Lord Buckley's Eyes
Posted on 15:00 by clark
I wrote Michael Monteleone care of
http://www.lordbuckley.com/ that I was making
a Lord Buckley puppet, but I didn’t know
what color the eyes should be. All the photos
I’ve seen of Buckley are black and white.
Michael soon replied, “I do not know the color of
His Lordship's eyes. It is a great question
that just never came up before. I have put out
an inquiry with a couple of people that
I know that knew Lord Buckley.
I will let you know what they say.” In the meantime,
over the Labor Day weekend, I constructed
the puppet. As I was painting him, I just had
a feeling his eyes were brown, so that’s
the color they became. Then, on September 5th
in the Wilson Library, Lord Buckley
performed ‘Satellite Blip Flip’ to a stunned audience.
Michael wrote and told me, “I think your performance
sounds like it was right in keeping with a number
of His Lordship's own presentations. I think
he stunned as many people as he inspired.”
He continued, “I talked with a very reliable
source and he said definitely brown eyes.”
Although he admitted the person he spoke to
met Lord Buckley in 1960 and had a keen
memory of his eyes, Michael later received
a phone call from a performer who shared
the stage with his Lordship in 1957,
and remembers him having blue eyes.
So for the time being, Lord Buckley’s eyes
remain a mystery.

Secrets of The Mermaid Translation
Posted on 12:32 by clark
If you've read my book The Mermaid Translation
(and by now, who hasn't?) you may have wondered
about the mysterious sculptures on September Hill.
I guess this is where I got the idea for that...
this lone strange spigot-thing in the woods...
p.s Here's an advertisement from
a 1975 Bellingham Herald newspaper:

from the notebooks
Posted on 10:19 by clark
Working on Selected Correspondence of
Kenneth Patchen took up much of my
writing mind over the last year, however
going through my past 3 notebooks
I’ve been able to find 33 poems and
stories to include in a forthcoming
hand-sewn book. I just need a
couple more photographs.
