“Whose ear could cut through any accent like butter? Who could type while orchestrating an orgy? Who, said the agency, would go straight to the top with a good blowout? Who walked through the rain listening to Chaka Khan?” —Rosa Alcalá, “You: Promo” @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

The longer I live, the more I become convinced that the only thing that matters in literature is the (more or less less irrational) shamanism of a book, i.e. that the writer is first of all an enchanter. - Nabokov to Edmund Wilson, 27 Nov. 1946

A poem from Mark Nowak. Taken From ...AGAIN "SOMEWHERE THERE IS STINGING NETTLE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SOMEWHERE THERE ARE SHELTER-IN-PLACE ORDERS AND SOMEWHERE ELSE THERE ARE STOCK OPTIONS IN A TOWN LIKE THIS TOWN IN A COUNTRYSIDE LIKE THIS COUNTRYSIDE..." lithub.com/a-poem-by-ma...
