Toni Morrison: 'I want to feel what I feel. Even if it's not happiness' I first met Toni Morrison about 15 years ago, to talk about her seventh novel, Paradise, an encounter I remember largely for its number of terrifying pauses. Morrison, in her late 60s then, was at the height of her powers, a Nobel laureate with a famously low tolerance for journalists and critics, and a personal style as distinctive as her prose: silver dreadlocks, sharp, unwavering eye contact and a manner of speech – when she did speak – that, to her annoyance, people were wont to call poetry. Now she sits in her publisher's office in New York, the city laid out beneath her. She looks as grand as ever, but there have been changes. It is right after lunch when, says Morrison, she is accustomed to napping. "Not any more! It is hard to believe Morrison is 81. "There's nothing inside that's 81. Her latest novel, Home, is set in the aftermath of the Korean war and coincides with that sentimentalised period of American history that Morrison remembers rather differently. Why short? Game face.

How Bob Dylan Found His New Voice on 'Nashville Skyline' In June 1969, two months after Nashville Skyline landed in stores, Bob Dylan told Rolling Stone founder Jann S. Wenner that he'd originally had a different name in mind for his latest album. "The title came up John Wesley Harding, Volume II," he said. "We were gonna do that." He'd been flirting with country music for a few years, but this is the album where Dylan fully embraced the influence of Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Dylan claimed cutting out smoking was all it took to unlock the surprising baritone croon he debuted on the LP: "I tell you, you stop smoking those cigarettes, and you'll be able to sing like Caruso." A few days after the initial sessions for Nashville Skyline, Dylan returned to the studio with his buddy Johnny Cash.

Mary Wollstonecraft Quite a Garage Sale: 11 Highlights From the Bob Dylan Archive Photo For decades, Bob Dylan has offered up glimpses of himself with the “Bootleg” series of outtakes and demos. But until now, nobody knew exactly what the Bob Dylan Archive held: more than 6,000 items from Mr. Dylan’s personal collection, almost none of which have been seen publicly before. The material, which is still being sorted through by specialists, is being transferred to Tulsa, Okla., where it will be cataloged, digitized and displayed. Fans have long known about a mysterious notebook in which Mr. This disjointed film, rejected for broadcast by ABC, has detailed editing notes and a mission statement that seems to channel Allen Ginsberg: “Music & the abstraction of the condition of the music to illustrate the Prolonged Mind destroyed & re-created thru the process of previous experience.” Mr. Among the highlights of hundreds of original tapes are the complete recordings from Mr. Two manuscripts of Dylan’s 2004 memoir, with the author’s handwritten edits.

A 'delighted' Archbishop Tutu makes hush-hush visit to Finsbury Park to meet youth workers on Andover estate Archbishop Tutu chatted to young people about ‘their struggles Archbishop Tutu and Mary Robinson in the bus that visits the estate every week Published: 6 July, 2012 by PETER GRUNER ONE of the world’s most famous freedom fighters, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, made a secret visit to Finsbury Park on Wednesday to meet youth workers on the Andover estate. The visit, accompanied by Mary Robinson, first female President of Ireland, was so low key that even Islington’s most important dignitaries, Town Hall leader Catherine West and MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry, were not invited. The Archbishop asked for no publicity on the day so that he could concentrate on talking to young people from the estate “about their struggles, challenges and hopes for the future”. The Archbishop and Ms Robinson are members of The Elders, a group of independent leaders currently in London working together for peace, justice and human rights worldwide. They aim to provide positive support for young people.

Best Dylan covers 2 clicks for videos Getty Image On Friday, Bob Dylan released Fallen Angels, his second straight album of all covers, the first being last year’s Shadows In The Night.

Walter Segal by Colin Ward WALTER SEGAL - Community Architect by Colin Ward The name of the late Walter Segal is now synonymous with self build housing. Whenever people meet to discuss what they could do to house themselves, someone mentions the Segal system of quickly-built, timber-framed dwellings which are environmentally friendly, and seem to generate friendship among the self build groups that have succeeded in housing themselves this way. The heartbreaks and delays that self builders experience are not to do with the process of building itself, but, as Walter Segal used to observe, are the result of the inflated price of land, the rigidities of planning and building controls, and the difficulty of getting mortgage loans for anything out of the ordinary. The Segal approach was essentially that of the medieval English house, or the American frame-house, or the Japanese house, but with the timber frame calculated and based on modular dimensions to avoid waste and to facilitate alterations and enlargements.

Bob Dylan's First Permanent Public Work Of Art - Santa Monica Observer When MGM National Harbor opens its doors in Prince George's County, Maryland later this year, guests will be ushered into the $1.3 billion resort casino through "Portal," a sculpted iron archway designed by legendary folk artist Bob Dylan. The 26-foot by 15-foot custom piece will adorn the west entrance as part of the property's art collection and is Dylan's first permanent work of art for a public space. "Mr. Dylan is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians of our time, but his incredible metalwork sculptures are a testament to his creative genius and ability to transcend mediums," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International. "As a company founded upon entertainment, we're truly inspired by artists who channel their energy into diverse paths. Dylan has sculpted iron pieces for family and friends for the past 30 years, but it wasn't until 2013 – at London's Halcyon Gallery in an exhibition called Mood Swings – that his metal artwork was first viewed publicly.

Maternity homes | The Salvation Army | The Mothers' Hospital (1890-1986) | Hospitals | From Fever to Consumption - The Story of Healthcare in Hackney 183 Amhurst Road was originally a 'rescue home for unmarried mothers' © Natasha Lewer Hopetown, 165 Lower Clapton Road, was established during the First World War as a 'home for mothers and infants' By Natasha Lewer Pregnant outside marriage Girls and women who became pregnant outside marriage frequently found themselves ostracised and thrown out of their jobs and their homes.

How Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize-winning lyrics serve humanity Last week’s announcement that Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature provoked mixed feelings in American literary circles. While many fans rejoiced, some authors like Jodi Picoult wondered if a musician getting a literary prize now qualifies book authors to win Grammys. Even my friend David Wolf, an English professor who plays Dylan songs with a rock band and taught a course on Dylan at Simpson College in Iowa, found the choice problematic. Noting that no U.S. poet has received the prestigious prize to date, he observed that great ones like Adrienne Rich and Lucille Clifton were overlooked in their lifetimes. I get that. And that breaking of barriers between disciplines is a big part of what has made him such a towering, seminal figure in so many lives. Rob Borsellino was a newspaper editor, a Des Moines Register columnist and a one-time rock musician, who wrote in his highschool yearbook that his life’s ambition was to meet Bob Dylan. He’s taught in his school
