For today, Sunday, just three little mises au points<\/em>:<\/p>\n

1) Looks like the Rimbaud<\/strong> photos I posted a couple days ago are in fact the work of a crazy Rimbaldian forger who has already committed various literary hoaxes (a sort of French Kent Johnson, maybe…?). I was alerted to it by another Frenchman who seems to track the forger mercilessly through cyberspace, if not to Aden, and who posted a response to my Rimbaud photo. If you have some French just go and read his post<\/a>. A shame, I really liked that photo…<\/p>\n

2) Nicole has just posted<\/a> a food\/poetry combo on her blog, based on our visit to Kelly Writers House for Charles Bernstein’s birthday & book party. You can get a sense of how the wonderful people of KWH organized the food, see photos of the event & watch a video of Felix Bernstein and the Baroness celebrating Charles.<\/p>\n

3) The latest issue of The New Yorker<\/strong> has an excellent (well, I would have a few criticisms if I had the time…) profile<\/a> of\u00a0 photographer George Steinmetz<\/strong> by Lauren Collins<\/strong>.The photo below, taken by Steinmetz from his motorized paraglider, shows a ksar somewhere North of the gorgeous oasis town of Timimoun in Algeria. A military fort, assuredly, but late last night after I had watched the 6 & 1\/2 hour, 20 innings, Cards-Mets game (the Mets won, for a change), I couldn’t help but see the photo as a kind of prehistoric, ur-baseball stadium…<\/p>\n
