Sometimes, research is a matter of hitting books, digging for truths, visiting places and delving into the guts of a thing.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes it’s a search for the right bits and pieces, themes and moods, ideas and connections.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes, it’s entirely unrelated to the thing you’re researching.<\/p>\n
For instance, Japanese death poems.\u00c2\u00a0 After reading about them in Shogun<\/em>, I decided I needed to know more.\u00c2\u00a0 Might come in handy for a particular Asian-themed project I have bubbling in the deepest gestation pits of my mind.<\/p>\n I’m working on a triptych of Midnight stories, however, having nothing to do with Asia, death poems, or Shogun<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Yet, strangely enough, the idea of poeticizing managed to filter through the original project into this one, and has made itself vital.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, maybe not vital, but important.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, maybe important<\/em> is something of a stretch, but at the very least interesting and useful and fun.<\/p>\n Not death poems, specifically, not for this project, but poetics anyhow.\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t wait for you to read it.<\/p>\n Guess I better get to poeticizing, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes, research is a matter of hitting books, digging for truths, visiting places and delving into the guts of a thing.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes it’s a search […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.darkfluidity.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
