Hell yeah. Here's my manifesto: close reading for all. On Sigrid Nunez, and Karl Ove Knausgaard, and Erich Auerbach, and why close reading is an answer to AI. Thanks to @BrandyLJensen, rockstar editor, who rules. For @DefectorMedia

my second book published today. i can't contact any feeling about it, i am just absolutely gutted. If you pick it up, pick up a book of JClo's too, or instead. I guess I'll spend the rest of my life relearning what it is to write without being able to text him while doing it.

"Baudelaire's affirmation of the modern is inextricable from his affirmation of romanticism, and both are at issue in his 19th century reinvention of lyric poetry." @ronjaunee sits down with Nathan Brown to discuss his translation of "Flowers of Evil."

"I came to grasp the tenderness and generosity of these poems in a way I hadn't before, the kindness traversing them and the openness to experience they require." @ronjaunee speaks with Nathan Brown about his translation of Baudelaire's "Flowers Of Evil." https://t.co/DiVE4luOIx

The full list of the 70 majors under examination for low enrollment at UConn: languages, a ton of ed, art, art history, environmental sci (who needs that? 🫠), social work, gender & sexuality studies, Africana, Lat Am, philosophy. So epic & obscene. https://t.co/wc8tsSyNAa

One day I hope we can all see how much of an absolute farce this defanged, apolitical type of concern for an occupied people really is. Does food just disappear? Do people just burst into flames? Must we all pretend as if this is how the world operates?
The UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water, and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected.

if watching palestinians burned alive while still hooked up to ivs isn't enough to sicken you, to shame you, to forever alter your conception of what politics is "for", then there is just no spiritual hope for you i think
