Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Inokentii Federovich Annensky 1855-1909 His first poetry was published in 1905 but he was told he would lose his job if he published a book so he used the pseudonym “Nobody”. In many ways it was a reference to how he felt about himself as an artist, but it is also a reference to Homer and courageous guile, for Odysseus used the name Nobody to face the Cyclops Polyphemus. His first book was called Quiet Song and the critics ignored it. It was his last book, published posthumouly that was acclaimed as a work that closed the old and opened a new world of poetry. Nobody was suddenly somebody.
