Susan, here's my favorite translation of my favorite translation of my favorite Mishima book, Spring Snow. It's part of a tetraology called The Sea of Fertility, which he turned into his publisher the day he (rather publicly) performed the samurai ritual of seppuku. The first few of that series are by the same wonderful translator, but the last is by someone else who I don't like as much. My favorite Mishima short story collection (this is honestly a must-read) is called A Death in Midsummer. This is a great edition.

Thanks for the link to Yukio Mishima! Do you recommend a particular translation? Remember, please, that a warrior must act as a sort of alchemist with the raw materials of their emotions–transform it, direct it! There is so much there. And please, allow your fellow warrior friend retreat. There are times when it’s just useless to engage.

Of course it’s not about you, Aaron! Work on the new record continues apace. Five songs done out of a planned ten. Of course, I don’t like it right now.

I definitely still wanna incorporate your work. Did you get my last email? I’ll write again soon. I’m currently in Asheville, NC, and I’m heading to Atlanta tomorrow… will check in when I get back.

Tell VT I said hi!

Casey, I finally listened to your new samples, am still wondering if youre interested in Cthulu Christ… faux civility was never your style, you were always a champ because that’s simply who you are and always have been. I know your past family life wasn’t exactly a 1950′s sitcom, but there is a lot of love in you, and insight, wisdom, and a remarkable talent creatively and interpersonally… It’s never easy to see the blessing in our life when we are mired in our shit, I am speaking from a similar place now. But all i can say is simply to follow and trust your heart man, and things will move in your favor…uh, eventually;0) You got a condo?! Sorry i havent kept in touch, and hope you were not referring to me in this blog, I dont think you were… stay honest and truthful to yourself and the one’s you love, despite the hard times, damn i could rant myself into hypocriticom. anyway, let me know what you want in regards to the illustration for you new work…How is that comming along? BTW, I get to go back to Goddard in VT next week, looking foward to it.
much love and respect
Always
Aaron
