I am finding A. Applebaum's "Autocracy Inc." quite annoying tbh. She definitely juxtaposes the "good" west and the "bad" autocracies of Venezuela, Russia, China, Cuba etc. But there's zero (so far) about uhh so why dya think Cuba is doing business with BRICS?1/

This artwork, titled Face and Flowers, was painted in 1957 by the iconic Australian modern artist Charles Blackman.

The painting belongs to Blackman’s prominent early themes from the 1950s that frequently juxtaposed solitary, melancholic human profiles with vibrant floral elements.The heavy use of shadow, dreamlike green tones, and a warped perspective are typical of his emotional and psychological style during this era. His frequent depiction of faces with flowers was deeply personal, largely inspired by his wife and muse, Barbara Blackman, who was progressively losing her sight and relied on flowers as some of her last vibrant sensory stimuli.

This artwork is titled Strada con lampioni (Street with Lampposts), painted by the Italian artist Salvo (Salvatore Mangione) in 2001.

The painting features a deceptively simple style, with buildings depicted as plain, solid-colored cubes arranged in a nighttime scene.

Man, did Yeats have our number or what?

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

"Tell me what it's like to live without curiosity, without awe." Letter to the Person who Carved His Initials into the Oldest Living Longleaf Pine in North America by Matthew Olzmann via @mayacpopa.bsky.social

Tell me what it's like to live without
curiosity, without awe. To Sail
on clear water, rolling your eyes
at the kelp reefs swaying
beneath you, ignoring the flicker
of mermaid scales in the mist,
looking at the world and feeling
only boredom. To stand
on the precipice of some wild valley,
the eagles circling, a herd of caribou
booming below, and to yawn
with indifference. To discover
something primordial and holy.
To have the smell of the earth
welcome you to everywhere.
To take it all in and then,
to reach for your knife.

I usually post this on Anzac Day, but my access to the internet will be limited tomorrow, so here it is today. WWI soldier and casualty Wilfred Owen's words are as relevant as ever this year (The old lie Dulce et Decorum est, Pro patria mori (How sweet and becoming it is to die for one's country))

Dulce et Decorum Est

By Wilfred Owen

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

#poetry #writingcommunity #nationalpoetrymonth #poem Joan Kwon Glass absolutely stunning me with her bold writing.🫢

Last Communion. - Joan Kwon Glass

Here I am, kneeling again before a man
who tells me I can be holy while insisting that nothing is permanent, not even my precious sins.

I am washed in the blood, longing for something sacred, tongue hanging over my bottom lip like a dog.

I like to read between the lines of obituaries, try to guess what their family members left out on purpose.
You can tell a lot by what isn't there. For example, vague obit of healthy teenager: death by overdose,
50-year-old mom who was a brave warrior: breast cancer,
30-year-old male, donations to NAMI in lieu of flowers: suicide.

My sister was an asshole, and now she's dead.
Though her life ended at 37, I wrote her eulogy as though she died at age nine,
because that was the last time she wasn't an asshole, and I wanted to say something true without pissing everyone off.

Here's the thing-if all we have to do to erase our gravest mistakes is take communion or stop breathing one day, what is keeping us from making them all, from relishing each one, knowing in the end, they will not define us?

When I die, please tell everyone the truth about me.
That I walked around this place believing
I was a little better than most. That twice I turned away from true love out of pride, revered books more than men. That I did, in fact, have a favorite child.

While you're at it, reveal this truth about us all-that each of us has secrets we take to the grave, things we want to admit, but are certain no one wants to hear. Tell them that the very last time I ever took communion, I closed my lips around the priest's finger, let him feel my hot tongue against his skin. And he let me.

Can't stop thinking about this Adam Zagajewski poem

BOOGIE-WOOGIE

You shout from the other room
You ask me how to spell boogie-woogie
And instantly I think what luck
no war has been declared
no fire has consumed
our city's monuments
our bodies our dwellings

The river didn't flood
no friends
have been arrested
It's only boogie-woogie
I sigh relieved
and say it's spelled just like it sounds
boogie-woogie

--Adam Zagajewski (1945-2021)
(Translated, from the Polish, by Clare Cavanagh.)
