Helen Hunt Jackson’s August

August 3, 2021August 4, 2021 ~ Frank Hudson ~ Leave a comment

Let’s start another roundabout Parlando story. We’ll move from one less-famous poet to another lesser known one through a third one. You’ve heard of the third one. When I was a teenager and started writing poetry I was quite surprised that I did that. Surprised, and impressed with myself. Writing poetry wasn’t something anyone else … Continue reading Helen Hunt Jackson’s August

Some Rainbow coming from the Fair

May 5, 2020May 5, 2020 ~ Frank Hudson ~ Leave a comment

There I was, thinking it’s been over a month since I’ve presented an Emily Dickinson poem here. I didn’t start this project thinking that Dickinson would be so prevalent as a source for texts, but that’s what happened, and during the past four years my appreciation and wonder at Dickinson has increased greatly. One thing … Continue reading Some Rainbow coming from the Fair

Odds and Ends

December 21, 2019December 22, 2019 ~ Frank Hudson ~ 1 Comment

I’ve not engaged much in re-blogging, but two pieces I’ve read this week really struck me: one for an idea and examples of how it might be executed, and the other for a sharply-written essay on a novel from the same early 20th century era that much of the poetry we use comes from. The … Continue reading Odds and Ends

I Had a Terror Since September

September 4, 2019September 4, 2019 ~ Frank Hudson ~ 6 Comments

How much do we know about Emily Dickinson as personality, as a living person? I can’t say that we know much at all. Originally, she was marketed as cypher, an enigma, a hermit/shut-in, and this reflected a valid aspect of the later parts of her life. The self alone is not a no-place, but it’s … Continue reading I Had a Terror Since September

A few updates, and why fewer new audio pieces so far this summer

July 13, 2019July 13, 2019 ~ Frank Hudson ~ 3 Comments

Between revising my recording setup and spaces and some travel, I’ve been away from being able to create new audio pieces for much of the past month. I’ve missed that, and I hope you have too, though I have  been able to put together a few new things in the midst of this. I was … Continue reading A few updates, and why fewer new audio pieces so far this summer

Higginson’s June

June 4, 2019June 6, 2019 ~ Frank Hudson ~ 2 Comments

Here’s another post in our informal series “The Roots of Emily Dickinson.” Now a title like that may lead some to think I’m some sort of Dickinson scholar—which would be a fine thing to be, but I’m not. Frankly, when I started this project a few years back I assumed I’d present some Emily Dickinson … Continue reading Higginson’s June

Wild Nights with Emily

April 28, 2019April 29, 2019 ~ Frank Hudson ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been looking forward to this Emily Dickinson biopic since I first heard of it a few months back. I acknowledge the difficulty of making a film about writers, particularly if the film wants to give due weight to their writing, the least cinematic of art forms—but just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it shouldn’t … Continue reading Wild Nights with Emily

An August Midnight

August 15, 2018January 30, 2022 ~ Frank Hudson ~ Leave a comment

Today’s episode is something of a companion to our last one, what with moths appearing in each. Emily Dickinson’s sister-in-law Susan Gilbert Dickinson let the Book of Job fly in with her moth, and today Thomas Hardy’s open summer window lets in four bugs. Our scene: a summer night, window open, a 19th Century lamp … Continue reading An August Midnight

Crushed Before the Moth

August 13, 2018April 16, 2019 ~ Frank Hudson ~ Leave a comment

Increasingly, I am comprehending the miracle of Emily Dickinson. Fifty years before Ezra Pound and T. E. Hulme constructed a compressed modern poetry replacing conventional imagery with fresh and direct observation, a woman in a rural town in the woods of Massachusetts had already practiced their innovations over a thousand times. Through a series of … Continue reading Crushed Before the Moth

Three Places In New England

July 31, 2018August 8, 2018 ~ Frank Hudson ~ 3 Comments

You may have noticed fewer new pieces posted here over the past month. There are a variety of un-interesting reasons for that, but one cause is worth a post, even if it’s not representative of what you usually find here. Think of it as a “make up post” for the missing activity this July. This … Continue reading Three Places In New England
