~ A little about my blog ~

‘What eyes, I wondered, might be watching.’ — An Ode to Antares — Alan Seeger

Ever since I first read Alan Seeger’s poetry and his published diary pages, I was hooked on poetry and was inspired to write my first poem and subsequent ones after, from the beginning of reading his words on the page. His work as well as many other works of the Lost Generation nurtured my want to learn poetry, and I began a whirlwind tour of the world of spoken word. Years later I’d come to find my own voice in poetry and write my own poetry and prose to voice the injustice I saw around me. Over the years, I’ve found my own style of writing, yes, but when I think about it, I always return to the moment I fell in love with the idea of poetry and what it meant to me, and what it means now. Thanks to Alan Seeger. Looking back, I’ll always remember reading Tithonus, at age Twelve, and being drawn into his words. I even have a first edition of Alan Seeger’s poetry and it is one of my prized possessions, since his words and story mean so much to me, his writing having inspired me to take one of the best journeys in my life. At first this blog was just a starting point to voice my thoughts on the subject of war poets, but as I went, I decided to create this blog with the intent to write about Alan Seeger’s life and poetry, along with many others who went through the same and have only poetry and not much else known about their stories.

My New Book About three Brave Americans

On August 25th 1914, a group of young Americans joined the Foreign Legion and “with a cowboy swing” marched through Paris, wildly cheered by the crowd. They were the first Americans in the Great War. I have written the intimate story of three of those young men: • David Wooster King - a 21-year-old dropout from Harvard and son of a rich businessman whose family can be traced back to Mayflower. • Alan Seeger - a 26-year-old poet and a dreamer from New York and a family of highly educated intellectuals. His ancestors too, can be traced back to start of the American nation. • Eugene James Bullard - a 19-year-old entertainer and boxer from Columbus, Georgia. His father was born a slave and his mother was Creek Indian. King ended up as an officer in the US Army chasing German spies in Switzerland in 1918. Later, he became a modern global adventurer, met rulers across the world and was sent to Casablanca in 1941 as the very first OSS agent reporting to President Roosevelt. Eugene Bullard too survived the war years. He was wounded at Verdun and invalided out of the French Army but despite all odds he became the world’s first black aviator. After the war, he married a young French woman and settled in Paris where he opened a bar. In the roaring 20s he was surrounded by every artist and intellectual of the day from Hemingway to Louis Armstrong. Bullard fought for the French again in 1940 before he was wounded and had to flee to New York with his two children. Here he was ignored except by the first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The French never forgot him, and Bullard ignited the eternal flame at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris in 1954 and was kissed on both cheeks by President Charles de Gaulle.

The third legionnaire, Seeger, was not so lucky as his two comrades. He was killed during the Battle of the Somme on July 4, 1916. However, six weeks earlier, he wrote the famous poem, ‘I Have A Rendezvous with Death’ which was to become his legacy. President Kennedy’s daughter Caroline recited it for her father six weeks before his fateful trip to Dallas in November 1963, and the poem has since inspired a line of American presidents during the 20th century. It has become an indestructible poetic lifeline linking France and the United States of America. The three young Americans, rooted in the nation, each has an amazing story to tell. But when their adventures are brought together we get a three-dimensional perspective on how America broke its isolation from the world and started to unite as a nation during the 20th century. The three men represent different pillars of the American soul, and their lives and dreams symbolize the story of how America became modern and remind us of the strong historic ties between France and America. Most of all, this book is a fantastic saga full of brave men, great adventures and terrific sacrifices that bring hope and a new direction in a time of human division.

You can buy the book at most online bookshops and at my publisher Pen & Sword.

Pick of the Week: So Much Stuff

KATE: My pick of the week goes to Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki’s Conjecture, as it checks a number of boxes for me: supernatural elements, characters with weird but useful superpowers, and characters whose primary field of study is folklore. (I may be the only reader holding out for a manga on Charles Seeger. Just sayin’.) The story also gets high marks for having an original…

[aquarianshift]

"The folk revival was riddled with contradictions, in part because it was never in any sense an organized movement. Pete [Seeger]'s interests and accomplishments were similarly broad, and at times similarly contradictory. It is always tempting to simplify a story, to give characters particular attributes or have them represent particular viewpoints. In stories about Bob Dylan, the youth culture of the 1960s, and the rise of rock, Seeger is often given the role of conservative gatekeeper, stuck in the past, upholding old rules and ideals that were perhaps noble but certainly outdated. There is some truth in that simplification, just as there is some truth in the simplification that Dylan was a cynical careerist, but both obscure more interesting stories.

Pete would quote his father, Charles Seeger: 'The truth is a rabbit in a bramble patch. One can rarely put one's hand upon it. One can only circle around and point, saying, "It's somewhere in there."' If we want to understand the folk revival, Pete is the best person to follow around the brambles, because he was always there, circling, pointing at flashes of sleek fur, perked ears, or shiny eyes--and maybe sometimes only imagining he saw a rabbit and convincing other people they saw it too, and being startled or disappointed when it turned out not to be there, or to be something else. For two or three years in the early 1960s, a lot of people circling that thicket thought Dylan was the rabbit, and at moments some of them thought they'd got their hands on him. And though he always slipped their grasp, for a few years the folk scene was certainly his bramble patch."

However, he provides one example as a way to compose atonal pieces, a pre-twelve-tone technique piece by Anton Webern, which rigorously avoids anything that suggests tonality, to choose pitches that do not imply tonality. In other words, reverse the rules of the common practice period so that what was not allowed is required and what was required is not allowed. This is what was done by Charles Seeger in his explanation of dissonant counterpoint, which is a way to write atonal counterpoint.[28]

More information

Kostka and Payne list four procedures as operational in the atonal music of Schoenberg, all of which may be taken as negative rules. Avoidance of melodic or harmonic octaves, avoidance of traditional pitch collections such as major or minor triads, avoidance of more than three successive pitches from the same diatonic scale, and use of disjunct melodies (avoidance of conjunct melodies).[29]

Further, Perle agrees with Oster[30] and Katz[31] that, "the abandonment of the concept of a root-generator of the individual chord is a radical development that renders futile any attempt at a systematic formulation of chord structure and progression in atonal music along the lines of traditional harmonic theory".[32] Atonal compositional techniques and results "are not reducible to a set of foundational assumptions in terms of which the compositions that are collectively designated by the expression 'atonal music' can be said to represent 'a system' of composition".[33] Equal-interval chords are often of indeterminate root, mixed-interval chords are often best characterized by their interval content, while both lend themselves to atonal contexts.[34]

Native American Classical: The Lakota Music Project of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra

I had known for some years that American composer Charles Wakefield Cadman (1881-1946), famed for his song, based on “indian themes” which was famously conscripted for use in a…
