New, vivid @garielle.bsky.social at the wonderful Terrazzo Editions magazine: “She always comes back thinner, tenser, rummaged-looking, heart astagger, huskier of voice, angled differently in what she feels.” www.terrazzoeditions.com/terrazzomag/...

"Awe and wonder for the savage and beautiful life around me. I'm drop-jawed like an idiot, and delighted. Unknown and hidden, ambitious tissue. I tell my students it's living tissue we are wanting on the page. The rest is nonsense." —Barry Hannah

A truly awful day for movies and art, losing one of the most singular and brilliant voices to ever make them. We've unlocked our full David Lynch issue from 2017, which is now entirely free to read. R.I.P. Mr. Lynch, and thank you forever for the work and example you left us.

what I (somewhat fumblingly) told a group of students last year is that you are trying to “glimpse your own cryptid.” what appears to people later as a solid aesthetic vision just begins as that personal glitch between trees.

Thrilled to have my hybrid/flash CNF collection find a home w @riverriverbooks! Enormous thanks to @hanvanderhart & @amorakhuey for believing in my lil weird. It’s my most vulnerable, open-hearted work yet. It’s a lament & time capsule of my time in Louisville, 2020-2022.

Thank you, this is unbelievable!

"The man is doing the year’s accounts. Finding the balance, trying to estimate how much he has been translated. For it does translate him, well or poorly. As the woods are translated by the seasons. He is searching for a baseline of the Lord." —Jack Gilbert, "The White Heart of God"

People who follow coverage of movies and celebrities should read every word of this. People responsible for that coverage should read every word of this twice. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

KNEECAP, on Netflix, is quite good, as funny as it is politically pointed

Love this new Cameron Winter album. Reminds me of old Beck with its blend of silliness and sincerity. m.youtube.com/watch?v=25WN...
