Calendar's Seasons of the New World.

Navy captain Terry Earhart read Calendar when it came out and said it seemed angry. Stephen Spender said it was "almost there." Looking it now frightens that it might seem to have given aid and comfort to antifis who vex our time and have control over all the institutions of education, media, science, so in that sense I am like Eduardo Galeano who retracted Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina (1971), (in English, 1973), Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, being about the same distance in time from its inception as Calendar (1973), in miniature. Little danger of any of this however occurs when political economy is written. Galeano's was in the "style of a novel about love or pirates," but this is lyrical narrative submerged in symbols.  Galeno's change is attributed to sickness and a stroke. The stroke anyway is significant, but without the MRI we don't know in what part of the brain, but in writers isn't it always the language center, not so much the reasoning, transforming the latitude where the emotional sense is magnified and therefore wants to correct its too callow previous view. The urge to speak positively becomes important in a man of age.

It is a great thing to confront yourself by yourself. It proves you have grown, or diminished, depending. "For me, this prose of the traditional left is extremely leaden, and my physique can’t tolerate it” (Galeano). So if we allow the past opinion to be like quantum particle "a" and the present opinion as "b", whether a or b it is our own understanding we are attempting to describe, not reality. The question is, how can a property here tell me something about a property on Antares there when I examine it? Quantum entanglement encoded in words, not numbers as software designers imagine, is much more complex for the variables of sound and meaning, many sounds equal one meaning, but the meaning is a conditioned state, depending. Each semantic entanglement evokes its own subverse, spinning off meanings perceived only if the references are known. That's why Finnegans Wake can be unspeakable understood but impossible to express. Much language is not understood because the entanglements are not.  So how do you know that if you break this code here that there is not a sequence of understanding there, like that of Psalm 16, Messiah simultaneously in both his incarnate and pre-incarnate state, which gives the answer?

Even when Vocabulary was submitted some months ago I did not oppose it, but now the politicat social fake rhetoric is so extreme I cringe to contribute to it. On a much lower scale the most important thing in a literary character is growth and change, that an  author can grow and change is a great compliment when it addresses his ideas and perceptions of the world. Most of my writing proceeded against background experiences of wholly legitimate love and life in Latin America and the Black south where those impressions went against the grain of society of the north. Today's radicals proceed from no personal experience at all, but from a dialectic, programed entirely by their bosses, those bosses being the very ones I always despised. In empire at odds with life, in Calendar, the bosses reveal themselves, the bankers, the CEOs, scientists of being drug artists of divide and conquer. Only the end of Vocabulary where the narrator pins his ear with an awl against a board is apposite. Such misgivings only happen in a poetic effort. There are no such backgrounds in all the prose takes of empire in Super Collider, etc., which take a largely neutral content outlook. So we wrestle with the past, our past and the world's, and always think to come to some resolution, even as its history is revoked, that we and the earth share the same experience in this, small and great, because it will be recreated, so shall we, first in spirit then in body through Jesus Christ our Lord, so that is our story first to last to live.
