Julian Wicks reads during the Uncanny Senior Symposium for Literature Majors was held in the Old Main Lincoln Room on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020.
While I was driving you sat by my side
I saw the horizon gleam over your shoulder.
Summer was high, the trees waving inside
Your golden frame: the eyes of the beholder.
I was so tense I could not even talk
But from my throat my words were trying to rush.
Tempted to stop the car by a sidewalk
I went on driving, blinded by a blush.
I whispered: “It’s all to much, don’t you agree?”
Your mouth stayed closed, in its secret beam.
Our mutual thoughts entwined, over the sea:
That was my feeling then, it was my dream.
‘Cause words are always meaningless, and we pretend to read
The other one’s true feelings, while we echo our need.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

I am a decentered circle
my weight shifts and shifts
and falls and falls
I am trapped by my instability
weighed down by my weight
How much a star must suffer
No loose ends swim in my waters
I tie them all to my belt
dragging the load of certainly with me
Always upstream
never with the current
that is my path
my determination
my choice
My will is strong
but its content
undetermined
All I have is drive
but I channel it
into empty ravines
Remembrance and regrets
they too are part of venture
Life is too overwhelming
as that a single voice
could ever capture it all
I love you precisely because
you possess a strong commitment
to challenging paradigms of oppression
Float untied
The knot’s a noose
Should I fly
yes I should
I should sore like an eagle
but there is no flight
no reaching up high
without learning to float
Which birds are stupid
enough to fly carelessly
their flight is perilous
but skill carves out
a space for safety

I am a girl, but if I was a male
Would you love me so much to kiss my lips?
You say the strength of love is a hot gale
That my clothes and my will strokes and rips.
Are you sure you’re a girl? ‘Cause my blond hair
Is much longer that yours; and my slim neck
Is more slender than yours; and I can’t bear
To guess no more. And so, let’s check.
Do you think you may ask me to unveil
My secrets at first meet? I wonder why
You believe there are proofs that cannot fail.
And so, let’s kiss before we say goodbye.
Closed the velvet curtain, they kissed, hidden by shame:
And when their lips were joined, then love could say its name.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

A skein of ideas, images, views:
So little time to think, so long the day
And winter coming. I knit warmer garments
Hoping for spring, of course; my hands busy
In the manual work, my eyes skipping
From the book to the needles,
From the needles to the yarn.
For there is no difference from meditating:
I immerse myself in the tangle
And avoid the knots.
(Free verse, SiRiChandra)
This is where I crank ideas.
I happen to own a laptop as well as a desktop pc, and so far, I established the habit of working on my laptop and using my desktop to surf / play games / make music / whatnot.
Btw, pardon the b/w photo, I was feeling kinda arty.
On 3 July 2018, participants of English PEN's Brave New Voices programme came together for a special celebration event. The evening marked the launch of latest anthology The Future House with readings from the book.
Brave New Voices is English PEN's ongoing creative writing outreach programme for young people from refugee and asylum-seeker backgrounds.

Better not to look at the pictures
Coming from the past. Faces long forgotten,
People long forgotten, names that don’t come to mind.
Some of them are no more with us.
Coming from the past, faces long forgotten
Look at you from the screen.
Some of them are no more with us,
And despite this, we remember their names more easily.
Look at you! From the screen
Unwrinkled, shiny eyes
(And despite this, we remember their names more easily)
Here comes the band, and you are among them.
Unwrinkled, shiny eyes
Over velvety cheeks
Here comes the band - and you are among them -
Staring at the floor, copycatting a Yes album cover.
Over velvety cheeks,
The band aims to look grown up, professional
Staring at the floor, copycatting a Yes album cover.
Look at them: they appear more childish.
The band aims to look grown up, professional.
Sporting school jumpers, cheap jeans,
- Look at them - they appear more childish
And still we don’t remember their names.
Sporting school jumpers, cheap jeans,
They are our brothers, our lovers,
And still we don’t remember their names:
Better not to look at the pictures.
(Pantoum by SiRiChandra)
An old picture of the Ilios, late '70.
Someone is no more with us.

Since they needed the light, they chased whales.
They went whale hunting when the world was new
Fighting against the sun, riding the gales,
Leaving the docks with poorly woven sails.
So many were the seaways they went through:
Since they needed the light, they chased whales.
They ran after the giant fishes’ tails
And many men were lost among the crew
Fighting against the sun, riding the gales.
They wrote the stories and we red the tales
Of sailors maimed and drowned in the slough:
Since they needed the light, they chased whales.
In ancient times a leviathan so pale
Became a legend, and his name we knew.
Since they needed the light, they chased whales
Fighting against the sun, riding the gales.
(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)
My everyday necklace with a whale tail.
The other one is a turquoise stone.
