I started my first book of 2026 yesterday. The Oppermans by Lion Feuchtwanger. I'm reading an ebook version a friend unearthed for me. The Persephone edition I have had for years, is too chunky for my hands to cope with. A German classic first published in 1934. 📚💙

In a combination of prose and free-form poems, I, bird destabilises reality, conjuring aspects of David Lynch and Marina Abramović. This is a collection for our times - 'genocide is being perpetrated in a foreign land ... Now is the time for the 'Screaming Tree' ('The White Room'). - Amanda Bell

Remembering Manchán Magan who died Oct 2, 2025.

God, did I love this when I first heard Station to Station as a youngster. Loved it even more when, as an adult, I discovered it was written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington (of The Ballad of High Noon fame—“Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin’”) for the 1957 film of the same name. Still love it.

Total bargain!!

A long poem An invisible line A 270-mile walk “The idea was to walk the line from Peacehaven to the Humber. I had devised the notion that the physical act of walking would help me to locate what was lost”. New year offer: £3 off Nancy Gaffield's 'Meridian' ngmeridian.wordpress.com

The best film I watched & best book I read in 2025 continue to float around my mind, and I love that I'm unconsciously still spending time with this art, that I'm allowing space for art to stay with me amid the onslaught of media and doom and commercialism of our modern age.

Here’s one for the #Authors #Writers amongst you 😅 A Holiday Party... ;-) margot-kin-berg.com/2025/12/25/a...

Art in Vienna around the turn of the 20thC is synonymous with the paintings of Gustav Klimt. 'At the Lunch Table,' (1901) by Carl Moll may strike one as an anomaly of the period, nevertheless it is a portrayal of modern life, in terms of subject and the style used to convey it.

I write these.
