What i learned this weekend

New Jersey makes poems.

I read The Sunlight Dialogues and swore off lengthy realistic fiction forever.

Read The Fall in a daze & rekindled a cautious love for Camus.

Got halfway through The Prince and realized there’s a reason they just tell you about it in history class instead of making you read it.

The best adjective for Paul Celan’s poetry is “spiny” [Pierre Joris]. I’m re-reading his selected poems but by re-reading I mean actually reading. They’re like closely-knit stellar explosions.
