Making things up is « an opportunity to change ourselves », Samir Chadha writes in his review of the Norwegian writer Vigdis Hjorth's (1959) 5 novels. Maybe changing ourselves begins by adding Hjorth’s novels to our summer reading list. Now un-paywalled: europeanreviewofbooks.com/to-grieve-to...

This gorgeous ghazal has taken up residence on my head since I heard @usuallyolive.bsky.social read it aloud!

thinking of Mary Oliver writing, "We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power"—and there really is so much in how a culture responds to loss, to mortality & vulnerability. do we try (endlessly, violently) to "conquer" it? suppress/erase/export it? or do we face it? do we grieve?
