Here are some of my poems: https://t.co/uCaX9cjE9s

@MarkdeSilva1 Perfect record. Not a bad song on it. It’s ridiculous when even you’re not an airplane is a melody most bands would kill for and it’s a 30 second song like field day for the Sundays or Neil on after the gold rush

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@BorgesCarpenti @cwik_greg Yeah but the consul gets thrown to the dogs while “Ishmael” is relegated to the unceasing limbo of forever retelling -and never quite being able to get there (Zeno’s arrow) -the events of Moby Dick. Pick your poison—.

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@cwik_greg Which books? I didn’t like never let me go. But it seems to me he’s “overrated” for that and not many read his other works..which at least three seem to me on the level as the good soldier.

@BorgesCarpenti @cwik_greg Melville is all over Lunar Caustic (I think a lot of Moby Dick/ Billy Budd..Dr. named Claggart)…and later Kraznahorkai (I think in Manhattan Project but not sure) explicitly ties them together….that Lowry left Bellevue and went to Melville’s house/ place where he clerked.

@lady_valor_07 Lou Reed.

@jhendersonYT Sound fun! I’ll join you. Have you read them all before?

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@MarkdeSilva1 Sweet Jane! (heavenly widened roses [or whatever the fuck he says] version.

@NewDirections @avecsesdoigts I was wondering if you guys are sending out ARCS for reviews? I was thinking of writing an article on the work of Enard that has so far been translated into English; it’s for a small forum/ website.

@IneluctableQuak I’m going with Nazi literature in the Americas. Distant Star. 2666/ savage Coming to him late I really think the Spirit of Science Fiction should be canon too (beyond the already ‘accepted’)

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@batcountry1980 I would love an alternative universe with Cale producing Talking Heads. Eno/ Cale/ Young had the best 70s imo…side 2 of before and after is holy, man. What’s favorite Eno vocal album…I think I’ve had each one as my favorite at different points…but taking tiger, I think.

@dlseuss @NifMuhammad That’s awesome and well-deserved!

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@sloopie72 O sorry, I reread and it looks like you’re taking Homer. Fun discussions

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@sloopie72 Yes! I applied for the life of the mind seminar (I threw out a couple of days that worked) and the selected films of Rohmer. Maybe we will be in the same seminar…

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@sloopie72 Cool. Thanks for replying. And I hope you enjoy the seminar!

@philipspilsbury @oasis I’m thinking 400 for up front. Something stupid….o well

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@neonpajamas Harry Mathews…esp. the first 3 books. All of the above and also: “here it is, a bunch of weird shit, have fun!” Pokes holes in many readers’ tendency to try to solve everything.

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@PhillyMovieNerd The man who knew too little with bill murray. Maybe just a movie I wish more people would see or give another chance to as opposed to obscure. O well

[Steven Rineer @therealStevenRi]

@_ryanruby_ I was JUST rambling about this and how I was late to Libra because I thought it was too perfect for Delillo to write about. Now it may be my favorite of his (mao II, White Noise, The Names, blah) and Ruby his best character.

@formal_feeling Laura Riding. Cendrars (quit for the most part, I think). Riding renounced completely.
