Iain Grinbergs

Today, inspired by some of my students’ podcasts on mental health, I ran. It was my first run in months—and it very much felt like it.

They’re all getting zeros.

I kind of laugh at the idea of a "reliable narrator". Have you met people?!

Iain Grinbergs - Letter to Shunryū Suzuki (from Northampton, England) - The Dewdrop Poet Iain Grinbergs draws our attention to the sacred details around us in "Letter to Shunryū Suzuki (from Northampton, England)".

Thrilled to have another poem out in the world. I wrote it as a tribute to Suzuki, whose teachings continue to be a great source of comfort.

Will & Grace was an important show for me while growing up, although I didn't realize the full extent until later.

The difficulty with writing anything about anything is that any given thing, on closer inspection, appears to be connected to every thing, and now you’ve gone from writing about anything to writing about everything 😅

The cover of Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, showing a portrait of a young white woman with a detached expression in a white garment.

The most millennial book I’ve ever read—that is to say, I loved it.

The cover of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day.

“Why, Mr Stevens, why, why, why do you always have to pretend?”

I haven’t teared up from a novel in a long time. This is a book that will stick with me. What a masterpiece.
