Brilliant

Just begun.

I wrote thoughts at IG

A true master of the lucid, culmination and beautiful, fox-like sentence of shadow

I love this book

@cbeditions.bsky.social Invisible Dogs 🐕

@usrofc.bsky.social nominee

Read it!

In the realm of hirsute and warm nations

Genius

After finishing Dr Jake Swan’s @JakeSwan Hilarious novel Grantreprenrur (@galleonbooks ), then most afternoon reading Pizarnik poems, tonight I return to Ernaux

two of Ernaux short novels as the snow continues to devour Toronto

I hunger to read an amour fou

This weekend’s poetry reading

Having finished Pizarnik final book in London, I return to her words again

She ravishes

Read her

as important and brilliant as poetry gets and survives

In Praise of the short Novel

Last night, I read in a sitting Lee Thompson oneiric & beautiful first book, 75 pages

In an era of maximalism,I wish to share some of the most beautiful & meaningful short books read over the last 6 months

like Death in Venice, genius can be divined in a sitting

I returned from London with this package nestling at my door

“The spider a web, man a friendship”

two mild lones pay a visit to William Blake

chip over the seesaw between grief & mourning & the acceleration of all things

except the collective better wisdom of the world

Stone Doves, Sea Shells & an orange’s shadow sing over a grave

With Marc Nash

Pub by Dzanc Books 📕

One of the touchstones of my life, since her work was introduced to me 30 years ago when I was a young writer.

Accompanying me to London

Seek and read her work. 🙏🌻🇦🇷🧎‍♂️

I cannot recommend this brilliant book enough

The irony of recommending “i hate the internet” surely is not list on Jarett Kobek….

or Jack Kirby for that matter

London

Hyde Park

Last year,

Hyde Park, Winter Christmas Carnival

early draft of a poem, now completely revised for final manuscript submissions

Re-reading old drafts, painful and humbling

I share for my students so they see my process

Poems, mind of their own & stubbornness

Rest of week

Reading and writing only
