After the final no there comes a yes
And on that yes the future world depends.
No was the night. Yes is this present sun.

Bob Dylan has written loads of funny lyrics but the funniest by far is “I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul” because he manifestly has no soul.

It’s weird how historicized, canonical figures in the arts are all flattened in the popular imagination as having lived in some strange, undifferentiated 19th century. Even the great modernists, who definitionally dwelled within a thoroughly industrialized technological paradigm, are all conceived of as some vague Victorian types who wrote by candlelight.

oddly have the urge to reread the savage detectives lately, like "i need to eat a good donut soon," i don't know why. been ages. unfortunately i told myself i need to read every novel from the 19th century this year first. but now that i'm thinking about it that seems impossible

"Ocean Vuong Traces Bland Writing to Post-Civil War Newspapers"--I'm not sure what to make of that, but the internet is clearly healing.

It's Anne Waldman's birthday today. She's pretty weird and pretty great; a good mix.

@RobertAllenPoet Memorably and very sweetly of him--I long ago asked him if he had a prior email with a poem in it because I lost my file and he replied that lucky for me he saves interesting emails as well as "young man take better care of your work."

@RobertAllenPoet Reginald Shepherd was the first poet I ever wrote a fan letters to and seven years of correspondence ensued.
