If identity just gets in the way, what do you do?

Can you not have identity? How do you get rid of it?

I can't find anything on the web about how to get rid of it. Then again, maybe it doesn't get in the way. That's just what I heard. It's an invitation to distortion. Or maybe distortion's an invitation to identity. My new platform.

& also I just read that notley interview with conrad. I'm not so keen on the trance and tarot talk--probably not knowing enough about tarot makes me not care. I guess I do feel like writing is a meditative state or trance-like but I don't find talking about it that interesting. It's only good when you're in it. now I've piled up all of notley's books to read again since i have a bad memory and only remember "good" or "bad" or "[shrug]" (which I learned recently is one of the few universal gestures meaning "fuck if i know").

the notley books in my pile:

at night the states

mysteries of small houses

desamere

closer to me and closer ... (the language of heaven)

disobedience

the descent of alette
