my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

Present Tense
by Todd Dillard

My father’s telling me about his dog,
how it fell into a well
when they were walking down a wooded path.
His dog ran across some rotted planks,
the planks splintered, “And whoosh!”
my father says. “No more dog.”
I look at the clock and remind my father it’s three A.M.
“I’m not finished,” he says.
He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket,
how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down,
and yelled for the dog to get in.
“But all I pulled up was more barking.”
“Dad,” I say. “This never happened.”
He says he can’t remember
how long he tried to get the dog
to shimmy into the bucket.
Just that at some point
when the sky turned tawny—“Dad—“
as a pitcher of sweet tea—“Dad—“
he decided to give up.
“Dad,” I say. “It’s late.
I’m tired. And you’re dead.”
“Dammit, son,” my father says. “Let me finish!”
My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt
and pouring the dirt into the well.
And I know what he’s getting at, I know
he’s going to tell me bucket by bucket
he filled the well and
the dog jumped out. He’s going to say
something about how the dog
led him home through the dark.
I know this so loudly I don’t
hear, at first, my father’s silence.
“Dad?” I say. “Dad, are you there?”
I keep lowering the bucket
but all I ever pull up are leaves.
Red leaves. Lately, some gold.

#6 The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon "This is America, you live in, you let it happen. Let it unfurl." The paranoid hang over comedown from the 60's. Short and pretty funny, and especially appropriate in the age of Q anon. I think is the year I finally tackle Gravitys Rainbow

Fellow men, I recommend finding your love of novels amid dryly witty midcentury English novelists. A strong alternative if you aren't feeling Brodernism (sorry) or Infinite Jest www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/s...

This book was really good.

The cover of the book called “Losing Music: a memoir of art, pain, and transformation” by John Cotter that has the title on it on a cream background with a black and white photo in the middle of a very cool looking white hipster couple looking at the camera - presumably the author and his partner Elisa. There is a quote from Teju Cole on the cover that says “an acute and very beautiful book.” (Which is accurate.)

John Cotter and I planning a reading & convo about sound & hearing together at @spacegallery.bsky.social in Portland in a few weeks, so I’m rereading this & marveling all over again. And I should have early copies of Deep Whoosh by then. 🤞 #HearingLoss #HoHArtist #Memoir #DeepWhoosh

A friend recently found out I hadn’t read Lonesome Dove and gave me one of those looks that said, “Have I misjudged you all these years?” He was right. It is amazing. Like Cormac McCarthy if he wasn’t depressed.

I bring up this Elisa Gabbert quote a lot, because it’s true: “Of course, you don’t *have* to read [canonical books]…But if you want to speak or write knowledgeably about them, you really do have to read them. You can’t just assume you know what they’re like.”
