The Monday Morning Memo

OldLadyKitsch

Kitsch – art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness
or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way.
“The lava lamp is an example of sixties kitsch”

Would you like to become a better writer?
The key is to listen to common things made interesting.
Poets have been doing this for centuries.
Buy the GOOD POEMS books or MP3s curated by Garrison Keillor.
Below is a link to one of the HUNDREDS of great audio poems you’ll hear in that series.

Random Quote:

“It’s Friday night at a 200-year-old pub off O’Connell Street in Dublin. World headquarters for conversation. Dark mahogany walls. Lean-faced men. Ruddy-faced women. The bursts of laughter aren’t polite, but real, approaching the edge of uncontrol. The stories being told are new, freshly minted, just for you. There is no higher honor. The room roar is high (but still, not as bad as in New York restaurants where you can’t make out what it is you, yourself just said). These Irishmen, in collarless Irish shirts and tweed caps, have managed to keep their mouths shut all week, saving up the good stuff for now, for Friday night, this very place, this very moment… How could one single city possibly give birth to Yeats, Shaw, Joyce, Wilde, Beckett… and all those here tonight as well? Working-Class Irish Pub Shirt. Imported. Well-suited for both the intoxication of talk and the difficult art of listening. Not bad for just hanging out, either. Or, when absolutely necessary, for looking “interesting.” Simple collar band. Seven-button placket. Stud at neck. No-nonsense, rounded shirttails. Two-button adjustable cuff. No pocket. (You have to carry everything you brought, in your head.)”
