Vinny Golia Quartet – Sfumato
The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy awarded the album 4½ stars and stated “Each piece on the album shines, without a weak link anywhere, and the broad range of timbre, syncopation, and contrasting lines, with astonishing solo performances and versatility, ensures the staying power of an outstanding emblem of radical jazz.”

A Love Supreme Electric: A Love Supreme and Meditations
We checked out a live outing of Henry Kaiser’s Love Supreme Electric project a little while back — but here’s a very nice studio recording of the loosely organized ensemble. A very fun listen; reverent but adventurous, familiar but brand new. Mike Watt and John Hanrahan are an especially strong rhythm section, really getting inside the tunes and allowing the lead players to stretch out and explore. Maybe because it’s the less iconic piece, Meditations feels a little more successful than A Love Supreme ... but it’s all fantastic nonetheless.

Dust Volume 5, Number 3
Photo by Rene Block, Courtesy of the John Cage Trust
In like a lion, that’s how we’ll do March at Dusted, which is to say in a gigantic leap, with blood and innards trailing from a toothy predator’s mouth. Well, that’s the hope, but actually, we’ll probably just listen to some music and write some reviews. Case in point: this edition’s Dust candidates, which include sci-fi techno, a blissed out dub version of “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” a Portuguese guitar duel, some churning stomach fluids and a percussive interpretation of koan-like John Cage. This time, the team was limited—just Bill Meyer, Jennifer Kelly, Jonathan Shaw and Peter Taber—but mostly enthusiastic. We hope you’ll find something to like, too.
CMD — Obscure Worlds (Several Reasons)
Obscure Worlds by CMD
On the face of it, CMD’s Obscure Worlds is a sci fi-themed techno album, which doesn’t do much to separate it from the broader genre. Scratch the surface, and you find an album of detailed techno vignettes that refuse to stand still. In less than three minutes, “Uneven Landing” layers crushed static onto knocking digital debris, with a rapid-fire kick added to the mix two minutes in. On “Obscure Manifestation” a foundation of pulsing static sets the stage for otherworldly peals of feedback. “Death of a Galaxy” reaches toward the undulating bass engineering of an Yves de Mey track. “Through the Wormhole” hints at industrial fuzz a la AnD while maintaining a bit more restraint, with a switch-up in the kick pattern four minutes in that isn’t exactly characteristic for techno. Given the density of musical ideas, many of the tracks could have been extended, but they last long enough to satisfy. If the album’s concept was intended to prompt a creative, concise set of techno variations, it did the trick. Obscure Worlds feels like getting a glimpse into a techno sound-design obsessive’s sketchbook, in the best possible way.
Peter Taber
Julien Desprez / Luís Lopes—Boa Tarde (Shhpuma)
youtube
The title translates from Portuguese as Good Afternoon, and from the sound of this record it was. Both Julien Desprez and Luís Lopes are known for bringing the electricity to jazz ensembles, but when you put a couple of guitarists together it’s possible that they will connect around the instrument, not any particular genre. So it is here, but just what instrument are we talking about? The electric guitar? The amplifier? The pedals? Or all of the above? Let’s go with the latter, because this music is more about the interplay of timbres, textures, contours and sound waves than melodies, harmonies or beats. Imagine the jousting of train sounds issuing from converging valleys, the shudder of twin flexing suspension bridges or maybe just the shared sweet spots of a couple guys who probably wore out more than one CD player spinning Thurston Moore and Nels Cline’s Pillow Wand. Or don’t imagine at all, just listen to this artifact of one good afternoon in Lisbon.
Bill Meyer
Carol Genetti / Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson — Chyme (Suppedeneum)
Carol Genetti’s vocals operate beyond the boundaries of language. On Chyme, which is named after that gurgling stuff that sloshes around in your stomach after you eat, she electronically manipulates and juxtaposes sounds that humans have been making since before they thought up the first words. You might get disoriented trying to make sense of her pre-lingual exhalations and utterances, so visual artist Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson has prepared a listening score for each of the CD’s four tracks. Each score is a vibrantly colored, circuitously shaped paper cutout, the handling of which will put you (back?) in touch with the experience of pre-GPS, map-based navigation. Anderson’s combination of vibrant colors and text cues prod you out of passive listening and into a vocal / visual interaction with the sounds, which are by turns eerily beautiful and absolutely hackle raising. You will not encounter another record like Chyme.
Bill Meyer
Golden Daze—Simpatico (Autumn Tone)
Simpatico by Golden Daze
Hold up, you don’t need musical difficulty all of the time. No, there are hours and days and (occasionally) weeks when you don’t want propulsion or tension or contradictory impulses in your tunes. Life itself is full of that shit. You want something easy. You want something like Golden Daze’s Simpatico, an edgeless, frictionless, limpid pool of baroque pop, with soft whispery vocals and sumptuous clouds of guitar flurries and bright bars of electronic keyboards, unending prettiness, unconflicted lemon-y wistfulness. “Blue Bell,” the single, is like the Clientele with the bones picked out, an enveloping haze of pastel colored sound. There’s a bit of drumming in a song called “Drift,” but it only seems to heightened the disembodied floating-ness of the song’s breathy sway. “Simpatico,” at the end, emerges out of haze and fog, with warm, brushes of guitar and soft, dreaming verses, then slips out of sight. Golden Daze indeed.
Jennifer Kelly
Golia, Kaiser, Moses, Smith, Walter — Astral Plane Crash (Balance Point Acoustics)
BPA 18 Astral Plane Crash by Golia / Kaiser / Moses / Smith / Walter
p>Henry Kaiser, Damon Smith and Weasel Walter are Plane Crash, a guitar-bass-drums trio tough enough that it doesn’t have to act tough. The musicians’ common bonds are an appreciation for the atomized activity of vintage English free improvisation and a shared determination to communicate intensity through intent and focus, not bluster. Things get cosmic when you bring in West coast woodwind veteran Vinny Golia and drummer Ra Kalam Bob Moses, who played with Rahsaan Roland Kirk at an age when most kids are first trying to cadge their parents’ car keys. Moses and Golia had never played together, but they roomed in the 1960s, and their presence complicates Astral Plane Crash’s prevailing MO of quick micro-interaction in interesting ways. The flutes and saxophones run thick and slow under APC’s dust devil swirl. And Moses and Walter sound like their having a blast making like converging storm clouds, each pelting hail stones from a different direction so there’s no way you won’t get a chill down your neck. At two tracks and a hair under 80 minutes, this is all-in stuff, but when the changes come as quick and compelling as they do here that’s a feature, not a bug.
Bill Meyer
Matt Hannafin / John Cage—Four Realizations For Solo Percussion (Notice Recordings)
Four Realizations for Solo Percussion by John Cage & Matt Hannafin
In a life of ideas that spans 79 years, a guy might change his mind. John Cage famously expressed disregard for jazz, the most notable American manifestation of musical improvisation in the 20th century. But his problem was more with corrosive expressions of the self and human prejudice than it was with improvisation per se, thus his preference for chance operations. You can’t impose your personal bullshit when you submit to the random. Near the end of his life he dropped his opposition enough to write compositions that invited improvisation, which was distinct from chance operations. If that sounds like a convoluted process, consider the name of this tape’s first piece. “c Ȼomposed Improvisation for One-Sided Drums with or without Jangles” reads like a koan, which makes some sense given Cage’s engagement with Buddhist teachings. That’s just one of the four pieces that Oregonian percussionist Matt Hannafin recorded for this tape (or download, which is probably a more Buddhist format than a tape). In his hands, Cage’s music becomes a vehicle for feeling both the presence of a healthy blow and the unoccupied presence of the variably proportioned spaces where Hannafin isn’t hitting anything.

Gerrit Hatcher — Parables for the Tenor (Astral Spirits)
Parables For The Tenor by Gerrit Hatcher
One listener’s marvelously wigged-out sound is another’s torture. An audience member’s transformative listening experience might be in response to a sound producer’s moment of hollow display. You might hate a person’s most sincere expression or be deeply moved by something they do with their fingers and lungs while they try to remember where they left their bottle opener. Chicago-based tenor saxophonist Gerrit Hatcher had these existential quandaries in mind as he recorded the six solo tracks on this tape, and who’s to say if that’s why this music has such bite? Maybe it’s better to note that he makes sounds that feel linked to the work of certain Sun Ra associates and Archie Shepp into statements that don’t sound irrelevant at the tail end of the second decade of the 21st century. Hang with him while he blows and you might be changed, either because he’s ripping transformative shapes in the air or because that’s already where you’re taking yourself. Either way, what do you have to lose?

Hübsch Martel Zoubek — Otherwise (Insub)
Otherwise by Hübsch, Martel, Zoubek
There’s a world of improvised music that never crosses that precious Yankee border, and this is group is part of that world. Take one German tuba player, one Canadian viola da gamba player and another German on piano, throw in some pitch pipes and a synthesizer and what do you have? You have the raw material for a session of highly refined interaction. On the spectrum from process-oriented to outcome-oriented improvisation, these musicians tend more to the latter pole. The piano has been prepared to render gamelan-in-a-box sonorities, the tuba’s tones consistently gravitate towards ground-liquifying depths and the strings buzz in splintered contrast. The music unfolds patiently, never lapsing into clutter or confusion, and yet it never telegraphs the next move.

Jäh Division—Dub Will Tear Us Apart…Again (Ernest Jenning)
Dub Will Tear Us Apart...Again by Jäh Division
A jokey side hustle with an aughts all-star psychedelic pedigree, Jäh Division grooved hard, if obscurely, joining a love of dub, a reverence for Joy Division and a clutch of old keyboard gear. The line-up well exceeded solid with Brad Truax on booming, reverb drenched dub bass, Barry London manning a garage sales’ worth of vintage electronics (Roland RS-09, Realistic Concertmate MG-1, a Moog) and Kid Millions busting up organic and synthetic drums. This disc collects songs from a 2004 12-inch, plus bonus material including covers of Desmond Dekker’s “Fu Manchu” and Jackie Mittoo’s “Champion of the Arena.” These two are trippily wonderful, but the heart of this goofy fever dream is a nodding, pulsing, synth wreathed version of “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” It’s a jam that could go on for days or last only a second (technically it goes ong a bit over four minutes), as it distills post-punk and reggae and experimental art rock into an unending now.

Miscarriage — Imminent Horror (Sentient Ruin Laboratories)
Imminent Horror by Miscarriage
Much alike Stormy Daniels’ description of the Chief Executive’s fungoid phallic member, the world didn’t really need this tape from international doom metal crew Miscarriage (who hail from Sweden and the United States) — but now that Imminent Horror is here, it’s sort of hard to ignore. And once you’ve heard it, you’ll have a hard time removing it from your memory, much as you might like to. Lots of metal bands like to talk about how “disgusting” and “putrid” their music is. Miscarriage do more than talk. The noises they make sound and feel like a huge bubble of noxious gas painfully working its way through a diseased intestinal track. It’s slow. It’s gross. It doesn’t create any sort of pleasure. It’s only minimally more coherent than listening to the aforementioned Chief Executive attempt to speak in complete sentences. In all those ways, Miscarriage have made music for our times. Good luck to us all.

Shady Bug—Lemon Lime (Exploding in Sound)
Lemon Lime by Shady Bug
Shady Bug, out of St. Louis, makes a mathy pop so stretchy and bendable that you expect a bo-oi-oi-ing when its wandering melodies snap back into place. Under the guidance of classically trained Hannah Rainey, the band sets up intricate, jerry-rigged machinations that work by their own logic. Yet though complicated, these tunes have a vulnerable sweetness to them, mainly due to Raines’ hiccupy sincere delivery, which tips and lists as the wind blows. “Make It Up,” the single floods the sonic plane with power-washing blasts of amplified guitar, then cuts to a jittery next-to-nothing of angling, cross-cutting guitar lines. It’ll remind you of Pavement and, more recently, Speedy Ortiz, except in a fetching, kid-sibling-ish way that tugs at your sleeve and your heart.

Looking back on 2019 I decided to list a handful of political / alternative news websites rather than films, albums or books. In the UK the corporate media stooped to shocking new lows during our recent General Election campaign. Such dirty tactics are to be expected of conglomerates owned by the likes of Rupert Murdoch and his fellow right wing billionaires but this time around, previously ‘liberal’ outlets such as the BBC and Guardian also fully participated in the outrageous lies, smears and character assassination against the leader of the opposition Labour Party. The British population were now being forced fed the Establishment’s propaganda du jour from every possible direction. Personally I try to gather my information from as many alternative outlets as possible to contrast with the 24 hour corporate brainwashing we’re subjected to these days. I’ve listed just five sites from the dozens I regularly visit and although I certainly don’t agree with everything expressed on these sites I do feel that it essential that in supposed free and democratic societies we are at least exposed to a variety of viewpoints and opinions - rather than being trapped inside social media echo chambers in an Internet that is increasingly controlled and censored by sophisticated algorithms and where politically correct digital lynch mobs accuse anyone with an opinion that contradicts the official narrative of being a Russian agent! Anyway, a Happy New Year to you all and here’s hoping 2020 sets the new decade off in roaring style!

Weasel Walter
Composer/performer / label head https://weaselwalter.bandcamp.com/
2019 was far from my favorite year. Regardless, I managed to release not one, but two new double albums by The Flying Luttenbachers (as well as two European tours with the unit) in addition to the usual slew of improvised music gigs and releases, and co-ordinating and producing an archival release of vintage NYC weirdness (Ozone). I also rocked Mexico City with Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, played a ridiculous gig with Encenathrakh, and disbanded Cellular Chaos (for now, at least).
When I become obsessed (or re-obsessed with something), it usually leads to a ton of proselytizing Facebook status posts. Combing my 2019 posts, it seems that my musical obsessions this year weren't very highbrow. Ha ha ha. Yes, I'm super into Xenakis, Cecil Taylor and whatever else, but dumber music can supply great creature comfort, and I guess I needed that in large amounts, so that's what it was. Sometimes badass modernists have to take time out to stay in bed all day and read comics because it's a hard cold world out there.
Weasel Walter top 10 musical obsessions of 2019 1. Kid Creole and the Coconuts (1980-1985 era) 2. Redd Kross 3. The Saints "I'm Stranded" 4. Jane Aire and the Belvederes 5. Miles Davis 1972-1975 6. Khanate "Things Viral 7. Mandy Zone & Ozone "Live at Max's Kansas City 1981" 8. Mayhem "Grand Declaration of War" 9. Comedy Bang Bang Episode #554 w/ Middleditch, Sanz 10. Weezer "Pinkerton"

World-Renowned Percussionist Randy Gloss Releases his Second Solo album, "...The Ayes Have It, Vol. II: Self-Portraits in Percussion" on Orenda Records
For decades, percussionist Randy Gloss has been recognized as one of the world’s leading hand percussion virtuosi, with an astounding breadth of knowledge and cultural understanding. An expert in musical traditions from across the globe, he brings a deep and expansive approach to rhythm and percussive sounds as he once again dives into personal exploration. As Gloss’s new solo album’s title suggests, “…The Ayes Have It” Vol. II: Self-Portraits in Percussion is, on one hand, a seamless continuation and companion to Vol. I (released on Orenda Records in 2015), while on the other, a stand-alone narrative, showcasing new directions, different facets, instruments, and ideas not explored on the first. On both, Randy Gloss explores an extensive palette of sonic possibilities through a deeply reflective and personal approach, with the world of percussion and rhythm as brush and canvas, utilizing the double LP vinyl record format as it’s frame.
A protégé of renowned percussion vanguard John Bergamo and longtime student of tabla maestro Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Randy Gloss is a percussionist whose background performing several modalities of hand drums, contemporary percussion, and drum set has led to his involvement in many innovative ensembles that fuse world music with new music and jazz. Most notable for his work with Hands On’Semble, a percussion group devoted to the art of hand drumming created by John Bergamo in 1997 (with Randy Gloss, Andrew Grueschow, and Austin Wrinkle) and multiple recipient of Drum! Magazine Reader’s Poll Award for Best Percussion Ensemble and Best Percussion Album, Gloss has performed and lectured throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia at many of the world’s premier percussion and world music festivals, music schools and conservatories. Randy has also worked with an extensive array of world renowned artists including: reggae superstar Ziggy Marley, violin icon L. Shankar, pianist Larry Karush, The Lian Ensemble; percussionist Adam Rudolph’s “Go: Organic Orchestra” and world percussion group Vashti; slide veena virtuoso Chitravina Ravikiran, Balkan/Indian maestros Aashish Khan, Swapan Chaudhuri, Miroslav Tadic, Vlatko Stefanovski; Romanian pan flute virtuoso Damian Draghici; overtone singer David Hykes; Turkish musician Latif Bolat; Vinny Golia’s Large Ensemble; pianist Ardeshir Rohani; flautist Nicole Mitchell, pianist Dan Siegel, and South Indian percussionist Poovalur Sriji to name only some. He has also contributed percussion for film soundtracks by composers Danny Elfman, Harry Gregson-Williams, and Gary Chang, and is on faculty at California Institute of the Arts, where he has taught since the late 90’s
On “…The Ayes Have It” Vol. II: Self-Portraits in Percussion Randy Gloss brings all his experience to bear in an incredible set of solo compositions featuring a dizzying array of percussive instruments, including aFrame (electrorganic frame drum); tabla; frame drums; metal restaurant pot; mason jar; water; double row mark tree; bamboo mark tree; vibraslap; gongs; tuned gongs; cymbals; bells; antique cymbal with jingles; dafs; dhavul/ tappan; handsonic; riq; drumset; pandeiro; cuica; congas; gankogui; dholak; vibraphone; cheng-cheng; reco-reco; bull roars; and wind wands. This gorgeous double LP, mixed by John Baffa and mastered by Stephen Marsh, is presented as a limited-edition double gatefold two LP vinyl album with accompanying booklet and digital download card, original artwork by Eron Rauch, and extensive liner notes by Randy Gloss.

“Nella mia notte interminabile”: il romanzo sulla vita di Emily Dickinson, l’angelo del quotidiano
L’eccentrico, estasiante Luca Merdone, dietro a cui si nasconde un ardito lettore, mi ha fatto conoscere Christian Bobin un tot di anni fa. Fui rincuorato da questo scroscio di farfalle sotto la camicia. Felicemente tradotto in Italia da una miriade di piccoli, delicati editori (provo a non dimenticarli tutti: Gribaudi, Servitium, Quiqajon, San Paolo, AnimaMundi, Camelozampa…), nel 2007, per Gallimard, pubblica il delizioso “La dame blanche”, in omaggio a Emily Dickinson. Abbiamo eletto questo fascicolo, dedicato al poeta irraggiungibile, come nostro, condiviso ‘libro dell’estate’. Dopo i primi assaggi (qui e qui) ecco altre pagine, tradotte da Anna Maria Biondi.
**
Allo stato attuale delle cose, nel quale più nessuno sente niente, compare, accanto alla notizia sul giornale, un odore di vinaccia e di cane bagnato in cui suo padre ha vissuto e viene interrato.
Dove i corni d’oro di caprifoglio, le rose stupite di calore e stipate davanti Evergreen, e la fortuna indiscussa dei Dickinson, emanano un odore più meritevole, Susan lavora per ampliare il suo mondo. Gli invitati – uomini di legge, politici, scrittori, in giro per conferenze – si accalcano come calabroni sotto la lanterna dell’ingresso, prigionieri degli occhi neri della padrona di casa, soggiogati dalla sua durezza, dai suoi scialli indiani rossi e dai braccialetti d’argento tintinnanti ai suoi polsi. Dalla sua camera, di cui una finestra è rivolta su Evergreen, Emily guarda i grandi salire i gradini di granito.
Gli scrittori che l’epoca acclama – come Emerson, pensatore reputato all’invisibile, che ha appena trascorso una notte presso Austin e Susan – ignorano che essi stanno sbagliano porta e che il più grande poeta del secolo è proprio là, nella casa vicina, dietro una tenda di pizzo tremolante.
*
Quando l’eccesso di vanità sale alle labbra di sua cognata, Emily rimette tutto di colpo su di una lettera, con, sopra la gota di carta, uno sfregio improvviso: “i tuoi ricchi mi insegnano la povertà, Susie”.
*
Susan insegna ad Emily la soprannaturale insufficienza di ogni amore.
In risposta Emily riporta a Susan la pienezza che dà alla vita il fatto di pensarla e di scriverla. Le mostra i suoi poemi. Uno di questi, evocando i morti nella sala d’attesa della resurrezione – la loro “camera di alabastro” – viene riscritto dopo la critica di Susan. Costei è menzionata nei poemi, Cleopatra, Golia, Vesuvio, Eternità e, in tre poemi erotici, Bambola. Il genio di Susan è di lasciare giungere a sé migliaia di nomi d’amore senza scacciarne uno solo e senza nemmeno veramente rispondere. In questa assenza di eco l’anima di Emily si galvanizza, come un bimbo che, dalla sua camera nera, chiami invano sua madre e finisca per ottenebrarsi con le sue proprie lacrime.
Nel giugno 1852 Emily scrive a Susan, che soggiornava al tempo a Baltimora, una lettera nella quale inserisce delle violette. Il portalettere è il padre di Emily che passa per Baltimora per recarsi all’assemblea del suo partito. Edward immagina di trasmettere una lettera da ragazze, qualcosa di vaporoso e d’inutilmente sofisticato. Il suo puritanesimo lo acceca.
Fra le mani di un maestro di Amherst, qualche foglietto d’oro bruciante, con, sulla busta che lo protegge, queste parole scritte a matita da Emily: “aprimi molto dolcemente”.
*
Tre bambini nascono a Susan, suo malgrado. Il primo, Ned, �� epilettico, come se il tremolio di spavento di fronte alla povertà, che la madre aveva sotterrato in fondo alla sua anima, fosse tornato e scuotere la carne del figlio. Austin dà a un cavallo della sua scuderia lo stesso nome del fanciullo: il baio chiaro e flessuoso lo compensa della tristezza di avere generato un bambino tremolante come le foglie secche in cima ai rami in autunno. Questa nascita provoca un primo allontanamento di Emily, appena percettibile – il vapore di un respiro su uno specchio. Le sue lettere continuano a battere le ali davanti alla finestra di Susan – miliardi di parole dotate di una vita imperiosa, imploranti e orgogliose.

Ogni viaggio di Susan trasmette la febbre alle frasi di Emily. “La prossima volta io ti serberò in una bara, ti interrerò in giardino e domanderò ad un uccello di sorvegliarne l’angolo”.
Certo, questo non servirà a nulla: nessun luogo resta immobile, neppure quello che noi incateniamo coi morti.

L’amore fra le due donne irresistibilmente si fessura ma il vaso d’oro, anche se sbrecciato, raccoglie l’acqua di una parola limpida.
Apprendendo che un pomeriggio Susan è passata nella sua casa senza chiamarla, Emily esclama: “Io sarei uscita dal paradiso per aprirti, se avessi saputo che tu eri là”.

Amherst cova i suoi tremila abitanti su di una piana che intrattabili foreste di abeti vegliano: un deserto per Susan che non ama far altro che fuggire a New York per acquistare vestiti neri con lustrini, alla moda intorno al 1860.
In un poema Emily distingue due razze di vincitori. Ci sono quelli che acclamati gioiscono di vestiti scintillanti, di concerti operistici e di viaggi euforizzanti, e coloro che trionfano lasciandosi battere: restano a casa, fieramente vestiti di neve. Nelle grandi città attorno ad Amherst, fioriscono e appassiscono nella stessa serata dei spettacoli di pianoforte o di canto. Ad Emily, proprio come a suo padre, non piacciono queste serate. L’aspetto più stupefacente dello spettacolo sono gli stessi spettatori. Non succede mai nulla ad Amherst e questo nulla è vita allo stato puro. Fra Susan che cerca l’ammirazione mondana ed Emily che cerca il suo nutrimento nel cielo, la distanza aumenta, il freddo cade. Il gelo fa scoppiare il vaso d’oro. Emily ne raccoglie i pezzi dentro il cuore ma non entra più nella casa vicina per sedici anni.

Amherst, di cui Emily ha fatto la sua città santa, è descritta anche da Susan: “Un luogo desolante, senza speranza, adatto a dare ad un angelo il male del suo paese. Le lugubri vibrazioni della campana della chiesa risuonano ancora nelle mie fantasie d’inverno”. Il tono è amaro. Colei che parla è attempata, è alla fine della rappresentazione, la maggior parte degli attori hanno lasciato la scena e, nelle poltrone di prima fila, non restano che morti stupefatti.
Austin – soprannominato «il gallo» in gioventù – l’ha da anni tradita con una donna più gioiosa di lei. Dei loro tre figli la morte ha afferrato il più tenero. Amherst restituisce a Susan il suo disprezzo e dà una reputazione di ubriacona e di civetta a colei che Emily, malgrado il loro allontanamento, non aveva mai smesso di giudicare “timida e senza macchia”.
Poi la morte cattura Susan e la addormenta nel suo erbario.
Gli anni passano sui nomi di queste persone, cancellando i contorni delle contestazioni, facendo brillare le devozioni.

La tomba di Emily, da poco ricoperta, diviene un campo di battaglia. Passato l’infalsificabile stupore del dolore, la famiglia legge i poemi, penna alla mano. Il poema «avevo una sorella in casa e un’altra dall’altra parte dell’aia», dedicato a Susan, è radiato da Vinnie, e la dedica cancellata. Un altro, evocante il petto di Susan sul quale Emily sogna di piangere, è attribuito all’insospettabile moglie di un pastore. Ma la voce di Emily, invincibile per la propria purezza, fa uscire la sua amica dagli inferni: nel vialetto di ghiaia bordato di altee, fra le due case dei Dickinson, traversando le censure e la morte, appare una Susan trasfigurata, che si sfrega le mani l’una contro l’altra per fare scomparire una macchia di vino visibile solo a lei stessa.

“Dovessi errare nella mia notte interminabile, io mormorerò ancora: Sue”.

Un canto si eleva, che i poemi lasciano filtrare. Cerca di dire il più puro ed il più vero. I libri mantengono il canto vivente dopo la morte della poetessa, ma la poesia non si deposita solo nei libri. A volte passa senza fare rumore, come l’angelo del quotidiano che non vede nulla. Il pane di spezie per i bambini e i guanciali rimessi sotto la testa divagante della madre erano più puri e più veri di tutto.
