YEARNING JOCK (writing @kenyonreview @nimrodjournal @lareview @ruminatemag etc)

[Peter🌲Brannen @PeterBrannen1]

RIP to Annie Dillard, whose work frequently left me unable to speak sensibly for several minutes after reading it. This essay, This Is The Life, was my entry point to her work

my top 2 most played songs of the year are going to be the 16 minute live version of bruce springsteen's tenth avenue freeze out and a piano version of champs-elysse that's meant for babies

I dreamt that Elena Ferrante’s identity was revealed to be a Siberian woman who had never even been to Italy, who wrote entirely through research conducted at her local library

imo one of the worst things you can do for your art as a woman is over identify with victimhood (even in the face of misogyny etc. you should probably never believe in your total innocence or even see it as aspirational. So much interesting stuff comes from facing our shadow rly
