Hiatus

@antoinewilson That is AMAZING

@ovillalon The photographer apologized profusely. Then Ferlinghetti popped his jacket lapel collar and began looking serious and artistic into the distance :-)

@ovillalon I never met him but I did tag along to a photo shoot once. The photographer tried to position Ferlinghetti a little to the left (he was sitting on a book table upstairs at City Lights) and Ferlinghetti shouted, “I told them I WOULD NOT POSE.”

I know Lawrence Ferlinghetti is no longer with us, but he'll live on. The many of us who call City Lights a second home, the many of us who take heart in his humane vision of the world, and the many poets & writers who keep doing the work in spite of everything will assure that.

@xiankiefer Absolutely agreed. Except for Blood Meridian. But I like Suttree much better.

Harsh writing advice, Johnny Cash edition: 1. You need to stop singing so high; and 2. You have to change your name—no one will buy music from someone named Roy Orbison.

@victorlavalle I’m writing this on an index card to tape to my screen!

A book is not like real life, no matter how boring you make it.

Good idea but not sure how drive through testing will work. washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…

I’m claiming prior art on this one, Microsoft. cnn.com/2021/01/27/tec…
