Meditative Week of Poetry: Matthew Lippman
Tumblr media
You build a bank. You put money in it.   No one knows how much money is in it.   Not even you know how much money is in it.   You deposit 1000 dollars and it’s a mystery.   You take out 1000 dollars and it’s a conundrum.   When you look at the statement the statement says 5 dollars.   How did that get there? Was it a bird with a five-dollar bill? No. It was five birds with five one-dollar bills.   But there’s still 25 cents left after you spend the 5 bucks on an acre of land in Vermont. When you were a kid, you could buy a slice of pizza from Village Pizza for a quarter.   You wish you could get a slice for a quarter, now. No.   You wish you were a kid running across the street, dodging cabs and buses and bullets to play stoop ball with your pals. That’s funny.   You never used the word “pals” when you were a kid.   Never used that word when you were an adult. Now that you are an adult you use the word “boys” or the word “brothers.” Funny how you only got that far.   You got far enough to build a bank with a vault and some safe deposit boxes.   But there’s nothing in there, only clouds of money   that evaporate onto steel and granite and leave you befuddled. It boggles your mind, and all your panic attacks are dollar kamikaze bombers. You go across the street for a slice. You smack 5 dollars down on the counter and there is a thousand dollars out there, floating around between memory and desire, denial and survival. The cheese is so hot it burns your tongue. The sauce drips down your arm in dollar signs.

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: VIEW-MASTER LAND by Matt Bialer
ADVANCE ORDER: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/view-master-land-by-matt-bialer/
The long poem VIEW-MASTER LAND is about the poet’s struggle to come to terms with the #loss of his wife Lenora and the profound changes to his life that her death has brought. It’s also about celebrating #companionship and #hope with his new #love, Mary. It’s about how technology like the BlackBerry, which seemed so wondrous when it was first introduced, is now defunct, a relic of the past. It’s about the act of seeing, and how that evolves and gains depth as we get older. Bialer shares his memories of the View-Master toy he grew up with and how magical it was to view his favorite childhood TV shows in three dimensions on a special-format stereoscope and corresponding “reels,” which are thin cardboard disks. There was even an attempt to bring the View-Master back in cutting-edge VR technology, but that too failed, underscoring its obsolescence. VIEW-MASTER LAND is about how our perception is enhanced as we go through #life, and how the most ordinary can become extraordinary.
Matt Bialer is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry, including MAZE (Finishing Line Press), ALWAYS SAY GOODNIGHT (KYSO Flash),ASCENT (JournalStone) and THE VALLEY OF THE EIGHT and THIRD EYE OF THE INNER LIGHT (Leaky Boot Press). His poems have appeared in many print and online journals. He lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
PRAISE FOR VIEW-MASTER LAND by Matt Bialer
The View-Master was this old gadget that allowed you to see iconic landscapes that had been printed on Kodachrome paper. You slipped that strip of photographs into a slot of those oversized glasses and were transported. Still-life virtual reality. Matt Bialer’s new epic poem View-Master Land is a walking and beautiful reality. The poem will break your heart and make you want to love the people in the world that you know, and the one’s you don’t know you might love, even more. This a love poem to seeing, to how we see, to loss, and new beginnings. It is a love poem to New York and to the wife he lost to cancer, Lenora, and to his new love, Mary. It is a poem about watching the connections, seeing the threads, between a ‘bygone era’ and the current reality. It is a poem that allows us to be in the past and the present at the same time. Through a glorious cadence and generosity of imagistic spirit, Matt Bialer’s View-Master Land will take your hand and your body and walk with you through Central Park on a cold and breezy winter day, every once in a while, nudging you, saying, Look. Look. Look.
—Matthew Lippman, author of Mesmerizingly Sadly Beautiful
Soaked in nostalgia for technology that no longer reliably functions, Bialer shows us ourselves through these lost gadgets. But it’s not all melancholy; love, like life, will find a way. In this long poem, he deftly steps between grief, architecture, potato and leek soup, and hope. And if you ever had a View-Master, the last image of this remarkable poem will give you chills.
–Matthew Rohrer – author of THE SKY CONTAINS THE PLANS

Scout Gillett - “slow dancin’”
Tumblr media
Photo by Julie Orlick
“I’m already scared / I’ve already been there / Slow dancin’ / Romance,” Scout Gillett breaks the silence on “slow dancin’“, the latest preview from her forthcoming debut full-length, no roof no floor. The white hot wild heart of Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen radiates through their student Gillett here in vocal energy, though these moves juxtaposing the title in fast syncopation of Americana noir with a synth-pop slant are every bit hers to own, and push the feelings forward. This is the sound of the late and dark night, and two hearts racing who’ve no reason but to cut to the chase.
Directed by: Matthew Danger Lippman and Jordan Tetewsky

Scout Gillett’s no roof no floor will be released October 28th on Captured Tracks.

Doll Spirit Vessel Will Be Your New Favorite Band
Doll Spirit Vessel Will Be Your New Favorite Band
When Doll Spirit Vessel played one of its first shows at buzzing Brooklyn DIY venue Rubulad in March, the band quickly captivated the attention of the crowded room. Sandwiched in an eclectic lineup of punk headliners My Son, The Doctor, alt-country band Drug Couple, and glam-folk indie rock act Matthew Danger Lippman, most in the audience had no idea what they were in for.

From Matthew Lippman @matthewlippman
RECORD STORE MR. JOY
(for Mark)
I miss working at a record store.
I never worked at a record store. There are no more record stores.
There are many more record stores than you might think.
Mark worked at Recycled Records when he was younger.
He owned it. They used to play The Innocence Mission.
Have you ever heard of The Innocence Mission?
That’s why I miss working at a record store.
I never heard of The Innocence Mission
until Mark told me to listen to John As Well.
You can find a lot of music in your life
but if you eat breakfast and get dirt under your nails at Recycled Records in The Haight
then you are more likely to listen to music for the rest of your life.
But that’s because you’ve been listening to music for your whole life anyway,
so it doesn’t matter if you know how to use the register or make the mail order.
If you ask Mark he will say yes.
Oh, what is the question?
The question is:
would you listen to records every moment of your waking life
even if you never worked at a record store?
That’s the problem with some people,
they don’t know how to close up their ears.
When Other Music closed down on east 4th street
they closed down because New York is a cesspool of burning money
and Other Music did not have enough money to burn.
When Neutral Milk Hotel played there 30 people showed up.
You can do all sorts of things in a record store.
Like swim laps for 15 hours and they won’t kick you out.
And when it closes down and it’s a beautiful Sunday and there are no more record stores
you can go out to the backyard
and flip through the bins and cards of your mind
to find new sounds,
that will make people call your Mr. and Ms. and Mrs. Joy.
I don’t miss working at the record store where I did not work when I sixteen and 23 and 48.
I’ve been working there my whole life.
Mark too.
That’s where he found the Innocence Mission, in the section marked “Misty Dew.”
That was when he was love. Oh, right,
he’s always been love.

Quote
It’s a thing we all are at some point— crushed on the roadway, crushed in silence, crushed red in love. This is the problem or not the problem. It’s the thing. The thing in the roadway smashed that has to be held. You have to go to it, stop the car, get out, get down on your knees with it hoping the oncoming traffic won’t get you in the process, knowing damn well it will.
Matthew Lippman, from “Live Things in the Road,” published in decomP magazine

Matthew Lippman: #NotTrump Series
NEBRASKA
Donald Trump got sworn in today
and all I can do is listen to Bruce Springsteen.
That stuff he put out when Carter was in office.
When New York was in the fiscal toilet.
When Jersey was the junk.
 I can’t tell if listening to Bruce
is a desire to return to something gritty
and innocent
or a daydream of denial.
 All I can tell is that there are no clichés anymore
because everything has to be a revolution against
 Juan up at the drugstore buying his gum
before the Secret Service come with their xylophone wagon
and bellow him out
into ambulance row.
 The ones screaming down my street right now are headed towards D.C.
and I’m up in my attic with the headphones
trying to bail out the siren wail
echoing between the brick.
 Donald Trump put up his hand today against The Good Book
and Justice Roberts said, Go dog, go.
 I put up my hand today
against the ash wood of Bruce Springsteen’s Telecaster
like it was all things decent and good.
All things kind and forthright.
An American salute.
His guitar,
an American flag of all things sexy, straightforward and dynamite,
flying here for the whole shebang, for us, humanity untrumped--
 The last cliché.
The cliché of all clichés.
The rock ‘n roll garden
trying desperately not to be an anthem of weeds,
still thinking it could save the world.
Matthew Lippman is the author of four poetry collections—The New Year of Yellow (winner of the Kathryn A. Morton Prize, Sarabande Books), Monkey Bars, Salami Jew, and American Chew (winner of the Burnside Review of Books Poetry Prize). He is the recipient of many awards including a New York State Fine Arts Grant, and Jerome J. Shestak Poetry Prize from American Poetry Review.

"Samantha Rose"
“Samantha Rose”
That feeling of aimlessness that hits most of us at some point during our lives is expressed in the most beautiful, understated way in “Samantha Rose,” a modest indie drama from director (and co-writer) Andrew Morgan. This low budget feature is comprised of a cast of all first-time actors, and radiates a sort of homey, well-worn feeling that makes it an easy film to settle into. Samantha (Sam…

My book is reviewed in the new Asheville Poetry Review!
Tumblr media
Huge THANK YOU to David Ebenbach for this generous review of my book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, in the new Asheville Poetry Review, together with Matthew Lippman’s new book, Mesmerizingly Sadly Beautiful, a poet whose work I deeply adore, to put it lightly. How awesome to be reviewed together! “These books, in their flights from the personal to the ceiling of the universe and back again, truck in classic themes of love and purpose, and yet they do it in a way that finds readers where they are in the peculiarity of the moment. Citro and Lippman are two voices we really need right now.”

30 REASONS WHY THE LAMBS ARE STILL SCREAMING!!!
- Celebrating 30 years of The Silence of the Lambs Movie -
The Silence of the Lambs is a pop culture phenomenon, who’s influence is still being felt today. It is considered one of the best horror/terror/thriller movies of all time!
Released in 1991 on February 14th, The Silence of the Lambs evoked a blood curdling Valentine’s Day scream!
Happy Valentine’s Day
1991-2021
Author – Harris worked the cop beat for a Texas newspaper and had an interest in the macabre, often freelancing for Men’s Magazines (Argosy, True), writing about some of the most gruesome stories.
1. Thomas Harris – As the author of The Silence of the Lambs and creator of Hannibal Lecter, none of this would be possible without Harris. He’s an impeccable researcher, studying the cases of the most notorious serial killers at the time. Harris was seen at parts of Ted Bundy’s Chi Omega trial taking notes.
Actors
2. Jodie Foster – Foster’s portrayal of rookie FBI in training agent Clarice Starling, is a spot on performance. Foster shows Starling’s vulnerability and how her abandonment issues and need to advance in the FBI, bring her under Lecter’s spell.
3. Anthony Hopkins – Hopkins portrayal of Hannibal Lecter left an indelible mark that still haunts us 30 years later. Thomas Harris wrote Lecter...Hopkins brought him to life. The duality of Lecter, which Hopkins plays to perfection, leads you into a false sense of security...that perhaps he’s not that bad...until he lets loose on the police officers during his escape from custody.
4. Scott Glenn – Glenn plays the head of the Behavioural Science Unit at Quantico, Jack Crawford aka the Guru by his agents. Crawford uses his father like status to entice Starling to interview Lecter thus hopefully gaining access, which Lecter had denied other agents.
5. Ted Levine – Levine‘s portrayal of Buffalo Bill has a creep factor that is impossible to put out of your mind, especially when the song Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus plays...and he dances...
6. Anthony Heald – Heald’s portrayal of Dr. Frederick Chilton oozes contempt and arrogance, which doesn’t make you feel a bit sorry him when he becomes Lecter’s meal.
7. Brooke Smith – The all American girl who’s kidnapped by Buffalo Bill and held in a pit for the harvesting of her skin. Catherine Martin is a clever one though and hatches a plan to escape using Precious the dog as a hostage.
8. Frankie Faison – The only actor to appear in 4 of the 5 Hannibal Lecter movies. Barney Matthews survives Lecter with his politeness as Lecter abhors rudeness. Lecter believes whenever feasible, one should eat the rude.
Art/Symbols/Theme
9. Basements – The basement is an underlying theme in The Silence of the Lambs: The BSU of the FBI work out of the basement at Quantico; Hannibal Lecter is kept in the basement of the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and Buffalo Bill’s sanctuary is the basement of the former Mrs. Lippman's house.
10. Death Head Hawk Moth/Transformation – The theme throughout The Silence of the Lambs is transformation. The Moth represents Buffalo Bill’s transformation from a pupae/chrysalis/cocoon into a beautiful butterfly.
11. Salvador Dali/Philippe Halsman – In Voluptas Mors/Voluptuous Death (1951), the most scandalous photo of it’s time was the brainchild of Dali and Halsman. Dali arranged seven naked women into a macabre skull. This skull is used as the marking for the Death Head Hawk Moth on the poster for The Silence of the Lambs, which has become synonymous with the movie.
12. Cannibalism – Lecter doesn’t keep trophies in the usual sense, he eats his victims ensuring they will be part of him forever and leaving no evidence behind.
13. Sketches – Hannibal Lecter is a gifted artist and uses his talent to escape the confining basement walls of The Baltimore State Hospital with sketches of the Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo as seen from the Belvedere in Florence.
14. Music – Hannibal Lecter has an appreciation for the finer things in life like classical music in particular Goldberg’s Variations Aria. Catherine Martin rocks out to Tom Petty’s American Girl and Buffalo Bill dances to Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus.
Behavioural Science Unit – It was a new age of criminal behaviour which needed a new type of agent...a profiler.
15. FBI – The Federal Bureau Of Investigation was formed to combat the criminal Mob element by J. Edgar Hoover. It was only upon Hoover’s death that the FBI started exploring other avenues to catch a new type of killer, the serial killer. After Hoover’s death the FBI would start to hire female agents, which would spur Harris to write a story about an up and coming female agent in training.
16. John E. Douglas – Douglas is the real Jack Crawford, an agent who helped in the development of Behavioural Sciences to catch the newly ordained serial killer. Douglas was a consultant for The Silence of the Lambs movie and is an author of many serial killer/profiling books.
17. Robert Ressler – Crawford is also based on Ressler who was in charge of developing the BSU and was instrumental in the creation of profiling serial killers by interviewing them behind bars. Ressler is responsible for writing some of the best profiling books.
Production
18. Jonathan Demme – It’s Demme’s vision as Director of The Silence of the Lambs which is the magic that has cemented The Silence of the Lambs in the minds of all who watch and re-watch and re-watch...
19. Orion Pictures – The little studio that took a big chance. Unfortunately The Silence of the Lambs wouldn’t save Orion from bankruptcy and they’d be bought out by MGM, who would acquire their movie catalogue.
20. Ted Tally – The man who would turn Harris’ novel into a great screenplay, hitting all the major marks. Tally would pass on the Hannibal screenplay; being lured back for the Red Dragon screenplay.
21. Dino De Laurentiis – If not for De Laurentiis passing on the movie rights to Harris’ novel, The Silence of the Lambs, after the bad box office return of Manhunter, and for allowing Demme to use Hannibal Lecter, we wouldn’t even be discussing this 30 years later.
Quotes – The Silence of the Lambs gave us a few extremely recognizable quotes!
22. Chianti and Fava Beans – “I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
- Hannibal Lecter
23. Lotion – “It rubs the lotion on it’s skin or else it gets the hose again.”
- Buffalo Bill
24. Friendship – “I’m having an old friend for dinner.”
- Hannibal Lecter
Serial Killers – Harris based Lecter and Buffalo Bill on some very real killers...
25. Ed Gein – Buffalo Bill is part Gein for without the crimes of Ed Gein, Buffalo Bill wouldn’t exist. It was Gein’s skinning of corpses and his two murder victims that would inspire Buffalo Bill...
26. Gary Heideck – If Buffalo Bill is part Gein, he’s also part Heideck, who’d kidnap women and then tortured them in a pit in his basement.
27. Ted Bundy – Buffalo is also part Ted Bundy, who would lure his victims with injuries like an arm in a cast; he would seem vulnerable seeking help with books or a canoe and in Buffalo Bill’s case a chair.
28. Ed Kemper – What do Hannibal Lecter and Ed Kemper have in common? A high IQ., a fondness of co-eds and a love of cars.
29. Alfredo Balli Trevino – Harris met Trevino in a Mexican prison, mistaking him for a doctor who worked in the prison; Trevino was actually an inmate working in the prison.
Trevino was convicted of murdering then dismembering his lover. It was this encounter that would set the tone for Lecter.
30. Alonzo Robinson – Lecter has been compared to many serial killers over the decades, many of who’s crimes are too late to be included in The Silence of the Lambs novel (1988). It was most likely the story of Alonzo Robinson/James Coyner/William Coyner that planted the seeds of a cannibal killer in the young mind of Thomas Harris.
Influence – Every Serial Killer book written after The Silence of the Lambs was released in theatres, has a reference to it...even BTK referenced Buffalo Bill in his essay to FBI Profiler, John E. Douglas, among an impressive list of serial killers...Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, Ed Kemper, Steven Pennell and Gary Heideck.
Conclusion: Thomas Harris’ first Lecter novel, Red Dragon, turns 40 in October, so Hannibal Lecter has been part of our literary world for 40 years. Although Manhunter was released in 1986 as the first film featuring Lektor (spelling in the movie), it was Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs that will be remembered as bringing Lecter to the masses. Even though Hopkins would play Lecter two more times in Hannibal (2001) and in the remake of Manhunter, Red Dragon (2002), it’s Hopkins Oscar winning portrayal in The Silence of the Lambs that we will always remember and keep the lambs screaming...
Shannon L. Christie
