as someone who doesn’t care for richard brautigan (minus his donner party poem) because i find him kind of hack-y but am always willing to give poets another try, do you have any recs for particular poems/collections that resonate??
I remember like absolutely loving his kind of sci-fi/post apocalypse novel “in watermelon sugar.” I read it so many years ago that I’m not sure I would 100% stand by it today but I just remember it being a really fun read with some really compelling themes. And I remember it blew my mind for having been written in the 60s. I read that and like two other novels of his because haruki murakami cited him as an influence and I had a phase where I loved murakami (still do but ykwim). Liked them all but watermelon sugar is the one that actually stuck in my mind.
I terms of poetry collections....He’s really much more of a novelist than a poet but i personally think every single poem in “loading Mercury with a pitchfork” slaps!! I think it’s out of print? I got it for five bucks at a Bay Area used bookstore five years ago. It’s good. I might scan and upload it all someday (it’s what he would have wanted it, he didn’t like copyright laws). But anyway that’s the book that “fuck me like fried potatoes” which is like “the William carlos williams I need in my late 20s” to me but I assume might be in the category of poems that didn’t do it for you since you didn’t specifically exclude it...so you may not want to go through the trouble of finding it
I also have “all watched over by machines of loving grace” and “Rommel drives deep into Egypt.” I remember really really liking machines of loving grave (and I think it’s the one that hits for most people) but I haven’t reread either of them in full since high school, just flipped them open to read some fave lines

picking random ones from the list without looking first: 10 17 18 25
10. what was your first concert?
Im pretty sure it was the indigo girls as a baby, but my parents and I saw them and pink martini at zoo tunes every summer for a while so first concert I remember going to is one of them
17. if you could go back in time and attend any artist/band’s concert that you were unable to attend, who would it be and when?
I almost went to the mountain goat’s goths tour but chickened out cause I didn’t want to go by myself. I also would’ve loved to go to one of the non-festival concerts on the be the cowboy tour cause people who were only there for edm kept heckling which was a fucking bummer
I just answered 18
25. name a song that makes you think about someone you love
I did already answer this but another one is michelle by the beatles which reminds me of my mom cause that’s her name and whenever it comes on she tells me how her dad used to sing it to her :-)

i'd looooove to hear about what your influences were and are for the noir fic and what elements of the genre you were most excited to include in the fic!!
Ohhhh goodness, where to start??? I know we’ve talked noir before but it’s been one of my favorite genres since childhood, and I got quite into the history/themes in college. It all began with the idea of Hawkeye being a detective, of course, largely inspired by @californiasplit’s art. I wanted my noirhawk to be kind of a cool loser (Long Goodbye style 😎), a tragic figure who talks a big game about wanting to be alone but who only chooses that out of fear and/or misplaced selflessness (perhaps a little Out of the Past???). There’s a really fun kind-of-forgotten noir with Franchot Tone called I Love Trouble that I watched last year, I realized as I was formulating the plot that there are some similarities there… I wanted BJ to totally stump Hawkeye, really throw him for a loop, make all his instincts go haywire so he can’t tell if he’s being played or if BJ is for real (a little bit Maltese Falcon). I had a lot of fun figuring out how other characters would fit in. There’s a little bit of Laura (Laura) in Peg… a lot of Velda (Kiss Me Deadly) in Klinger… some Elisha Cook Jr vibes from Radar (he’s even a jazz drummer in The Phantom Lady, although of course he turns out to be way more of a creep than our Radar).
As far as elements of the genre — I was pretty conflicted about whether I should write in first person. I feel like the voiceover is such an iconic part of noir, how could I not? I toyed with some other ideas of how to make it work, but ultimately I’m really glad I decided to do the whole thing with Hawkeye’s absurd internal monologue. I set it in San Francisco of course — I’m one of those people who draws a distinction between California and New York noir, and this feels like a California story to me — it’s about space rather than the lack of it. There are a lot of very clear cliches in the dialogue, the first chapter especially — I think those fade a little bit as we and Hawkeye get deeper into the story and he starts to get really involved and see it less as a movie and more as his life. I hope the plot feels pretty noir too — there are twists and turns, some of which may turn out to be dead ends, and I think the way things do or don’t resolve will feel thematically familiar to those in the know ☺️

1. song for sharon (hejira) 2. california (blue) 3. people’s parties / the same situation - i count these as one track because i would never listen to one without the other (court and spark) 4. in france they kiss on main street (the hissing of the summer lawns) 5. ladies of the canyon (ladies of the canyon)
📓!!
Maddie!!!!!! A pleasant surprise, so I'm gonna tell you about two concepts 🥳
The first, which I really really want to write is of course Country Singer Trap, a small time country singer in the late 1960s, going from town to town singing 100% political songs. He meets Hawkeye in a bar in West Virginia, they hook up, and the rest is history. Everyone remembers John for his sappy love songs, nobody ever knows that they were about Hawkeye - older liberals remember his political songs. AND also BJ is a mechanic, whom Trapper 100% writes a jealous song called "Good with his Hands" about.
The second is Back to the Future AU, my beloved <3. Essentially BJ is a teen in 1985, his best friend is "Doc" Daniel Pierce... only when Doc invents a time machine, BJ accidentally goes back in time to 1955, where he has to make his parents fall in love... all while falling in love with Daniel's son Hawkeye.
