Beautiful new book by Ron Padgett! Exciting to see him in the NYRB series. I devoured the book minutes after I picked it up at the local indie on Saturday, wrote a poem about the experience of reading it, sent the poem to Ron, and he said it was "lovely." A great exchange with a great American!

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation.
His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation.
I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts.
