First circle of Divine Comedy obsession is perusing 80 different English translations hoping to find the perfect one. Second circle is realizing there is no perfect translation and compiling your own from bits of all the existing ones. Third circle is teaching yourself Italian.

Bowled over by the courage & humility of the Afghan Refugee women’s cricket team. Fielding questions in the Long Room at Lords today it’s clear these brave young women are not survivors but game changers. #WomenInSport #MelJones

Phil Cleary is a VFA legend but far more importantly a tireless campaigner on male violence against women since the murder of his sister Vicki in 1987. Nearly 40 years on, the stats remain horrific & toxic masculinity still a scourge. Vicki Cleary Day is significant. Support it.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

absolutely, I believe this. I have never been able to "write"--at least a first draft-- any other way than by hand.

our handwriting is unique to us as our fingerprints. it makes sense that the brain & the hand are closely coordinated. handwriting can vary & be loose & formative--not fixed like print; it embodies plasticity, change. even an unintelligent scrawl has meaning.

print is uniform, impersonal. as Samuel Beckett said: "It all came together between the hand and the page."
