Departing the Writing Life – 16 January 2026 Writers, shy, aspiring, self-proclaimed or oft-published, should, I think, all read The Writing Life by Annie Dillard. Her account and analysis of writing, much of which includes recognising what m…

Pleased to find my Men of the Same Name being read at Heron Books in Bristol:
‘[R]eading these [poems], one wants to devote close attention and time to his writing, his characters and the poet, to spot patterns in how we have lived for thousands of years, be curious, do something.’

GINSBERG

When Ginsberg (always tolerant and kindhearted) wanted to help a starveling young poet he might close his letter by saying: take my letter to the Phoenix Bookshop in Cornelia Street, they may give you as much as $25 for it.

Roberto Tejada, Carbonate of Copper By Dale Martin Smith

"Tejada renders the past’s persistence in the imagination of the present... Readers find not agitprop but lyric expressivity opening a sense of wonder."

Fragment

Christ,
may I die at night
with a semblance of my faculties,
like the full moon that fails.

Robert Lowell was born on this day in 1917. According to Frank Bidart, this is "[t]he final stanza of an unfinished poem that Lowell was working on the week before he died."

Secret signals, hopeful cynicism, tasty alliteration. Wariness, weariness, wetness. Flowers. Flight. The scrape of aging against eros. Artful rearrangements. Aversion. Minerals. Survival. @jenniferlovegrove.bsky.social’s glorious chapbook The Tinder Sonnets (@knifeforkbook.bsky.social 2021) has …
