Increasingly, I believe than @incastellated John Trefry is one of the most interesting, compelling, important writers working the horizons of what a book means 📕 20 pgs of magnificence @gariellelutz @21stCscribe @aliner @blakebutler @roughghosts @exhaustdata @damiankelleher

Magnificent essay on only Gass book I have not yet read magnificent on writing & on pacing around dining room tables (something I do often when working on a poem which has me by the throat and I attempt to buck it and cull to readable shape on the floor) in a writer’s life Read
hello you can now read me try to answer questions like "what does the narrator of the Tunnel want?" and "does he have gender dysphoria?"

series of brilliant poems by the carnivorously endowed poet @aliner i always saw poetry as a mind on fire, not a heart on fire, and alina's poems are just that, for me read and devour
An undermentioned part of the poetry-writing process involves cackling, cringing, pinching yourself, knocking on wood, gulping down watermelon-flavored sour straws, and begging the moon to forgive you. https://t.co/fcRqBAaTW4

absolutely extraordinary read.... article by Poet Zheng Xiaoqiong sharing....
An extraordinary work of oral history by Chinese worker-poet Zheng Xiaoqiong, who spent over a decade in Guangdong’s factories interviewing migrant labourers. I think it’s unlike anything being published about China in English today. Read it at @Equatormag
