H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, October 2024

 Here are a few photos I took, at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and CthulhuCon (Portland), 2024. It's always refreshing to hear about the background of movies, both full-length and short. Among the short films that will linger with me: The Outsider, Terminal Emulator, Tranquilizer, and The Patron.

16th Anniversary of Adalbert/ Xothique Blog

 Here we are -- today is the 16th anniversary of this blog, as we slither deeper into the third millennium. To mark today, I'll post a digital collage/ drawing -- Charleville Transmission -- which I concocted the other day. It's dedicated to the memory of blogger, and collage artist, Ray Wallis. #rimbaud  -JF

The Wreck of the Deutschland: Familial Echoes

 

I recently discovered (reading in a poetry anthology), that the poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland, by Gerard Manley Hopkins, contained an indirect reference to my ancestor, Adalbert Falk. The mention was not in a favorable sense. In the piece I assembled above, I selected the extract from Hopkins' poem from: Poetry Foundation. -JF, 2-11-2024
