    Villa Miseria (1.0.)

    Where are we now? We have entered the city, and we are on the streets of some district. Which city? Continental, it could be Rome or Istanbul, Berlin or Buenos Aires, Rio or Kalikut. It could even be New York or Boston. Even London… (at times on a clear night and in certain places). And we…

  • Where are we now?

    This week, perhaps it was Monday, David Bowie, on his sixty sixth birthday, issued a new single – Where are we now? – apparently his first for some years. I was never a great fan of Bowie, Dylan and Cohen got there first and latterly I caught up with Tom Waits, but Bowie and I…

  • With a wrench she is free

Different WORDSTALL Categories in the past supported the mainly experimental personal writing in posts. The previous list of Category headings was: Anti-gravity Surgery / Atelier / Catastrophe Games / Echo Effects / Exodus / Fundamental Perversions / Hitting the Potholes / Holy Fool-Hero / In Conversation / Old Men Traveling / On the Street / Out in the Wilderness / Over and Beyond / Tonite at the Coliseum. Some of these still persist or recur as Tag key-words.

The even earlier Category headings for the walkingtalkingwriting blog (2006-2012) have been forgotten, but can be explored if desired via the long tail of monthly posts for those years here.
