Literally just finished this book earlier today. Only flaw is that it's too short. Absolutely loved it and wanted more and more.

Just ordered the new book from Brian Morton. What a great person he is. A teacher and friend to all who read his work.

(I gave a couple of talks at Sarah Lawrence where he teaches and it turned out I was the student.)

Christian Wiman highly recommended Indivisible in an interview I read recently so that's what made me particularly intrigued.

My erstwhile friend @philipchristman.bsky.social made a blasphemous claim in one of his newsletters a few weeks ago; while he is still dead wrong, I have to admit I've started listening to "Hounds of Love" on my evening commutes...

Look what showed up today from @johnlingan.bsky.social: his next book! Out November 11. I’m looking forward to arguing with him about it. He once called me a cockroach (complimentary).

Man these people said I didn’t do yesterday’s Strands and I know I did. Ended my streak at 41. Bout to shed thug tears.

Without saying Space Oddity, fav David Bowie Song?

David Bowie in a grey pink and white striped unitard of sorts with big orange and lime green shoulder pads and collar. red hair and lipstick red background hand on hip. hot.

"Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'"

There's nothing like cooking a fresh fish fillet to teach you just how much of a cookware company's claim of "non-stick" is actually a giant load of horseshit.

For a split second I thought it was the Leonard Michaels novel.

There's an arresting quotation that resurfaces online now and again, usually accompanied by a photograph of a dark- haired woman with an intense gaze: "The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs that a culture is about to fall into barbarism." It's followed by the name of the woman in the picture: the political philosopher Hannah Arendt, who fled the barbarism of Nazi
Germany. Only there's no record of Arendt ever saying that, or anything like it. The bogus quotation is the kind of artifact that flourishes on the internet in bewildering times - plausible-sounding and politically
ominous.
