'Berman's lyrics are often melancholic, deceptively simple, funny and modest, with a sense of acute intelligence and curiosity that has somehow fallen in on itself under the weight of it all, left standing bemused and amused in the wreckage' The Strange World of #DavidBerman buff.ly/wf8j77h

If our cities are shaped by stories, then great books form the foundation of knowledge and inspiration needed to build more liveable, inclusive and prosperous places. These are 24 titles we read this year that informed our approach to changing hearts, minds and streets. An #UrbanismBookClub thread.

this is true. this is totally happening.

"This is not an essay about psychogeography or being a flâneur, it is a question of what about settling somewhere is it that resists what is otherwise one of life’s great pleasures." @sylvswarren.bsky.social writes about familiar walks she describes as 'mizmazes. [via @thearsonista.bsky.social]

The plane glints in the sun, spins out in smoke- tufted straights, loops ‘eternal <love, peace,> days’ nor had earth appeared more beautiful in its ruins’ luminous web of sand, of stone, grass, wind. -Karin Lessing, from “Nazca”

Lorine Niedecker again, a few five-liners (with rhyming third and fourth lines). Written in 1957-58, shortly after Niedecker started working “a menial job at Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital.” The tremendous punch of the wee.

"The nature of a pop-up is that it is drawing to a close from the moment that it opens. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can help to give it focus and purpose." SHIP's log: notes from a pop-up bookshop longbarrowpress.substack.com/p/ships-log

Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today! buff.ly/nflmjN6

"I don't know" is my mission statement.

@dragonslayerma.bsky.social for this week's #promptcombo #northstar, I present you with a (slightly cheating) beau présent poem about Kochab, one of the two 'guardians of the pole' that were once believed to be the true north star. It's also the second brightest star in Ursa Minor ✴️

Imagine when around 80% of the island of Ireland looked something like this, with lynx, wild boar, wolves, bears, and so much more. We should be a rainforest nation. A *massive* part of our heritage has been stolen from us. Let's start bringing some of it back, via #Rewilding.

Those talking openly about witchery often focus on the active aspects – possibly because they like telling people what to do. There's a neglect of passive enchantments, those parts of witchery where we listen, where we commune with the land. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
