from:	Stalks
date:	30th August 2006
Message:	I just found this website today. While enthusiastically reading page after page, I haven't even checked to see if it's still updated. I figured, whether it was or not, I still feel like writing this, so hence, I am. The thing that first caught my attention the most was the "About" page, especially the "some biographical details" part, as I can relate to nearly everything written there. Then what caught my attention was obviously the poetry. I've been writing random ideas and the like down for years, and they always came out with a similar style, mostly unintentionally. The reason for this that I came up with was that every living being from birth creates a library of archetypes, metaphors, logos, etcetera in their brain to explain/relate to/filter in and out information from the world, and the way I filtered out my written thoughts was the reason for my 'poetry' coming out a certain way. It's what speaks to me, and the writings on this page speak to me as well.

from:	PABLO in Madrid
date:	16th August 2006
Message:	I don't read much poetry in English at all - besides yourself and some Whitman. I class your work with his and with that of the great Lorca.

from:	margie cronin
date:	10th August 2006
Message:	i wanted to get in touch with you because, apart from the wonderful website, your poetryand your marvellously commendable religion, i agree with your assessment ofmost modern poetry written in english (at least coming from an 'anglo' background). though speaking only english myself i feel as though i don't fit with the poetry of this language.

date:	3rd May 2006
Message:	Anthony, this is awesome...your words, when read aloud, take on the mantle of a demented Shakespearean actor. Encore!

from:	Bill Stewart
date:	18th April 2006
Message:	We are a mean, violent species, we humans, aren't we. Very well put-together and potent verse, Anthony. Sombre, but rings with truth.

from:	Phillippa
date:	31st March 2006
Message:	Dear Anthony I have just been lounging about in your site, flipping idly through your intense rants and the vibrant selection of poetry. I have thoroughly enjoyed the crisp wit, the refreshing heat of the polemic and the elegant and surprising décor. I will bring some friends along next time. Phillippa Yaa de Villiers Johannesburg

from:	a poet in South Australia
date:	17th March 2006
Message:	Dear Zoti Ujk, Monsieur Loup-Garoup, Mr Weir: I am writing to you from South Australia. I have spent a few hours today exploring your Dissident Editions website. I am always truly delighted when I come across something so unique, with such a seemingly eclectic mix of topics so carefully woven together. I am so appreciative of the English translations you have provided of Albanian writers. I don't speak a word of Albanian, and I'm grateful to have had the door of this language opened. I am a singer and poet/writer, and have laboured through many tasks of translation of poetry from German, Italian, French and Spanish into English. Making sense of the literal word but avoiding turning it into heap of rancid compost can be desperately hard work. It doesn't help so much that my linguistic skills are very poor! But I am always impressed by translation which seems to capture something like the essence of a piece.

from:	Observing Alien
date:	1st March 2006
Message:	I just wanted to write to say how affected I was by your website. I was looking around for information on Irish ruins and such (in preparation for a trip there this summer) when I came upon it. Curious, I clicked to the page on 'The Philadelphic Celts'. The photos of the two gorgeous 'warriors' kissing and embracing took me a little by surprise, but they're simply beautiful, and I was unexpectedly aroused (being a heterosexual woman, I never expected to be so taken by a photo of men kissing!). I can't rightly explain it, but these two photos have given me a fresh appreciation for the beauty and allure of my stout and furry husband, and I thank you for posting them on your website. I have since taken the time to read much of your writings, and peruse your photos and art, and I am glad to have found your site. I feel that my mind has been opened in a way I least expected and I thank you for that. I will return. I wish you peace. Sincerely, O.A.

from:	Nicola
date:	31st December 2005
Message:	Dear Weirwolf, Thank you for an amazing site which I have enjoyed looking at for days. I just thought I would say Hello from Camden, London, and tell you that I found your site extremely interesting - especially the gorgeous Kissing 'Bears' and fascinating poetry, not to mention your beautiful bearded face! - BeardLover

from:	my_mariah_2000
date:	15th December 2005
Message:	I recently came across your website, and have enjoyed it immensely. Well... until Oscar was viciously murdered. I haven't been able to read further since I read that last night. However, I am compelled to write to you. I don't know why. I seem unable to stop myself . Many (so-called) normal people would peruse your website and be instantly struck by the differences between themselves and you. I, on the other hand, could not stop finding similarities, right down to having one of my beloved friends disappear in July as fast as Oscar did. If that is not disturbing enough for you, I will add that on the surface I might appear to be the stereotypical American female to those who don't look too closely. I am female just not the stereotype. It would perhaps be easier for me to point out the ways in which we are different than to list all the similarities. But, I must say that it was a delight to find there is another person who recognizes the true sensuality of hair and beards. If you are interested in knowing more about me, ask. Otherwise, I won't bore you further on this topic. My excuse for writing is to ask for a copy of your book on your mother's notes. I was quite dejected when it ended on your website. However, I do not want it sent at this time as I most likely will want some of your other books, when I am able to read further on the website. I will, of course, pay postage and any fees you request. I also would like to know if you are actively updating your website. I am unable to tell if this is still a current project. Let me be perfectly blunt. You haven't committed suicide, have you? That would make me sad. I found your website by doing a search to see if there were any new writings, in English, about my friend Boris Grebenshikov. I was pleased to see "The Snake" on your site. As I am sure you already know it is a song. I can send you a link if you would like to download it. You might also want to check out some of the new songs Boris wrote this summer. "The Head of Alfred Garcia" is a favorite of mine. Could you please illuminate me on the "BG Poetry Group" ? I am not familiar with it or with Frederik Wolff and would like to know more to tell Boris. I will send him link to your site, which I believe he will find quite interesting. He has currently been on tour in Siberia but will be home tomorrow or so as he has the traditional Christmas concert in St. Petersburg on the 16th. Hmmm, how to close......maybe truthfully...... with I don't really expect a reply to this letter. Better, yet I will close with this... "Suicide is painless. It brings on many changes. And I can take or leave it as I please."

From:	Alexander Yaniushkin, Russia
Date:	Wed Apr 6, 2005
Message:	It's a great poetry, which penetrates  deeply into your mind and shaked it  thoroughly like electroshock. It gives  your perception of the pain, of the  global pain of other people, the whole  humankind, and the whole universe. But  in the same time it somehow makes you  stronger and ... wiser.
From:	Patrick Mooney
Date:	Tue Apr 5, 2005
Message:	I spent nearly an hour just looking  and reading about your photo art, men  with beards kissing, and the  anthropological sites you covered from  sweat lodges, healing, monoliths,  and the phallus in Christian art that  is not widely covered in our art  history classes!  It was a delight to run across some  content and an engaged mind.  I have since returned and done quite a  bit of reading of  your Zen poetry, a surprise because I  have been studying Vajrayana  Buddhism for the last year, and I truly  enjoyed your writing and clairity  of thought. I have put you site on my  Favorites list and will be  returning to explore your very rich and  rewarding site.

Message:	What an absolutely fantastic site! I  have been looking at all the sections  (originally found it when looking for  material on hogback tombstones) and  can't get over how much stuff there is.  The photos are wonderful, and I am  amazed that this is all the work of one  person. It certainly makes we want to  revisit Ireland and get round some of  the many places I haven't managed to  visit yet.    I live on the Isle of Bute which has  lots of neolithic and Bronze Age  archaeology as well as Iron Age sites  with possibly Irish connections and  Early Christian foundations with  definite Irish connections. We think we  have great monuments but yours are  better yet.    Sue Hothersall

Message:	I wish to Thank Tim of Washington State, USA for including some inportant things I failed to mention in my comment about the Sweat Lodge (Inipi). It does represent the womb of Earth Mother and a rebirth of spirit and body. It is called a minideath by some. A place to sacrafice a little for all that we receive. A small death of the old to a spiritual newness and connection with all things in Creation. There were and are Sweat Lodges made of stone, a sapling frame covered traditionally with hides, with blankets and/or tarps. Te tradtions vary from Native Nation to Native Nation but it all means the same for cleansing and spiritual awareness and connections with the good spirits. Thanks again Tim! Safe Journeys and Peace with them everyone. David Weaver Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania. US

Message:	First--congrats on a truly awesome  website. And it took a few minutes  before I realized your delightful  butterflies were following my mouse!!!    I would like to use the image of the  Leganny portal tomb in my book to be  published commercially this year (I  hope). The book, Beyond the Bridge,  deals with early settlers in Ireland---  how they came, how they survived the  floods at the end of the last great ice  age, how (muc later) they built passage  tombs & chiseled the first accurate  calendars in stone at Knowth.    The referenced image would fit in the  chapter which covers various types of  tombs in Ireland.    Thank you in advance for your kind  consideration. I will reference your  site and caption the photo as you wish.    Best regards,  Marian O'Grady

Message:	Dear Anthony!  I heard about your website from your friend Zana  Banci. I have to tell you that this is an  extraordinary work. To tell you the truth I get a  bit confused going through all of them, but still  that doesn't leave me behind on congratulating  you for this wonderful time you have spent to  come up with such beautiful poems and research.  I will like to write to you as a writer myself a  little poem that i translated. Please don't  laugh, because I know it's very poor, but it's  the best i can do for now.      There, far away in the valley  where the first light of the sun  caresses the grass  I want to lye my body  to close my eyes  peacefully die.  There, on the high mountain  covered with snow  virgin, very white  I want my breath to let go  from my chest  to go its way  There, on the straight field  where the first flowers have sprung  the first spring has brought  I want to have wings  to fly, to go  and not come back  There, over the sea of midnight  where the light of the moon  loves my image  I want to calm my soul  when the baby waves  caress my heart.    Thank you again. And please keep up the good work.  Respectfully, Ana-Maria!

Message:	Anthony,     In 1954 Allen Ginsberg wrote a   beautiful poem entitled "On Burroughs   Work". You will no doubt be familiar   with these frank and passionate   sentences...     ?The method must be purest meat,   and no symbolic dressing,   actual visions & actual prisons   as seen then and now?   A naked lunch is natural to us,   we eat reality sandwiches,   But allegories are so much lettuce,   Don?t hide the madness.?     Much of what I read on this website   resounds with a similar sense of   frankness and passion. For this, I   must admit to being quite envious. Your   endeavour is what I sometimes merely   dream of. In particular, your Maxims   resonate with my own thoughts on many   points (differing on others).     Thank you for your autobiographical   notes as they convinced me that, as  Nietzsche puts it:   ?It makes all the difference whether a   thinker stands in a personal   relationship to his problems, so that   he possesses in them his destiny, his   necessity and also his greatest   happiness."

Message:	In the past year I've been intro. to  Celtic culture/mythology & Irish  History on the internet, but your site  is the first to mometarily stun and  challenge me-- sweathouses in Ireland,  used for what purposes? Other sites are  redundant w.historical & literary facts-  -yours conveys something of a deeper  nature. Thanks  And,please, 1 question: how do you  speculate the dwellings of commoners  in the West of Ireland in the 8th  century were constructed? ( Were there  forests at that time? Did they build  with trees, or stone or wattle & daub?  Were they circular & dome shaped, or  rectagular huts. ) Thanks again  E. Reilly e-mail: Ressler1ATaol.com

Message:	Dear Anthony,  I will be leading two groups of  women to Ireland in May and  September "04 for the focus of  deepening our feminine selves in the  landscape and with Irish women. I  will use your writings and photos of  sexuality-in-the-stones to partially  guide our way. Thank you so very  much for your insights and wisdom.  Frederica (once searching for  images of holy wells which you aided  me in).

Message:	I have only seen "Satan in the Groin"  and the "Spared Stones" so far but I  am greatly impressed by both sites, by  their realization and by the  dedication and entusiasm - dare I  say "obsession"? - which has gone into  making them. Congratulations, and  please continue the passion....

Message:	Have just been looking at your excellent  pages on megalithic sites...I totally  agree with your comments regarding what  you call the "Disneyfication" of  Newgrange. Now I've discovered all of  the links to your other pages on so many  diverse subjects. There's enough reading  material here to keep me interested for  ages! This has to be one of the most  unusual and well-presented sites I've  seen so far. Keep up the great work!

Message:	I was intrigued by your mentioning of  the Vlachs in your outline of Albanian  history (www.beyond-the-  pale.co.uk/diogenes.htm#paulinism)   There are currently several excellent  webpages on them such as:  http://www.remen.gr (in Greek)  and http://www.vlachophiles.net (in  English)    Of your pages the most I liked the  essay on Paulinism. Quite a courageous  view you have and I can't say I am not  tempted to really share your radical  perspectives on Christianity...though  when I think of Bulgakov and his  'Master and Marguerita' I'd rather  stick to the invented cult figure of  Jesus.    I'll return to your site as often as  possible - because it's really  challenging stuff...

Message:	Regarding Mima Kujakova's "Confession  of Ignorance," (CONFESSION FROM  BELGRADE page) its far reaching  ideological impact cannot be  overestimated. I have used her poem  to raise an issue among some Buddhists  to accept Nihilistic doctrine which has  been thinly veiled, or reject it  outright.

Message:	Dear Anthony Weir,  I was deeply moved by the breadth,  compassion of your poerty but most of  all by the inhate sadness that you  shared.    I must confess to probably belonging to  a `group/label' of the tribe of  humanity for whom your impatience might  be the least hostile epithet, but I may  have totallly misjudged you- Im an  academic who crosses research  boundaries, many of which you would  welcome, e.g. highlighting the early  disturbing evidence of humankinds  poisoning of the planet is now  poisoning ourselves seen in changes in  incidence and mortality of the cancers,  neurological diseases and haemolytic  disorders- but I also have the  affrontary to work in the `mental  health field' - pro bono I should  hasten to add and share with Karl  Jaspers the realisation that "illness I  can treat but to life, I can only  appeal".    My final affrontary, apart from  sincerest admiration and  congratulations on your remarkable work  is to offer, not my evidence based  texts, nor even my first novel King  David:War & Ecstasy, but share for YOU  a poem I wrote for my daughter as we  all share the same Time & Space.    Time & Space and Anthony Weir.    They say light travels 186,390 miles  per second.  In a minuet 11,183,409 miles,  in a year 5,878,000,000,000 miles.  To the best of Human knowledge if we  travel 30 Light years,  Up, Down, Left and Right, East and West  There is No Other LIFE!  Therefore, How Rare,  Unique,  Wonderful,  Marvellous  YOU really are.  Time and Space Transforms our Infinite  Insignificance  into Anthony Weir being Infinitely  Significant.  So Value Yourself and Marvel at Others,  Than with Emanuel Kant be awed by,  "dir bestirnte Himmel uber mir  und dass Moralische gesetz in mir".    Post Scriptum  An antodote to the above  numerical/empirical hundred words is  the Benidiction  which comes from Knowing that every  second, minuet , day of every year  Soneone in Our world is listening to  Mozart    [Colin Pritchard 1998]    Regards      Colin Pritchard

Message:	I came across your website, especially  the “400 revolutionary Maxims” and  wanted to know if they are all credited  to Swami Vrhka Baba?    Additionally, I am greatly interested  in your various poems and thoughts on  suicide. I am a former suicide victim  who was diagnosed with severe manic-  depression several years ago. As part  of my final thesis documentation, I  want to include some of the  consequences of this disease both in a  visual and written form. Your words  stuck a deep chord in my soul and I  feel that at last I found someone who  is able to voice what I have  experienced in a way that I have never  been able to do so. Thus said I would  also like to use some of your poems and  thoughts in my multi-media sculptures.        Thank you in advance for your  considerations on my requests as well  as putting together an enlightened and  enlightening repository of images and  words.    Sincerely,    Mark Mueller  Sculptures By Mueller  www.sculpturesbymueller.com
