lol, very funny
I WRITE BOOKS & publish, so no need educate about what writers put into their books--im not a college kid
i too advocate lucidity: clear thinking, as essence in poetry, writing and in response to reading
yr sentiment: cliche ("the artist in the art")
read more
but yr prerogative
Fir example: Trump behaviour and books horror
Celine, horrible person, books great
Heidegger shadowy shitty person, great writer
I of course was influence by learning of their heart butβ¦..
Celan often treated his wife horribly, but I still need his work in my life
I think you donβt quite comprehend my critique
I consider profoundly a personβs behaviour, as a humanβas best I can know them/the action.
I never hero worship artists or pieces of work
People who ignore with disdain or worship are equally illiterate
I evaluate separately,differing criterion
Brilliant
Just begun.
I wrote thoughts at IG
A true master of the lucid, culmination and beautiful, fox-like sentence of shadow
I love this book
@cbeditions.bsky.social Invisible Dogs π
@usrofc.bsky.social nominee
Read it!
In the realm of hirsute and warm nations
Genius
ok...i couldnt remember if you read it for your non-fiction november, or whatever y'all do hahahaha
truth info can distort our experience, for sure
when i re-read 2 Munro stories, didnt quite feel the same about her
folk think artists have to be mad lunatics or transgressive to be authentic and good (which is idiotic) and that folk think great art necessitates suffering
our murky interior
agree
i pay absolutely NO ATTENTION to the way people behave in public or private when evaluating their art
i know spectacularly kind, generous and lovely folk, who write shite or dont write at all,
great
& miserable abusive pricks whose work/books I NEED & LOVE
we live in such tedious times, CB

@sarabandebooks.bsky.social publishes in April, correct
a day struggling with something i thought (initially, alas) had worked (drunken delirium of jet lag), i turn away from the poem and language of the head and seek something else and return an old series to toss out the sentimental into the river

this remarkable pastor is a perfect example of what is missing in the US, a person who not only speaks to power but understands fearless love for her belief and for speaking directly toward evil
may history remember Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde and not the horror with pancake makeup
