A very kind friend sent this to me in the post. I read the poem a few days ago and as I do with poetry, I am reading again.

Beautiful.

Christoph Waltz explaining Hegelian dialectics in a food YouTube show (in the context of ceviche) was not in my expectations today, but I’m all in for it

Paul Maitland's picture from 1890, shows the striking effects that can be achieved by using pastel on wet paper, especially in the creation of a velvet shadowy darkness. The Hollywood Arms is a public house that is still standing on the Fulham Road in Chelsea, London.

@SirEvanAmato Have never heard of him. Which isn't saying much on my part.

This man was an amazing thinker.

Criminally underrated — if he’s even heard of

On of our current ancient philosophy PhD students @CamClassics has a YouTube channel of lessons in ancient Greek. Come for the grammar; stay for the dry humour. 'Click and subscribe', as the young people say.

Time for a re-read of this, I think.

I LOVED this gem of a book about a woman deciding to (literally!) slowly devour her dead husband. It’s about a shimmering love and, later, grief that endures through great hardship, and is inspired by the writer’s fave writer, Clarice Lispector. I relished every word. out in June

Best in translation. Best docupoetics. Best landscape. Best multilingual text. Best use of an octopus simile. Best soundtrack. Best dance poem. Best shoe metaphors. Best animal soliloquy. Best innovative chap. Best fretwork. Best lunar action.

I truly cannot wait for you all to read the two Attila's (coming 4/1) from Open Letter. Unlike anything I've read before.

The one by Coll himself is the book that I mentioned the other day, where the translator got a message through a psychic medium about the translation.

Four books sent to me today kindly by publishers. Very different but I am eager to read them all.

@neonpajamas I think she's one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and this is my favourite work by her.

Let’s remember David Lynch, explaining on why he told stories the way he did.
