Dear friends. My new book in which I consider lost books, burned libraries, Goethe, the lives and deaths of Presocratic philosophers, Paris, statues of Niobe, patterns in history, war, displacement, the evils of ambition, and Pachynian tuna is out in the world next month.

[C.P. Cavafy @CCavafy]

“Memory, hold on to what they were.”

‘The world doesn’t crumble apart. / The general, and rewarding, illusion / Prevents it…’ Margaret Avison, Always Now: The Collected Poems (2003).
