‘There is a park in the heart of Paris where people go to practice dying’
- a prose poem by David Shumate

I forgot the smell of orchids
they must have dried now on my balcony
the fragrance of memories
of the bygone time
I lie in my grave, in a corner
cold, alone, unconsoled
I remember the smell
the henna-stained hand of my lover
a past, a togetherness
the scarf of my dead mother

Derrida writes that “surviving is another word for mourning,” and I can’t stop thinking about this w/r/t the dismantling of the liberal arts.
The end of liberal arts curricula — and the rise of curricula that aspires to nothing beyond a paycheck — is the death of hope.

This is 'Cairn', to be published at midsummer. Notes, poems, micro-essays, acts of witness. 'Wonderful writing...a profound meditation on the precariousness of the planet.' Thank you @ObserverUK and to @SortofBooks, for making it a thing of beauty.

🌈 Happy Pride Month!
As we celebrate love, identity, and the vibrant spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, let’s also take a moment to reflect on inclusivity in all aspects of life including in death.
Together, we can create a world where everyone feels seen in life and in death

The gorgeous latest issue of Lana Turner. Do purchase if you haven't yet, it's just a stunner. Many thanks to Cal Bedient and David Lau for including "lark, antigone."

Strange that both Helen Vendler & Marjorie Perloff have left us: the mighty women who shone such a light. I met Helen in Oxford (as a stranger at a cafe) when I was facing huge hurdles as a woman scholar & she validated my mind against the gaslighting. She all but saved me....

I couldn’t touch the whole of it.

ALT Other Wound The wound is usually someone else’s. My love was never enough. I couldn’t touch the whole of it. I wasn’t a match for that depth. Every daughter has a cage around her head and a mother on the cross. I always hope to take it off, and rarely do. Instead, I climb up, like a child into the bed. I nail myself beside you.
