Such a good tribute. I was not familiar with Silverblatt but would now pick up a book of his author interviews in an instant.

Probably the most amazing personality quiz you will ever take. It is very funny and attuned to the present. Donate any amount to take it. The book recommendations I got as a result also look stellar (and I have not heard of any of them!). Last day is today!

Brazil records biggest annual fall in emissions in 15 years, notably thanks to fight against deforestation The gross emissions of Latin America's biggest country fell by 16.7% year-on-year, according to Brazil's Climate Observatory, a network of environmental NGOs.

Some good news: Brazil's fight against deforestation is paying climate dividends.

She was so brilliant and wise, truly wise. Her essays are also phenomenal. I was her student for a semester at the New School, and the workshop was life-changing for all involved. Condolences to all, those who loved the wise woman and those who have been shaped or transformed by the poet.

Thank you for sharing, and for including all of the ways this practice has changed you (and I also appreciate the aside about "being present," it is odd and unsettling that it has become a cliched aspiration of our time...). I'm going to try it!
