Danny Hayward translates Peter Weiss's 'The Convalescent', an incredible journal entry that has more than a passing resemblance to some of the 'Letters...' of Sean Bonney

'There is no God and we are his prophets' Cormac McCarthy, 2006

"Der er ingen Gud, og mennesker er hans profet!" J.P. Jacobsen, 1880

I started a left wing media outlet, received no money for a decade, and am paid the same as the most recent hire (really). My dad thinks I’m insane.

One of more interesting phenomena of last 15 years is calling people grifters rather than saying ‘you’re wrong’ or ‘I disagree’.

Does any of this mean I think I know for sure that James Schneider isn't a spy? No. This is why I've only ever discussed political theory and strategy with him, and never mention the locations of any of the armed guerrilla groups I'm in touch with. Suggest you do the same (7/7).

[M Traverse @traverse_matt]

@jemgilbert That may be so Jeremy, but if you convert the S into a 5 then 'acid communism' contains both the CIA and MI5... Nah, seriously, totally agree with your original post and this thread.

@bat020 In Denmark there's Rudolf Broby-Johansen, who wrote probably the single most influential work of radical modernist poetry, 'Blod' in 1922, then gave up literature entirely to write only art criticism, in a style that anticipates John Berger... https://t.co/ja9mWqFFrn

Pre-Gaza Genocide, pre-Ukraine war, pre-COVID, I wrote a series of poems that followed the black romantic comedy of Shakespeare's Sonnets with the harangued, humdrum narrative arc of my own life. Thanks to Elizabeth Ellen for featuring a set for Hobart!
