  1. In Dark Sounds, I join poet and philosopher Jan Zwicky alongside two of Canada's top flamenco artists, dancer Denise Yeo and guitarist Gareth Owen.

    Our focus is grief, death, and the climate crisis. Endings, disappearances, cultural cataclysm. Little deaths that pile up while, all around us, the smoke steeples the horizon.

    More to come in the thread on why this means a lot to me.

  4. “oh god it’s wonderful
    to get out of bed
    and drink too much coffee
    and smoke too many cigarettes
    and love you so much”

  7. Shu Cai (Chen Shucai) 树才, b. 1965

    慢慢的,一切都滑向另一切……
    一个人也必将让位给另一个……

    慢慢的。一切的
    一切:空空如也!

    Slowly, everything slips toward another everything . . .
    and everyone will surely make way for another.

    Slowly. The everything
    of everything: is nothingness!

    [From The Everything of Everything]

    Begins:

    Slowly. The everything of everything
    in the drawers of memory

    will find its own place.
    After lightning ends, the sky is empty again.
