"It's about words, and words are all I have…"

a short talk on: frank stanford & aprill atkins cameron & william faulkner

Frankie as he was known  was a southern swamprat

of a poet  he made up words like his hero Billy Faulkner

who taught me the phrase  mammalian ludicrosities

in  As I Lay Dying  mine + Frankie’s favourite  where

Dewey Dell + Vardoman  wait for Addie Bundren to die

Vardoman confuses his mom with the fish he butchered

for dinner   My mother is a fish !   Frankie shot himself

3x in the heart at 29  he lay dying for seconds  +his eyes

turned from brown to green    Frankie is a Gar !

 

Winter 2026   …sleeping with the fishes…RIP Frankie & Billy..🐡🐡
