‘There’s the power of good writing and the power to deem writing good; these are different things with distinct geography (elsewhere needn’t be so far away: Edinburgh-based Canongate is an ingredient in Shepherd’s revival).’ @frasermacdonald.bsky.social on Nan Shepherd www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

"I’m reading Ephesians. It’s so good. I think. I haven’t had time to read it, but it feels important. Blaise Pascal says there's an empty space in the human heart that only God can fill. That is so true. I agree. I underline." - James W. Miller mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

open.substack.com/pub/camwhelr... Maggie’s poems attend so tenderly to all the awe & ash of this, our momentary, Life. She snagged me early. I felt plucked out of the wind & caught aloft. A kite broken loose. Lodged high in a tree with views of the whole horizon. I was buffeted & needed upholding.
