Dave Fox: The Man Who Spoke Through His Ears
By DAVE FOX
Los Alamos
The Man Who Spoke Through His Ears
The man who spoke through his ears
Had been listening for years and years.
It was discovered by his parents
When as a child he learned to speak
That his larynx would play back
Through his ears
The incredible leaks
Of all he’d ever heard
Throughout his listening,
But non-speaking years.
Thus, he became the official recorder of record,
With no flaws at all,
Of all the truths, half-truths, lies,
And tales too tall.
Not only the official recorder,
But the official play-backer, too.
For there was never any difference
between what he had heard
And the Read More

Rector of Saint Job of Pochaiv Orthodox Church
Every artist and writer has faced it as some point in their work: blank page, a lump of clay, a white canvas that seems to stretch on forever. Nothing can be as intimidating as the moment before creation, that moment of no return when an idea demands to be brought to fruition or finally scrapped and mourned as lost potential.
Today in my shop I studied a lump of clay. Pugged (yes, it’s a thing), deaired, and perfectly packaged to remain pliable. It was about ten pounds, give or take, of Read More
