I write things. Sometimes people print them.

Three new pieces in The Journal of Wordplay including a poetic puzzle I've been working on with my professor on-and-off for a year! Find it on pages 30-34 here (for best results, print out if you can):

@ByFanGao @brecht_dp what is "it"?

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@galyonkin David Sedaris where are you

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@ae_stallings David Sedaris where are you

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@ConRayArt where is ms-paint-sonic

@shigeoreum I mean where else did you think they were going to put the height, it's not like you can bisect someone at the navel like a stage magician and slot in an extra half-foot of torso tube

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@fedafter12am what does that stand for or is it like the s.c.u.m. manifesto where the publisher reframed it as an acronym even though you hadn't intended it that way and then you kill andy warhol

@AndyWarrenStein @weareyourfek why would you pay in cash when you can pay in kind

@Creiz21 @igypham @JoshRaby There are lots of movies-of-ideas. For some reason people seem to give them more leeway. If you thought this 4-minute stretch was impressive as a duration of uninterrupted debate about Big Ideas, My Dinner with Andre has about two uninterrupted hours of it!

@molochofficial Exact same thing happened when I taught DFW

@JMF1958 Something almost postmodern about how loose a "translation" it is! I know some poets who do similar projects, sans the deception, today, under the guise of "radical translation" or "experimental translation"

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@JMF1958 Previously, in one of the much, much earlier stories, in the first Reginald book, Saki gives himself a similar excuse to parody the Rubaiyat by having a character who takes to writing them in-scene, in "Reginald's Rubaiyat."

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@JMF1958 Yes, in the story the vicar's hobby is explicitly compared to the Rubaiyat, and Saki was certainly a fan (it's where his own pen-name derives)! I mentioned Hope because she's lesser-known and because her book did not just take egregious liberties but was a whole-cloth forgery

@jenny_b_3 @TNOQuoProQuid One of my professors' spouses fell into a volcano and so in workshop classmates (including one who was using geology as a recurring metaphor for trauma in her project) were very cautious not to mention volcanoes

@30000MONKIES And if this WERE a real person they wouldn't be, like, a catch (wealthy charming doctor with a private practice or something), this is CLEARLY an image of a man DEEPLY mired in the international black market organ trade and soon to be disappeared by the syndicate that owns him

[Daniel Galef @DanielGalef]

@Chinchillazllla which is the before and which is the after?
