Brian Henderson : part five

When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?

Well, one touchstone for me has been Dean Young’s The Art of Recklessness : “Some things must be made opaque to be seen.” Or: “The impossible is the first necessary condition of any faith.” Maybe I just look at title on the cover: The Art of Recklessness. (Though in the book he argues that every chance appearance needs to have a consequence, his emphasis I think is wrong: every chance appearance is a chance appearance: entanglements might or might not ensue.) But in the end, for renewal, I go back to music.
