A marble bust by Rodin of Victor Hugo carved in a roughed out way to pay homage simultaneously to Hugo and Michelangelo behind a floral arrangement created for the Bouquet of Arts Exhibition Day at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor synthesizing two artists work into one display.

quotation marks around the word American in the phrase "free born American," suggested an inclusive vision of American identity that was open to anyone who embraced freedom, regardless of race, ethnicity, or place of birth. In this vision immigrants, whether they had naturalized, were Americans too

This is a poem by Nasser Rabah from his collection published By City Lights Booksellers, Gaza: The Poem Said It’s Piece.

Sharing to share the voice.

Hoping the world can open the pathways to feed people and end this hunger.

I happen to have some knowledge of Bison because they are fascinating. From American Buffalo, Steven Rinella.

Majestic creatures.

But no man attempted to fight a Bison the way they do cattle. Once a fellow had a Bison fight four bulls. One time was enough. It was such a mismatch they figured no need to repeat it.

I keep thinking back to:

“Any inventory selects what to leave out, if only the way light touches things differently. Any image inventories the objects that can be mentioned, or read.”

I ponder this concept often. From a favorite book, Infinity Of Lists, Umberto Eco.

Feeling grateful I took the recommendation of @alinaetc.bsky.social on this absolutely fantastic book. It has been a joy to read.

The answer is yes. Also, this is apparently round one of a tournament for immortality.

If I combine last two poetry books I read into a side by side photo, including the fine work by @alinaetc.bsky.social, but use the original Spanish version of the other for its cover art, I can make quite the monumental inside joke for people that know about the inside joke of that shadow.
