REBELITERATURE PODCAST

Analysis of a presentation given by Daljit Nagra in 2017 on the topic of his first collection; 'Look We Have Coming to Dover'. Given that my last podcast on Nagra's poetry was from this first book I thought to provide commentary on the presentation, to further give context to my initial comments on the poem 'Digging'.

In this podcast I investigate an early poem by the Faber poet Daljit Nagra, compare it with the poem by Seamus Heaney it was inspired by,, and ruminate on issues of multiculturalism in 21st Century poetry.

Tying up some loose ends from previous podcasts, but also this is a podcast on coming to terms with what mid-century literature in Britain was, in all its ragged subversions. Doris Lessing, Kenneth Tynan, John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, Lindsay Anderson, Bill Hopkins, Wilson himself. I will follow this up with some more research on the background to the 'Declaration' anthology

Commentary on my last year of watching Civic Nationalism finally implode as a movement regarding the immigration problem. This recording will serve as a summary of my year watching content from Nick Fuentes, Academic Agent, Candace Owens, The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters and Steve Laws' 'Remigration Now' debate. The concerns? How indigenous nationalism gets co-opted into mainstream deba...

In which I follow up on some threads from the previous podcast. I focus on Bill Hopkins' mention of 'The Crusade for World Government', my research possibly connecting it to the Fabians and The London School of Economics, as well as looking at other writers from the 'Declaration' anthology of 1957, most notably Colin Wilson's then-credo; 'Beyond the Outsider'.

Reading of Bill Hopkins' rare article from 1957, in which he expounds his ideas regarding the inherent power of Western literature in contrast to the dearth of valuable literary content at mid-century. His critique involved an almost total dismissal of all modern literature of the twentieth century (as my own feelings concur with that theme as the twentieth century moves into the twenty first...

A backward glance at the youtube video entitled Calasso's Rig Veda with a very fresh conspiratorial take on Julian Jaynes' theory re; Homer's 'Iliad'. This leads on to some further speculation about the evolution of language, and revised judgemants on the works of D.H. Lawrence and James Joyce through Wyndham Lewis' "Hitler".

Those familiar with my youtube and rumble channels (and even going back to The Fiend beginning in 2010) will know my interest in David Icke's material. Here I attempt to critique some of the problems I have with David Icke's work in detail. The conspiracy researcher (particularly of the boomer and great generations) will have very little knowledge of the Western nationalist movements that...

Another revisionist take on my views regarding certain American poets promoted in the early entries of The Fiend magazine via a piece on American poetry by Philip Lamantia from his book of prose; 'Preserving Fire' (criticising from the the left, while I would criticise from the right). Who is saved from this strange melange of mid-century poets? Very few, unfortunately.

Jack Gilbert was one of the most celebrated poets of late 20th Century America. How many know that he co-wrote erotic books? Or, indeed, books that included bestiality, incest and pedophilia? This time I delve into that dark side, and suggest that there is something very disturbing about the person responsible for these writings. Links to the material I used for this presentation are below. The bo...

Final sections from 'The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion' with commentary, and a certain amount of summing up. Also, a reading from a few sections of Ezra Pound's 'Hugh Selwyn Mauberley' (sans the Greek!) for the atmosphere of 1920.

Continuing on with a reading and commentary from the middle of this short book, published in 1920. One more video will be added to finish off the series.

Further reading of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (Part Two). This is a backdated video filmed toward the end of 2020. Parts three and four to follow. Caveat Lector! Watching this video back (from a distance of 5 years) you need to know that my initial thoughts on The Protocols’ ramifications for Hitler’s thought is based, itself, on either a faulty translation of Mein Kampf, or a fau...

A reading of the 1920 English translation of the text (the original, in Russian, was published in 1905). This is a backdated recording from the end of 2020. I'm leaving my overall summation for the fourth video in this series (due shortly). Meanwhile you can access the pdf file of the text I'm reading here: https://archive.org/details/bib_fict_4103104/mode/2up?view=theater paypalme/aindriu...

Discussion of the romantic poet John Keats's dictum in a letter of 1817 regarding what makes the best poetry, with all kinds of forays into this process's relationship to philosophy, mysticism, 'peak experience', meditation, politics, history and other modern movements in literature. Also, a related statement very much in line with the notion of negative capability would be; "I...

Companion video to my 'East and West' video regarding Confucius, Confucianism and filial piety. My theory being that the modern Asian inheritance of Confucius is out of balance with nature, and can learn from the west in this way (and conversely we can be more respecting of our elders while retaining our own generational worries and opinions, and ability to vocalise them without reprisal)....

A more personal broad-brush video on my time spent living and travelling in Asia, firstly with a visit to India, then some reflections on life in Japan at the turn of the century (1999 - 2001). After two years in London, I then went back to Asia, taking a teaching job in South Korea - and basing myself there - for the following decade and beyond (2003 - 2016). The name of the Korean music I was pa...

First full tarot reading on camera. A little bit of info on how I approach the cards, usually beginning with The Trinity... and then the reading proper, including a bunch of 'clarifying cards' beginning from that pull of three I made a couple of days ago. I come to no conclusions about this object, itself; could it be malevolent (a drone, even?) Notice the mistake in the numerology though....

Commentary on Roberto Calasso's 'Ardor' (2014) beginning with some thoughts on Aldous Huxley's use of the idea of 'soma' in Brave New World through to his last novel 'Island', together with more of my usual characteristic speculations on mythology, history, metaphysics and the nature of language. Calasso's book: https://www.bookdepository.com/Ardor-... Terence M...

Survey of Pound's speeches from Rome 1941-43, as they are presented to us in transcript form via 'Ezra Pound Speaking', edited by Leonard Doob, 1978. The speeches raise a whole number of issues. What is the problem? Money lending and its role in warfare and cultural degradation, past and present. Who creates the problem? 'Rich Jewish bankers', ostensibly, as Pound sees it (and...

Delving into ancient bardism with this controversial text from the 18th century; 'The Barddas of Iolo Morganwg'. A talk on the bardic line, and the bards and druids of Britain, going back to ancient times. Thoughts on a 'homeland shamanism/bardism' of Britain, of which - in the modern world - our outcome is literature. Questions of text and memorisation, deism, pantheism, panenthei...

Companion to the 'Politics, Information, Emancipation' talk, where I go deeper into certain writers and researchers in internet conspiracy circa 2010 - 2020, plus earlier hints and approaches to life that may have been conspiracy-leaning. The Kennedy Assassination, 911, the London Bombings of 2005, Alex Jones, David Icke, Hunter S. Thompson, Ted Gunderson, Johnny Ghosh, Bohemian Grove, Jos...

Given that this website's page for audio recording of poetry was mentioned in previous videos I thought I'd give you a quick personal tour of the poets interesting to me, and make mention of other poetical audio in the U.K. The famous Charles Olson reading I was referring to was the 'Berkeley 1965' and can be found at Olson's author page. Here's the authors page I'm ref...

Survey of my favourite (sometimes under-appreciated) poets from the last century. Readings from Francis Thompson, Robert Graves, Dylan Thomas, George Barker, Sidney Keyes, David Gascoyne, Seamus Heaney and Kathleen Raine. This is as much as I could pack into a video of this size... obviously the only Irish poet here is Seamus Heaney, so I will hopefully remedy this with something more focussed on...
