Glad my nausea makes you laugh. *grin* <BR/><BR/>Garbo, I also sometimes feel confident when I end up succeeding and get deathly nervous when I end up falling on my face. Go figure. I can usually tell when it's a productive, "this is what you need to be doing" nausea though. <BR/><BR/>Collin, yep, those kind of risks -- but also risks of language and form, which are sometimes equally intimidating for me. <BR/><BR/>Peter, you definitely should. It's well worth it. It's a dissturbing, risky, brilliant piece of work. And the level of detail she achieves in the art is breathtaking (as it always is in DTWOF).Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-1152238876686538172006-07-06T22:21:00.000-04:002006-07-06T22:21:00.000-04:00Thanks, I am going to get Bechdel's new book, it l...Thanks, I am going to get Bechdel's new book, it looks fabulous.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11435013887780629734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-1152236597848673192006-07-06T21:43:00.000-04:002006-07-06T21:43:00.000-04:00I highly recommend taking risks with the poetry.

Also fearful dreams. Yearning, or certainty of future success both precede failure.

Here's a link:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.aprweb.org/issues/mar06/levin.html" REL="nofollow">Levin essay</A><BR/><BR/>It doesn't talk directly about risk, but I think the ideas apply. I thought it was an interesting essay. I've been wanting to blog about it for awhile -- just too lazy and busy to write anything thoughtful lately.jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572881547671631396noreply@blogger.com
