Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Thank you @themassreview.bsky.social! This poem is excerpted from “Khayal” … a nonce form I based on the Hindustani classical music structure of the same name. Khayal is the concluding poem of my forthcoming collection, Deś, from @tupelopress.bsky.social.

I was trying the other day to remember the name for a book that is read in both directions, with the back half upside down to the front half, and then I forgot I was trying to remember it at all. It's tête-bêche. [cc @jhsilverman.bsky.social]

Another very strong review of Adrian Duncan's new novel, A Thought Without Collision. For my money, he's the best Irish writer writing today. Steadily building a quality body of work while staying apart from the canapé side of publishing. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

A Thought Without Collision by Adrian Duncan review – a brilliant interrogation of philosophy and wonder

With a character inspired by Wittgenstein, this exploration of the mysteries of the universe draws on multiple philosophical traditions

So ... every year the devil on my left shoulder whispers into my ear that I should google myself ... and every year this pathetic and maladaptive behavior gets reinforced! Because I find a beautiful review I knew nothing about! Thank you to the person who took time and care to read me so carefully:

um, would you have bandwidth to post a little sketch illustrating this? I can't quite wrap my head around it. (Sorry if this is very presumptuous).

I found it exquisite ... and devastating. I wish I could play it cool here, but: I am a huge fan. Winshaw Legacy / Carve Up is one of my all-time favorite novels (I often gift it). The virtuosity, acuity of insight and ferocious tenderness of your work I find absolutely extraordinary.

Mr. Coe, the piece is gorgeous, left me gobsmacked (hence the inelegance of my post). Your repost above rendered me more inarticulate still ... I startled a small child on the sidewalk by yelping "Jonathan Coe!!!" when my phone pinged. Am going to listen to "9th and 13th" next ... and the Honegger.

"On the 26-hour flight, which made stops in Sierra Leone, the Central African Republic, and Ghana, Barry and other passengers say ICE-contracted guards subjected them to verbal and physical abuse, tied at least two of them in full-body straitjackets, and refused to let them use the lavatory."

Once I said “We’ll, takes all kinds to make a world“ to my friend and mentor, poet Robert McNamara. He said, “Well that’s good …because we’ve got all kinds.”

Great article for all you autofiction readers and writers: 'Experience is the memoir’s trump card. In autofiction, by contrast, memory is warped. Capturing a subjective feeling or a specific narrative is more important than a faithful reconstruction.' dissentmagazine.org/article/auto...

The Confessions of Rachel Cusk - Dissent Magazine

Autofiction collapses the distance between creator and product. But in her latest novel, Life of M, Rachel Cusk seeks an escape from this confessional mode.

Love, cast all thought aside. I cast aside all thought. Wendell Berry

A POEM OF THANKS

I have been spared another day
to come into this night
as though there is a mercy in things
mindful of me. Love, cast all
thought aside. I cast aside
all thought. Our bodies enter
their brief precedence,
surrounded by their sleep.
Through you I rise, and you
through me, into the joy
we make, but may not keep.

She saved lives. Thats her legacy - in so many charities and purposes, Dolly Parton saved lives. She never hoarded anything. She came from poverty, and knew to care for community. She is fundamentally - and fortunately for all of us - the opposite of what we see today. She was the best of us.

I can't wait to read Munis' new book on Aurangzeb But I am sick to death of having to correct this myth (the reviewer's not the author's error): Auranzgeb DID patronise musicians — until at least 1698 — and he DID patronise artists — there are 100s of portraits. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
