  • The Philosophy of Modern Song

    Belle RandallARTICLECommon Knowledge2023

    The Philosophy of Modern Song: curious title, a curious book. If you bought it, as I did, because you are a devoted Dylan fan, hoping to find new Dylan songs inside, or at least new Dylan prose, you will be disappointed. In the photo of three musicians on the cover, none of them is Dylan. The one on the left is Little Richard. Who are the other two? Nowhere are we told their names, nor the names of the people in any of the other photos, except fo…

  • Red Comet

    Belle RandallARTICLECommon Knowledge2022

    Gunn told me once that he had gone on a picnic on Primrose Hill with Ted and Sylvia. What was she like? She seemed a very good mother, Thom said, recalling the picnic basket she had prepared, adding that famous people never seemed to behave characteristically when he met them. Although neither Gunn nor Plath could have known it, they would come to have something deeply personal in common. Gunn's mother was a suicide who left her body for her chil…

  • "Letter on the Eve" and Other Poems

    Belle RandallARTICLECommon Knowledge2022

    Letter on the Eve of an Elopementfor S. C.How often do we need remindingMy mother's skin was smooth as eggshell once.My mother's hair was red, like mine, and long,And “I Know Where I'm Going” used to beMy mother's favorite song.With her hat knocked crooked on a summer's nightShe tiptoed up the stairs and brushed alongThe hallway to the danger of the roomWhere her father slept, cheek pressed to palm.All pity like a small girl playing mother,She mu…

  • My Mother's Facelift

    Belle RandallARTICLECommon Knowledge2022

    Black Eyes say Love me or I kill you,Blue eyes say Love me or I die.My mother used to recite these lines for my entertainment when I was seven or eight, quoting some obscure source, in a Spanish accent thrillingly recognizable on the “ke-el” in “I keel you,” imbuing Black Eyes with considerably more drama than my own wishy-washy Blue. When I was nine, the sight of my mother in a strapless black cocktail dress caused me to burst into tears. But wh…

  • Conversations with Wittgenstein, St. Augustine, and Stanley Cavell

    Belle RandallARTICLECommon Knowledge2020

    In memory of Stanley Cavell, a family friend of more than a half-century’s standing writes about his years in Berkeley (1944 to 1964), when he was deciding between music and philosophy as his field and then, eventually, joined the philosophy faculty as a lecturer. This guest column is a collage of diverse original sources—Randall’s poetry and memories, Cavell’s memoir Little Did I Know, and relevant passages in Wittgenstein and Augustine—that inv…

  • "The "High-Brow Effect

    Belle RandallARTICLECommon Knowledge2013

    Skeptical of the arguments put forth in Robert Duncan's long-awaited, post-humously published The H. D. Book, this review essay questions the elevation of Pre-Raphaelite, Aestheticist, and Decadent poetry that forms the basis of Duncan's revisionist canon-a revision in which Wallace Stevens and T. S. Eliot are dismissed as "merely rational," while H. D. and Duncan himself are elevated to the uppermost ranks, just beneath Ezra Pound. The essay foc…
