Every morning I wake up and immediately read something that makes me say "Jesus Christ that's bleak" in a completely different key of bleak than the day before and in some ways that's remarkable

This issue—this whole magazine—is so beautiful and thoughtfully curated.

Four panel comic with the header "Close Shave" featuring a translucent bird musing on a tree branch
Panel 1: "If I believed I was made of ice"
Panel 2: "I'd also have to believe I could melt"
Panel 3: "So I must be made of flesh and bone"
Panel 4 (the bird is dripping now): "To which no harm can ever come"

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

James Schuyler’s poem “February 13, 1975,” from The Payne Whitney Poems sequence in his 1980 book, The Morning of the Poem.

“I wish one could press / snowflakes in a book like flowers.”

James Schuyler, written from his room in the Payne Whitney Clinic, fifty years ago today.

Arctic Play – Mita Mahato Mahato’s poetic attention interacts with ideas and observations about community and climate, and the spaces in her language are literally filled in with color.

I wrote about Mita Mahato’s ARCTIC PLAY, and impermanence, climate, grammar, color: www.full-stop.net/2024/11/22/r...
