Apes in the wild have language and it takes only a small leap of imagination to try to give them a second, human, language. For over forty years researchers have been trying to do this with increasingly good results. Our language, when it is passed on to a different species, becomes a new language. PrimatePoetics is born from the realization that this language should be appreciated in its own right, as the greatest revolution in literature since the invention of written Chinese 4000 years ago. 'PrimatePoetics is Here' is the first primer to this new field. It explains where it comes from, it gives an overview of the field on an ape-by-ape basis and closes with an extensive anthology of relevant scientific and artistic sources. But most of all 'PrimatePoetics is Here' hopes to give a feel for the outsider charm of the language of the apes.

I posted a great video clip of Jack Kerouac reading from On The Road on the Old Steve Allen TV show on my page. Allen accompanies Kerouac on the piano. The show aired in 1960, a far cry from today's world of reality TV and American/Canadian Idol. Something to think about after you've enjoyed listening to Kerouac read from his masterpiece.

After a brief visit to the Ottawa Wal-Mart I was inspired to upload this video: Crap, Crap & More Crap from the great Bob Rafelson film Five Easy Pieces. Check it out on my home page. Its even funnier and more relevant today than it was when the film premiered over 30 years ago. The actress is Helena Kallianotes.
"One day he was showing me a painting he made. It was thick with oil, and right as he showed it to me a moth flew into the painting and got stuck - it flew around and its wings created a little circle in his painting, sort of like the death of a moth ... I thought David would pull the moth out and repaint it, but he fell in love with it the way it was."
Thanks! It's an old Halloween costume. Looking forward to our friendship. Please read my excerpts from my novel Burn Your Belongings if you get a chance. I'll be in touch! - DFH
