The Indelible Occasion
Poetry. I'm writing this to fathom pleasure,/ Read the hype and extricate/ A power of concentration/ From the dye-cut afterglow repealed from news. THE INDELIBLE OCCASION marks the first appearance of these 75 numbered works by Sheila Murphy, incorporating meditation, philosophy, investigation of language, and social critique. Each poem is a toccata, literally touch piece, played out in a free style that ultimately demands more than fixed form, and derives from those sounds invoking its conception. THE INDELIBLE OCCASION extends the spirit and approach initiated in TETH (also available from SPD) and PURE MENTAL BREATH, with new lineated pieces created during 1998 and 1999.
