Writings by Henry Warwick..............

  
Welcome to my writing page. Here you will find various essays and memoirs, flames and stories that I've written over the past several years.

To get an idea of what I'm about as a person, read Paul Grant's poem about me. It's called SAILCAT. Paul's a great poet, and I hope that someday I might get more of his work published here.

I figure now that blogging is passé, I should get into it. I hope this blog will be of some interest to all.

I've been keeping a blog called The Warwick Press.


Older Blogs.

(Note: that blog is basically dead. Please read Early-Warning, which died in December 2006. )

To read any of my works, just click on its title. If you wish to re-publish them in any form, including email, contact me for permission. I'm generous and don't bite. Very much. Usually.


CreativeSynth Articles

I used to write a column at CreativeSynth called SPARK. Those articles are now available below. I have now named my blog "SPARK" in honour of that column, as to continue in its spirit.

I've re-edited them a bit, making them more worthwhile a read.

The last sections on the Lifecycles of Cultural Commodities was a lecture I gave at the Refrains Conference in Vancouver Canada, in October 2001. I think the points in it still stand, but aren't properly applied. I think that the scope isn't merely a style of music, but music itself as it has come to exist in this age of Mechanical Reproduction.

Permanent Contemporary

I see our present cultural condition evolving into a new condition that I believe has deep and long lasting importance. I call this condition the Permanent Contemporary. I haven't had much of a chance to really flesh the ideas out much, and this document is a bit of a hodge podge thrown together so I can get the ideas out into whatever passes for a noosphere these days. Suffice to say, the condition, if done well, could be a major advancement in human culture. However, given that it is appearing at a time of global hegemony of the corporate state, I have a deep suspicion that it will be used to no porpoerly good end, and will prove to be more temporary than permanent, and a future that never was.
