Hot on the heels of poetry success follows another 'liberation' of poems email in my inbox. I think I have about 17+ poems now still looking for a home, and that's discounting those I'm still working to finish, as well as those I decided to 'give up' on (at least for the purposes of submission). 1/2

The rhetoric of tech in a nutshell: I value convenience, efficiency, ease first and also have no capacity to recognize humanity, my own or others, but feel qualified to run the world. Someone send an army of divorce lawyers; after all this guy already wants to disconnect.

Interesting to see Keith Jarrett on this list whose book is also nominated for the Forward Prize. Incidentally, it is also the only book from the latter shortlist I decided to get hold of (so far). I hope the T. S. Eliot Prize website will again have reader's notes on the shortlisted works.

The small lion-like animal with the flag is, by the way, running next to a tandem bicycle. And did I mention yet that the British Queen Victoria and the US President Cleveland are riding the bike?

Das Kind hat sich gestern zum ersten Mal eine Platzwunde zugezogen – an der Stirn, blutete natürlich heftig. Die Verletzung ist klein und wird sicher gut heilen, und das Kind ist fröhlich und aufgeweckt, aber Mann, oh Mann, das triggert vielleicht meine Ängste.

Latest read, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1760) by Laurence Sterne; famous, hence over-analyzed but that's mostly "cock & bull". It's simply fun, wry, about life (& writing), full of anecdotes & digressions. Don't concern yourself with plot, Sterne doesn't. Loved it. #BookSky

Am liebsten an eine Bibliothek oder eine ähnliche öffentlich zugängliche Büchersammlung oder jemanden, der die Bücher für die eigene Lektüre/sein Studium nutzen möchte.
