My piece on “Project 2025” was just posted on the New School’s online journal, “Public Seminar.” Rather than simply catalog the long list of horribles—and the list is extremely long—I took a thematic approach.

My poem, “She Had Been Registered for Vassar at Birth,” one of my “refracted ekphrastic” poems—this time on Sidney Lumet’s “The Group” (1966) after Mary McCarthy’s “The Group” (1963)—just appeared in “Exacting Clam.” .

In the mtg of the AM SOC OF INT’L LAW, the elephant in the room was ever-present; in some sessions a large, wrinkled pillar of leg crashed through the ceilings—as in that of Harold Koh (former legal advisor to State & Yale L Sch dean) on challenges to int'l law by Trump.

My poem on “The Spy who came in from the Cold”—both the film and the novel—was just published by “The Exacting Clam.” This is the first in a long series of poems on films that are in turn based on literature, which I’ve called “refracted ekphrases.”.

I had a great time giving my talk at SOAS hosted by Parvathi Menon & Catriona Drew of the Centre for the Study of Colonialism, Empire & International Law. Stayed at my favorite little Fitzrovia hotel that used to be the home of Pre-Raphaelite painter, John Everett Millais.

The news is quick to jump on every fissure in Trump’s wild coalition, this time on Musk’s attacking Trump’s announced AI initiative. I suddenly realized I’m getting swept up into a new Kremlinology—who’s in what position for the May Day Parade .
