From the latest issue of #ForgottenPoets

—: Inhibition :— The night is pointed With cruel stars, And sharpened By the steel war chant Of ambushed crickets. If there were a blood-red moon, One could carefully Kill the thing he loved And bury it Beneath a monumental pine tree. But the cold bayonets Of the stars Prevent me; And the revengeful crickets Have made me weary of both love and hate.

the endless ground of your own deep pulse,

Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. David Young
Be ahead of all partings, as if they were behind you, like the winter that’s just past. For among the winters is one so endlessly winter that your heart, if you overwinter, can survive it. Be dead in Eurydice, always—, climb with more song, climb with more praise, back up into pure relation. Here in the kingdom of decay, among what’s wasting, be a tingling glass that shatters itself with sound. Exist while you know the state of nonexistence, the endless ground of your own deep pulse, so that you can fulfill it completely this one time. With the used-up, as well as the muffled and useless stock of full nature, the unreckoned sum, count yourself in, rejoicing, and then demolish the count.

This is why they could never make me hate you, Emily Henry.
HENRY Well, thank you. This is where I can get onto a long rant. I hear a lot of feedback from people who aren't really romance readers, who think of it as sheer escapism, and that has not been my experience as a writer or a reader or a watcher. The reason I love romance so much is because it takes the brightest parts of life and the darkest parts of life, and it puts them side by side in a way that feels safe because you have that safety net of a happy ending. I have a real issue with the fact that a tragic love story is treated as more important or more artistically valuable than a love story that ends in a place of hope and optimism. Because, in real life, if you are a person who wants a monogamous, long-term relationship, your best-case scenario is you meet someone, you fall in love, you love each other your entire life and then one of you dies, and it is the worst, most excruciating pain. By putting that end cap on the moment that they're happy and they're hopeful, you are - I'm getting teared up. This always makes me emotional because it makes me think about my dogs, honestly. You are saying that the value, the important part of the story, is this moment when they are happy and they are together. And that's my worldview. It's like, things really suck a lot of the time, but love is the thing that makes it all worth it.

Sebastian has been scandalizing polite society with his scientific theories of sexual inheritance. But there’s one small problem. They’re not his theories. They’re Violet’s.

A friend of mine's elderly dog took a new chew bone, walked to his kennel, and passed away shortly afterward.

I'm brokenhearted for them, but sixteen years for a big dog is quite an extraordinary life. And he died, happy and warm in his den, with a snack under his chin.

May we all be so lucky.

How about a bit of holiday reading? It’s a comic, it’s an academic book, it’s an experiment in researching & writing differently in geography & social science. Hey, you can also just read the comics!

did you know that in 1983 there was an Amtrak "Love Train" that took a large group of romance authors/fans to the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention? NYT was not a fan of the documentary about them, saying the women featured had "barren lives"
