πŸ—β€™They snort. It is morning. I’m pounding like a big new heart.’

πŸ’šthere is a delightful, energising strangeness to this slim wonder of a novel from @theemmapress.bsky.social in a compelling translation from Hannah Lutz’s Swedish by Andy Turner. It is well worth absorbing.

Central Edinburgh as seen from Holyrood Park.

Central Edinburgh as seen from Holyrood Park.

But Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream
Fitful and dark,
Unseizable in Leith
And wildered by the Forth,
But irresistibly at last
Cleaving to sombre heights
Of passionate imagining
Till stonily,
From soaring battlements,
Earth eyes Eternity.

- Hugh MacDiarmid

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...
