I love this story, 'Clay' by Caleb Crain, a superb example of how strange, sudden violence behaves in a piece of fiction. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... #shortfiction #stories #shortstories

In my recent foray into the cognitive poetics of sound, rhythm, rhyme, poems that are themselves about listening or the ear are of renewed interest. Here's 'The Art of Listening' by Veronica Aaronson – beautiful! www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/the-art... #poetry #writing #sound
Happy to know you're listening! There's a lot more to come, many surprises and new characters. If you're inspired to make artwork based on the story – please do!

'Train' Dreams by Denis Johnson – sublime in @parisreview.bsky.social, here: www.theparisreview.org/fiction/396/...
Yeah, the book is def timeless; hopefully not the tyranny of life’s “Grey Gentlemen”.
