'loudly in this empty, wordless place
(though you could not have heard)
I called against the wind
one fierce, defiant word.'

From "Landscape for Stones" by Jean Burden.

@GrantaMag @LucyScholes A wonderful writer, who confronted the end of her life so lucidly and openly. There is such an exhilarating sense of freedom in her work. Thank you @LucyScholes

@AustBookReview's 'Book of the Week' is "On Drugs" by Chris Fleming, a raw and affecting memoir on drug addiction. I was very pleased to review it.

Like these dreamy expressionist paintings by @MertonClivette (1868-1931) who was also a magician, acrobat and writer.

Born #OTD 1893 :

"Razors pain you,
Rivers are damp,
Acids stain you,
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful,
Nooses give,
Gas smells awful.
You might as well live."

Dorothy Parker

[Poets House @poetshouse]

Some men break your heart in two;
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.

Happy birthday, Dorothy Parker!
