Hence, 'Jose-Luis'; which gratifies this scrivener's sense of self-worth in a world filled with Joses, famous and none-too-famous. To his friends, he is Jose, and to one very good friend, it is 'Josef' - others may refer to him as 'Joe' or 'Yousef' - yet no one calls him 'Pepe' because he still is (bless him) 'Pepito'. His father is a poet/metaphysician, a pater-in-spirit published; and his father's father was a boxer, a dragon given to drink &amp;amp; toxicity. So proceed the events enchained by the recurrence of a name - variations on a theme lost in a conspectus of what JHVH increases - a genealogy as yet unwrit, dim-seen...

During the month of May I composed ten paintings (acrylic on canvas or cedar) ranging from 6"x6" to 5'x5'. This painting is the fourth in my series Strains.   The first paintings in the series were gennerated from a sketch  I made after the minimalist style in 1997 while watching The Andromeda Strain. The term strain has several connotations. Those which provide a lense for the viewing of this painting : (music) a series of musical phrases that create a distinct melody of a piece, (biology) a variant of a plant, virus or bacterium, or to pass through a filtering agent such as a strainer, to embrace or clasp tightly; hug. The image to the right, the original sketch for My Pager's in My Other Pants, was composed during an art history class in 1998.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O0kp_LzD9z4/SWxcO9XK4VI/AAAAAAAAAb8/QKg_wzXo1UM/s1600-h/noname-69_2.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O0kp_LzD9z4/SWxcO9XK4VI/AAAAAAAAAb8/QKg_wzXo1UM/s200/noname-69_2.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290705074313158994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;To view the other paintings in the Strains series and others go to lifelongpress.blogspot.com.

A graduate of the poetry program at Saint Mary's College of California, her work has appeared in Court Green, Five Fingers Review, and The Tiny as well as other journals.  She has written a novel, John Clare, which awaits publication, and is currently working on a novella, Dark Age, about a fifth century book of laws, a list of names, and a divorced writer with too much time on her hands.

She is currently a Co-Publicity Chair for the Berkeley Poetry Review. After college, she looks forward to living in a box while discovering what exactly one can do with a B.A. in English. She enjoys drinking chai lattes, wandering around San Francisco, and pretending to work on her senior thesis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Hass teaches English at the University of California at Berkeley. His most recent book of poems is Time and Materials (Ecco).
