The Wind begun to rock the Grass With threatening Tunes and low -- He threw a Menace at the Earth -- A Menace at the Sky. The Leaves unhooked themselves from Trees -- And started all abroad The Dust did scoop itself like Hands And threw away the Road. The Wagons quickened on the Streets The Thunder hurried slow -- The Lightning showed a Yellow Beak And then a livid Claw. The Birds put up the Bars to Nests -- The Cattle fled to Barns -- There came one drop of Giant Rain And then as if the Hands That held the Dams had parted hold The Waters Wrecked the Sky, But overlooked my Father's House -- Just quartering a Tree -- -- Emily Dicksinon

FREQUENTLY the woods are pink, Frequently are brown; Frequently the hills undress Behind my native town. Oft a head is crested 5 I was wont to see, And as oft a cranny Where it used to be. And the earth, they tell me, On its axis turned,— 10 Wonderful rotation By but twelve performed! by Emily Dickinson

Tell all the truth but tell it slant A grade to high degree Words and wounds have consonants Angels on loud wings Wash away the scars of lust Worked hard to make them stick Silent bombs inside of us Can you hear them tick? Cut along a dotted line Deconstruct to redesign Afflicted by a cure so kind to me Or every man be blind The truth’s superb surprise With explanation kind The truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind Plant the seeds of discontent In pain I feel alive The waning harvest moon is spent Too bright for our infirm delight

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
