Swordsmith and wordsmith

Recommended Posts

Hello Gentlemen

I wanted to share collaborative effort i had and have with Myles Mulkey.

It is forgewelded poetry with bladesmithing, the marriage of material and spiritual aspect of our craft.

 

we settled that to some pieces i make, Myles would compose poetry in very old Norse style (which name is impossible to write if you are not Myles)

 

here is waht Myles had written about it on his blog

and here are the poems together with the pieces

Haha I'll keep my tongue and burn my beard further down the road.

 

This is very exciting for me, as I'm not only a fledgling poet, but also a fledgling smith. Just a small part of this community.

 

This is a great chance to help tie two threads of ancient artistry together, and I'm just honored to have been given the opportunity.

Warrior poets if ever there were some B)

It's fascinating how two things totally different could be so complimentary of each other, and yet not be so different at all.

This is entirely correct!

 

Now I am picturing framed prints in nice calligraphy, maybe with images to go along with it all...

 

Petr, I love your new icon!

Extraneously cool B)

“Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.”

That last one is particularly inspiring. Having just re-read Beowulf, this sounds like it could have been penned by the same hand. The feeling and aesthetic behind the words and steel are dead-on.

 

Thanks so much, guys! :)
