This Week's Writing 10/21/23
Added 2023-10-21 12:00:05 +0000 UTCThe blog is coming to the magnificent end of its first year (much like the magnificent tail of the kitty.) I’ve almost got 5000 subscribers; hoping to hit that before the 30th, which will be the official anniversary (more or less.) Consider sharing if you’d like to help me reach this arbitrary goal!
In the meantime, here’s what I wrote this week.
If you read one piece by me this week read
The 1973 war and the 1973 peace. (EIH)
Politics
The GOP won’t condemn Menendez because they like corruption. (Public Notice)
Israel and American Jewish identity. (EIH)
Cultural Criticism
Killers of the Flower Moon shows Scorsese struggle to tell a story that isn’t about white guys. (CNN)
Langston Hughes, of his time. (EIH)
The 25 best albums of the 1950s. (EIH)
Poetry
Got a bunch of poems in above/ground press’ awesome lit mag. (Touch the Donkey)
A poem about pendulums, thursdays, and quilts. (Synchronized Chaos)
Uncharacteristically cheery poem about poetry. (Five Fleas)
My Poetry Keyboard
My keyboard is a lizard that bites.
My keyboard caught the train.
My keyboard makes jam from asparagus.
My keyboard is rain, is rain, is rain.
Little sleepless poem. (Five Fleas)
Insomnia.
I get so much done.
Until I don’t.
