hello... welll, this thread couldn't be better timed
for I am on my own little block at the moment. A bit of a tip though, I haven't had writer's block too often, I can think of one instance before this, but I have had... em... writer's boredom a lot. But what I usually do is paint, or make music, or write something completely different. I also found reading non-poetic stuff to help. I have recently been reading a book called 'the properties of matter', an old physics book, and i have started to feel a spark. and also a maths book by Penguin. and with 'A topological space M is called an n-manifold if it 'looks locally like' n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn...' and extremely wonderfully adaptable ideas as that, I am sure we'll be ok.
[side note: deleuzean calculus is a great motivator: "...and an abstract line, a line of flight no less deadly and no less alive than the others. On the first line, there are many words and conversations, questions and answers, interminable explanations, precisions; the second is made of silence, allusions, and hasty innuendos inviting interpretation. But if the third line flashes, if the line of flight is like a train in motion, it is because one jumps linearly on it, one can finally speak "literally" of anything at all, a blade of grass, a catastrophe or sensation, calmly accepting that which occurs when it is no longer possible for anything to stand for anything else. The three lines, however, continually intermingle."]
