Roubaud was such a lovely man-- Robert and I spent two weeks at a poetry festival in Germany with him-- he translated some of Robert's poems into French. RIP 🙏

Erudite & exacting, Jeffrey Yang’s LINE AND LIGHT @GraywolfPress draws different worlds out of time’s “displaced embrace” & blends collaborative breath into words that are so refined & rectifying that reading becomes rendering. Now open this “memory place”& “walk into spring.”

@travelstoriesyt Valuska: one of Krasznahorkai’s angels, one of the holy people – in sharp contrast with the faceless mob. “In the end, things always turn out badly for Krasznahorkai’s angels. They function as sacrifices ‘because at the end of the day someone has to pay.’”

Here is a short video of one of the 1st Klamath River salmon to make it to the tributaries above the former Iron Gate Dam. The clip was recorded last Friday by Yurok Fisheries Dept Geologist Kayah Ray, who is part of a team surveying salmon in the newly undammed river reach.

This is what the front of the largest ice mass in the Alps looks like! 😭 During last years it was buried below debris of the Moosfluh landslide (R), but not anymore. Now a large floodplain has taken over! 🌊

It should be snowing rather than raining on #glaciers in late October... (!) Well, that's the "white beauty" of Griesgletscher right now. Not-so-nice final visit this morning for some last installations before winter.

Yesterday László Krasznahorkai received the prestigious Prix Formentor 2024. He thanked Kafka whose novel THE CASTLE he read age 12 in the hope that his brother’s friends would accept him in their circle, thereby sealing his own fate @FundFormentor @Acantilado1999 @rcwlitagency

The essence of being human is that we are always grasping towards the totality, yet we cannot comprehend the totality due our finite nature. Of us all, Fredric Jameson perhaps came closest.

Fred's answer: Given the immensity of the repression that was experienced in the 1970s, when it seemed that the possibility of a better world would be truly lost, that "the coming form of revolution appears first in the imagination and then in the streets."
