Absence and Letters Drawn in Old World Reflections
A long experimental meditation on memory and loss follows a philippic about letters from the dead. It contemplates absence, death, and the entombed friends as living presence, weaving in extracts about poets, fame, and the fate of correspondence across time.
Our Country in 1887 and imperial prophecies
A long piece projects 1887 as a dawn for the United States with Michigan and Iowa at civilization’s center and Pacific states rising. It envisions future capitals, Univer sity of Michigan branches, and presses as temples, amid reflections on liberty and a prophecy-like forecast for future nations. It includes notes on duchess wealth, royal deaths, regal longevity, and a quip about a trial Irishman.
