He visits Susie in her sleep regularly, speaks to her, comforts her, but he may not be there." I hear him talk to me, parent me, guide me, though he may not be there. He addressed the tragic death of his son Arthur in 2015, saying, "I feel the presence of my son, all around, but he may not be there. ![]() In 2018, Cave wrote an open letter in response to a question about grief from someone named Cynthia. One of those is what originally pulled me into his murky world full of sex, saints and sacrifices. Reading the exhibition's dimly lit description, like the start of a dark labyrinth, I spot a mention of The Red Hand Files, an online forum where Cave directly answers fan questions. That's how I found myself at Stranger Than Kindness, an exhibition about the artist that he co-created, which made its North American debut at L'Astral in Montreal on April 8. But it was something else entirely that drew me to his work for the first time: his meditations on grief. Nick Cave has inspired fervent devotion from fans of his experimental art rock, novels and poetry, movie soundtracks and screenplays, and so much more art during his nearly 50-year career. ![]() Nick Cave sits at his desk in the Stranger Than Kindness exhibit in Montreal. ![]()

![]() ![]() This became the archetypal - and literal - cliff-hanger of Victorian prose. In the novel, Hardy chose to leave one of his protagonists, Knight, literally hanging off a cliff staring into the stony eyes of a trilobite embedded in the rock that has been dead for millions of years. The term cliffhanger is considered to have originated with Thomas Hardy's serial novel A Pair of Blue Eyes in 1873. Hardy's poetry, first published in his 50s, has come to be as well regarded as his novels, especially after The Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-fictional land of Wessex, delineates characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. He regarded himself primarily as a poet and composed novels mainly for financial gain. Thomas Hardy, OM, was an English author of the naturalist movement, although in several poems he displays elements of the previous romantic and enlightenment periods of literature, such as his fascination with the supernatural. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve been reading a lot of thrillers recently and often find myself disappointed when they try to make an impact by being extra shocking or disturbing, but that don’t succeed in doing so because they forget about development and consistency. What would it take to make you intervene? Someone knows where Anna is, and they’re not telling. The next day, she wakes up to the news that one of the girls has disappeared. But just as she’s decided to call for help, something stops her. At first, she thinks nothing of it, until she realises that they are fresh out of prison and her maternal instinct is put on high alert. ![]() Teresa Driscoll‘s 2017 thriller, I Am Watching You, follows Ella Longfield, a hard-working mother who overhears two attractive young men flirting with teenage girls on a train. “Because once you become a parent, you learn that love can involve more fear than you had ever imagined, and you never quite look on the world in the same way again.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What! No further? What? It searches everywhere in the wide world for the rest of the grass, which is right under its nose. What! No further? Its back pair of nubby feet clasps the grass stem its front three pairs of nubs rear back and flail in the air. The wretched inchworm hangs from the side of a grassblade and throws its head around from side to side, seeming to wail. Every inchworm I have seen was stuck in long grasses. I often see an inchworm: it is a skinny bright green thing, pale and thin as a vein, an inch long, and apparently totally unfit for life in this world. Inchworms are the caterpillar larvae of several moths or butterflies. "Few sights are so absurd as that of an inchworm leading its dimwit life. Another great example comes from Annie Dillard in The Writing Life again, in jest. Of course Dahl would not imagine the goat actually thought such things, but the example shows our limitation in understanding animals in that we attribute to them our own thoughts and feelings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Introduction to the major image strands.(This is my primary emphasis when I teach the play.)
