@lowellmickwhite Thank you, Mick

Renee was one of my students years ago. I held her baby. She was kind and talented, a working class mom who put herself through school despite circumstances that would’ve crumpled the pathetic rich boy politicians who sadistically abetted her murder

God damn them all

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@BurialMagazine Thanks, man, that’s kind as hell of you to say

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@donwinslow Thank you so much, Don

Space witches have the best pickup lines

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@yui_antinomy Will scan & send soon!

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@Sean_J_Fitz Nothing quite like it at the time either!

That’s why we gotta chase that Hannah high I guess

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@Sean_J_Fitz You’re on that peak Barry Hannah

Always wondered what brought him to write a story about William S Burroughs (Coots) finding himself in a Rudyard Kipling’s “Mark of the Beast” scenario

@yui_antinomy *lemme know if not and I’ll send you a copy

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@yui_antinomy When those flinty eyes catch a glint of humor it’s magnetic as hell.

Have you read Harry Crews’s essay about Bronson? If not lemme know, it’s wild

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@yui_antinomy Yessssss. Dark Angel’s in the pantheon for sure. Right up there with Lana Wood’s Demon Rage

The dissolve is from Crash! (1976) which totally ruled. Beautifully made. I didn’t know Charles Band was dropping bangers so early.

Vengeful supernatural woman whose eyes glow when she uses her powers might be my favorite movie genre

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@Sean_J_Fitz Reds, the Gentleman, AND a pineapple!?!

@WhatHoARat @ryanhasbadtaste 100% real and for whatever reason the ads were usually for my name brand

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@TrentBWrites If you haven’t pitched the Southern Review of Books, I’d give them a shot!

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@thedadlitpod @JoelNedecky @SmashedEars Almost forgot, I’ve got a story about McCarthy and The Road that one of his pals told me in Santa Fe one time but I’ll save for the show.

Oh yeah, and I gotta remember to talk about Lauren Groff’s Arcadia and Masutsugo Ono’s At the Edge of the Woods 🧐

[Kent Wascom @KentWascom]

@thedadlitpod @JoelNedecky @SmashedEars Hell yeah. It didn’t land like this in my 20s, but now I think the last line of the book says a whole lot about parenthood and childhood, the things that can’t be put back or experienced again.
