From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who the fuck was Auden?

"Really those statues are not

the fragments. You yourself are the relic;

they haunt you with a strange virginity

at home, at the office, at receptions for the celebrated,

in the unconfessed terror of sleep;

they speak of things you wish didn't exist

or would happen years after your death,'

and that's difficult because..."''

I've been using Wikipedia forever, so I figured 'Why not edit articles that I hate?'

I am a part-time librarian who spends half the year studying Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania and the rest of the year rotting, very slowly in India. I hope to someday become a process theologian who lives all alone on the Isles of Aran preaching in Irish Gaelic to an indifferent audience.

[edit] Areas of interest

I've just gotten started but plan to work mostly in the following areas.

1) Vedic ritual especially the Agnistoma, Ashvamedha, Purushamedha etc

2) Indian Politics

3) Burkina Faso and African health issues

4) Critical theory and Queer studies

5) Hindu and Buddhist literature

6) Tibetan dieties

7) British politics in general and the Peerage in particular, with a focus on Lord Bishops and hereditary peers created in this century

8) Persian literature and Sufi music

9) The Anglican Church

10) Wystan Hugh Auden and 20th century English literature

I've probably bitten off way more than I can chew but if you know something in any of these areas perhaps we can work together.
