Poem by Fanny Howe. ❤️
Il won't be able to write from the gravel
Fanny Howe
I won't be able to write from the grave so let me tell you what I love:
oil, vinegar, salt, lettuce, brown bread, butter, cheese and wine, a windy day, a fireplace, the children nearby, poems and songs, a friend sleeping in my bed—
and the short northern nights.

always thinking of this Louise Glück poem
                                    Telemachus' Detachment


When I was a child looking
at my parents' lives, you know
what I thought? I thought
heartbreaking. Now I think
heartbreaking, but also
insane. Also
very funny.

Very hard to believe it has been two years since the great poet Louise Glück died. Sharing again this remembrance I wrote then.

Louise would say "I don't want dessert, but I'll have a bite of whatever you're having."

Two years gone today. I miss her.

One of my all-time favorite songs is Keep It Confidential. It's one of those songs that lifts you in its arms.

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977
black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

​​László Krasznahorkai has won the Nobel Prize in Literature for a body of work that, “in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art.”

David Schurman Wallace reviewed his grim and funny “Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming” on our site back in 2019.

Sitting for a while with your earthly meaninglessness in the face of László Krasznahorkai’s fiction is oddly sobering, even calming.
