in still, a poem
The first visit, years gone, hit with a wallop of words.
I arrived in some kind of heart's home.
Now, despite synchrony, stars won't align.

On 9th December 1854, the Poet Laureate, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, published his poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade", after reading a report in The Times on 13th November which described "some hideous blunder". In the poet's mind, this became the line "Someone had blundered". Read all about it here:

I saw it being compared to A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing by Eimear McBride and but I think McBride is a superior writer and that that is a far better book.
Finished reading this. I didn’t like it. I thought it was brilliantly written and clever but it didn’t move the deepest recesses of my soul which is what I was hoping for. What I expect the best of books to do.

1. Some manuscripts have real character.
They are often not the smartest, shiniest manuscripts, but rather the ones that have seen things. The manuscripts that have really been used (and abused). Today I spent the day with a very charismatic manuscript at the NLS, Edinburgh...🧵
