Like a Dog

You are supposed to listen to Low while reading Ander Monson’s book from back when, O.E.

Interview with Zak Sally at Bookmunch.

I mean, I really do think that’s an important thing for…everyone, for all human beings on some level – just asking “what am I doing here? why am I doing it? am I being an asshole, am I holding myself accountable for the things I’m doing in this life?”

It is better to be good than smart. That is the idea.

Like a Dog Review at Bookmunch.

I like saying the word munch.

Words begat images, images begat words. That is the idea.

Snow of syllables. Eat etchings. Cold. Thaw. Words.

      Sean Lovelace, you are all mavericky. That is a compliment. Here is an excerpt from the poem “Lonesome in the Country” by Al Young that I hope you like. The quote in your post reminded me of it:

      How much of me is sandwiches radio beer?
      How much pizza traffic & neon messages?
      I take thoughtful journeys to supermarkets,
      philosophize about the newest good movie,
      camp out at magazine racks & on floors,
      catch humanity leering back in laundromats,
      invent shortcuts by the quarter hour

      There’s meaning to all this itemization
      & I’d do better to look for it in woodpiles
      & in hills & springs & trees in the woods
      instead of staying in my shack all the time
      thinking too much,
      falling asleep in old chairs
