooney's blog (at least I hope I've remembered him right. A few links away and my memory softens.)
lori, thank you for your visit!
not to worry - you're not the last of the bachelardistas! (not if i can help it...) since a friend introduced me to the poetics of space five years ago, i've been a devotee, and now an evangelista...
enjoy your time here in thisconceptvessel (and i recommend jeff's blog, as well!)
my best, jeanne
