Portfolio: On Bookmarks and Other Ruins @dreamsofbeing.bsky.social's notes-on-bookmarks are in complete & total dialogue with everything that draught stands for: the provisional, the note, the process, the engagement. We're honoured to publish with a new essay www.draughtjournal.com/article/on-b...

‘As a tangible object gets made, the person who is making it also gets made in the process’ Conversation between draught editor Shehnaz Suterwalla and curator Glenn Adamson on making, material intelligence and culture www.draughtjournal.com/article/glen...

‘My eyes fall upon an image, or it ‘floats us smoothly down a stream; resting’ filmmaker Mark Cousins writing about one (nsfw) detail from Bertolucci’s ‘1900’ — or a list of things in his head, an image that ‘for a fragment of a second, is the whole movie’ www.draughtjournal.com/article/1900

The brilliant Francesca Wade on Gertrude Stein and Christian Marclay

'The Clock and The Making of Americans are two radical efforts to foreground, formally, the experience of time passing. One is a mammoth stream of prose, the other a film which never ends' In Adjacencies, Francesca Wade on The Making of Americans and The Clock www.draughtjournal.com/article/pres...

’Because I can only write with things, I thought a good idea is to go to the supermarket, and to look for something I could write with’ From the fascinating conversation our editor @jeremymillar.bsky.social had with artist Mark Manders for issue 1.1.1 www.draughtjournal.com/article/mark...

'We get to write a book again, try to imagine what motivated and prompted a writer to write what they did, what mood they were in, what tone they were going for' In our I wish I'd made section, @jencalleja.bsky.social on a book she's always wanted to translate www.draughtjournal.com/article/bein...

‘What are you doing at the moment?’ ‘I’m in pain.’ In the Land of Pain documents the isolation of pain, but also the value of being among the pained, of having pain in common. Daudet describes the beginning of the season at the thermal baths of Lamalou: Daisy Lafarge @draughtjournal.bsky.social

One of our formats is 'adjacencies', in which two works — which might, at first glance, seem unrelated — are considered in relation to one another. In this one, the excellent Daisy Lafarge considers a Netflix reality TV show in relation to the work of late-c.19 French writer Alphonse Daudet.

'The coupling of boredom and intensity is constitutive of crip time, which is warped time' The first Adjacencies, in which two works are considered in relation to one another: Daisy Lafarge on illness, Netflix show Outlast & Alphonse Daudet's In the Land of Pain www.draughtjournal.com/article/flare

'like swallows beneath bridges, like starlings above clouds – points in time, and across landscapes.' 'Notes, Murmurations: The Notebook as Form of Rime' – Lisa Robertson on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's notebooks (& on notebooks, note-taking, a lifetime of reading) draughtjournal.com/article/note...

’What would be a reasonable assumption? English to Korean, or Korean to English? Is translation always direction-specific?’ Don Mee Choi on poetry, translation, politics and twinning draughtjournal.com/article/tran...
