God Book
Arlene Corwin believes in God – calls herself ‘God centered’. What does that mean? A first cause embodying all realities: reality in a nutshell in which all opposites resolve, God – one energy, conscious, streaming light, ending in light, soundless, without gender, absolute (all else being relative). It is ‘the only quest worth the thinking about’, the devoting to’. God doesn’t do. God doesn’t have to. Still, there’s doing done; endless forming, endless creating, for which there is nature. God Book is a collection of reflections, analyses, insights, small revelations. Ms Corwin: “God Book is written about the most mesmerizing, engrossing non-thing ever: the many aspects...
Circling Round Time
This isnt just a collection about time. These are thoughts about wrinkles, birthdays, tick-tocking minutes, death, illusion and illusions. This circles around time and Time. The all-embracing.
Birth, Death & InBetween
Birth, Death & InBetween came to Ms Corwin as a title when friends began to die. Her generation was ‘starting to go’. “A collection comes about at a turning point; one is grieved, one wonders at the disappearance, the invisibility, the untimeliness, what was before, what may come after. No longer a matter of death and dying, but of birth, death and the in between. The speechlessness turns into a need to speak. You don’t put together a collection of poetry overnight. There is no arbitrary subject. There are threads. A collection is a matter of emphasis, accentuation and priority. One’s generation begins to go; the whole of the sidewalk full of people coming at you will be gone in a hundred years, not a person coming at you left. If that is not a source of wonderment, what is?” Birth, Death & InBetween is a collection of 300 some odd poems written over a period of 40 years observing, examining, questioning, accepting the plain facts and the elusive nuances.
Circling Around Our Times, Our Culture
These are critical times some would say self-caused and reaping, times. Rickety, dangerous - but on the other hand, a world loaded with gifts and potential. Its a fight between the goodies and the baddies, the flux within all of us. Circling Round Our Times, Our Culture addresses the whole with a sharp eye. It makes you sting, cry, go Oh yeah, I knew that! It makes you question yourself. After all, You are our times and culture! I dont see anything you dont see. Im just here to prick you in form and rhythm. says Ms. Corwin.
A Sense of the Ridiculous
Since 2010, Arlene Corwin has published twelve books of poetry hefty, 200 pagers all. She is a prolific writer, going from the sublime to the ridiculous, scribbling phantasmagorical ideas and working them until they have the rhythm, rhyme and development that satisfies her. When asked, she says she has no plan, aim or scheme to help her. A jazz musician and longtime yogini, she puts the thought to into free-flow, which then evolves of its own accord. Improvisation she trusts the improvisatory.
Circling Round Nature
When Arlene Corwin is not thinking about music, yoga, our times and culture, God, love relationships, baths, coffee, time or science, she makes it a practice to write about something in nature - just to keep her poetic mind in trim. It usually begins with a simple observation a siting perhaps. Then, being the person she is, the siting suggests, evokes, implies expands. You could call it a meditation on nature in its many forms nature, including her own. Circling Round Nature has as wide a scope as has nature, the opportunities for observations and reactions diverse, endless. Nature is the flattened frog on the road, the mushroom, the plasticized face, the weather, cycles involved in everythi...
Circling Round Everything:2015-2016
Lifes not a cloud of hodgepodge, but a sparkle of connections and reconnections disparate in appearance. Theres not a noun that fits. Not one cloud', sparkle, not one verb, adjective or noun that covers it because this thread of being is always changing its appearance. So we write. Differing poems, differing themes. But all one chain of links of different sizes and shapes: variations on a theme. One long metaphor for being-ness connected by causes subtle and apparent, immediate and easy to trace or long back and untraceable. With not one single word to take it all in, to describe it, name it, it is an appearance, a going-on. A perpetual ongoing. Also something to see through, to be comforted by when it looks like a cause for suffering, something to enjoy when it does not. It is lists of inadequate words and findings, of gradualness leading to suddenness, of the invisible to visible. Its everything. So we write about everything.
The Jazz Loft Project
Reissue of an acclaimed collection of images from photographer W. Eugene Smith’s time in a New York City loft among jazz musicians. In 1957, Eugene Smith walked away from his longtime job at Life and the home he shared with his wife and four children to move into a dilapidated, five-story loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York City’s wholesale flower district. The loft was the late-night haunt of musicians, including some of the biggest names in jazz—Charles Mingus, Zoot Sims, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk among them. Here, from 1957 to 1965, he made nearly 40,000 photographs and approximately 4,000 hours of recordings of musicians. Smith found solace in the chaotic, somnambulistic world of the loft and its artists, and he turned his documentary impulses away from work on his major Pittsburg photo essay and toward his new surroundings. Smith’s Jazz Loft Project has been legendary in the worlds of art, photography, and music for more than forty years, but until the publication of this book, no one had seen his extraordinary photographs or read any of the firsthand accounts of those who were there and lived to tell the tales.
Circling Round Yoga, Science, War & Cats
Circling Round Yoga, Science, War & Cats is a book of four poetry collections, each intended to express the universal; a unity in variety. Ms. Corwin: In Circling Round Yoga, Ive circled around varieties of yoga by including such subjects as recipes, thoughts about cooking, meditative reflections and recommendations, direct, unsystematic and definitely incomplete; recommendations for getting rid of loneliness: ideas that circle around the diverse paths of yoga. In Circling Round Science it was hard to draw a line between the intuitive, the spiritual, the philosophic and the scientific. Sometimes I feel like a combination charlatan-cum-dilettante with nothing to use but limited knowledge and ...
