Here’s an interview I did with French music writer Ben Langlois about the music that’s shaped me and the music in my books. He’s included a French translation of the interview, as well as the original in English. This was a lot of fun.

James McWilliams, Frank Stanford’s biographer, on my other favorite poet, Everette Maddox. This is a terrific intro to his life and work (and features many of his poems, including “Hypothetical Self-Epitaph,” which is one I think about every damn day). www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/177...

“He still believes his people can be romantic heroes…”
Beautiful Unloved video essay by Scout Tafoya on Alan Rudolph’s beautiful late masterpiece RAY MEETS HELEN (for my money, one of the best and most underrated movies of the last decade). www.rogerebert.com/the-unloved/...
“Seventy-six pretty perfect minutes. A fairytale from the gutter.” 🕳️

David Lynch left us one year ago exactly. A few days after his death, we recorded a tribute episode with @harleypeyton.bsky.social, @ramseycampbell.bsky.social, Brian Yuzna, @wmboyle4.bsky.social, and Knut Larsson, who shared their thoughts and memories about Lynch's lasting legacy. 🔥

“This book is actually worth five stars if you are into losers who live meaningless lives, and you enjoy being depressed right up to the last page.” -Karen, Amazon reviewer

I read the first page of this and *immediately* fell into a melancholy that would've had Nietzsche ripping up The Gay Science and guzzling black coffee.
Looks excellent.
Ha, that’s perfect. Thanks so much.
