#literary — Public Fediverse posts

A somber literary scene unfolds as a young poet gazes out at a river view, their thoughts consumed by creative turmoil and introspection.

tonight wake

tonight   wake
when late winter returns
home   your inmate

in your nightgown
with your candle kneel
beside your bed and shiver

after you go to  bed
after you go to sleep

when the horizon's become a purse
that today's early summer's
returned her sun to

when the warm breath
of today's spring's been
expelled from your chamber into the

late winter's dawn at dusk

the cold air seeps   into your cell through
gaps between the casing and the shutter
between the door frame and the door

through cracks 
in mortar and masonry he oozes
in   inhaled

the late winter returns
home   not to warm you out of your bed
but to freeze you in

the long tides of our shadows have receded

the long tides of our shadows have receded

this morning   early as we walked
away from the beginning of the sunrise

these shadows washed   far they flowed deep
into collegienstrasse toward the market

they flooded   away before us
four times the length of our height   then three

darkened the cobblestones   
like wednesday’s rain did

like the shadows of water darken 
the pebbles in the flaming* stream 

flooded into the square   as we arrived there

all the sunrise long our shadows receded

now it’s midday
the stones in the street have returned to the colour of dry

all that’s left of our shadows
are the puddles in which we stand

by collegienstrasse   return
toward the sky the morning sun’s abandoned

return to my chamber   and fetch my pail for water

step out of your own shade   
into the shadow of your foot

The Fall and Rise of Ronni Fai...

Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

"Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

🤡 Ah, the pinnacle of #literary masterpieces: a deep dive into the world of... #slime. 🧽 The publisher #Granta must have consulted a top-tier focus group of 5-year-olds to decide on this gripping subject matter. 📚 Because who wouldn't want to read about gooey blobs instead of, you know, something interesting? 🙄

Aton Petrov: Time Travel May Be Possible Without Major #Paradoxes

Short 12-min #video on the #cultural & #literary #history and #theoretical #physics of Time Travel. Thinking on the subject rapidly generates paradoxes of #mathematical #logic, which #Petrov says cannot exist.

What is a web literary pill?

A #literary #pill is a #metaphor for something that has the potential to #enlighten, #inspire, or #heal through #literature. It is often used to describe the transformative power of literature, and the idea that reading can be a form of #healing.
