So pumped to spot the last of my Death Styles here in the night-club-slash-precinct-of-heaven that is Firmament!! Thanks to the sublime Dr. Vik Shirley and the whole sick crew. Sublunary lovers, go get it!
the lung’s hung with wet wool its own shipwreck and a throw of the dice can’t alter its inconsequence Holy 🔥 Joyelle McSweeney
“I didn't know that a poet was something you could just become, that I thought all poets were already dead.” Up today at Firmament Online, “Listen or Die”, an essay on Swedish poet Ann Jäderlund by Sara Abdollahi Lekta, translated by Johannes Göransson sublunaryeditions.com/magazine/liste…
Im always interested in Iranian-Swedish writer Sara Abdollahi Lekta’s essays and Im super pleased to have translated her very personal and brilliant memoiristic essay on Ann Jäderlund and Lonespeech (Nightboat Books ), first published in Lyrikvännen .
“Can art be the nail hammered into the present, on which the future might be hung?” Thrilled to see my new book Death Styles as part of Lloyd Wallace’s live-wire speculations about art, force and futurity— and to appear with my comrades Toby Altman and Marty Cain — hell yeah!
