I really enjoyed your thoughts here. I’ve recently started reading a few poems first thing in the morning. I’m adding Berrigan, Carroll, and Bergman to the list of collections to seek out.
One of my favorite music critics writing about one of my favorite artists on my birthday is a gift I could never have imagined. Thanks for this one, Mark!
Purple Mountains was my favourite record of 2019. Also 2020, 2021,2022,2023, and 2024. While I know there will be no more, it is a joy to read your tribute. I look forward to checking out your substack.
That's a beautiful piece of writing, Mark.
Mark, thank you for keeping David’s art alive.
(could I have read these passages before? it’s late but they seem so familiar and maybe I missed a footnote)
Either way, I’m still here under the chandelier…
