ME READING STUFF

Along with announcing a month-long break, I read a prose piece on discovering poetry by the short story master Raymond Carver. What we talk about when we talk about poetry what we talk about when we talk about secondhand bookstores what we talk about when we talk about fendi bags what we talk about when we talk about love. And Kleenex. And exhaustion.

I'm sorry I'm so tired and probably REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY BORING TONIGHT.

“The people you really like a lot will disappear” - Mary Ruefle

But couch studios make life better. And anything that makes it better is good. A chili dog. A note. A find. A soft towel. Comfortably sitting. Watching a dog breathe. Obsessions felt but controlled. Closing your eyes.

Hello my friends and enemies! Today I'm super happy to share with you this amazing book I found at my local bookstore. It is the POETRY edition of "Contemporary Kazakh Literature" and this is the first time any of these hundreds of poems have been translated to English. And holy shit they're GOOD.

Throw that trash away HARD. I love you.
