One of Mahmoud Darwish's many great poems. "The Penultimate Speech of the Native American before the White Man" (Written in 1992, the quincentenary of 1492).

"There are dead who sleep in rooms you will build
There are dead who visit their past in the place you demolish
There are dead who cross over bridges you will build
There are dead who light the night of butterflies
. . .
So leave, O guests of this place,
Empty seats for the hosts. . . to read
The conditions for peace with the dead!"

Anne Carson's experimentation and permission to render grief as fantastical, which is how I experienced it, within the genre of non-fiction was *essential* to my book SPAWNING SEASON.
SPAWNING SEASON was just shortlisted for the National Book Award.

Man, I *wish* I went to a school that assigned Autobiography of Red. The person who recommended that book to me was AS Byatt in this email from 2014, a true working artist whose reaction to being banished from academia was to think, โOh good, now I can write.โ
When I was Anneโs student & when I visited her in Iceland after, every single person I told & geeked out about it to (rare for me) was not in academia but a working artist & knew who she was. Painters. Musicians. Actors. Etc.
Do something you enjoy today. Getting mad that a genius won a Nobel is like getting mad it snows in December. Thatโs life.

The main reason why most people don't succeed at anything is because they're not prepared to be bad at something for a long time.

Last night at Gyeongbokgung palace, for the Royal Hanbok Banquet ๐ฐ๐ท
Only 400 tickets for foreigners, so I know how lucky I was to have been able to go to this beautiful event. It felt like walking through a historical k-drama, absolute dream โค๏ธ

To demonstrate their commitment to the rights holders and have a kind of "proof of concept" of what Park Kyong-ni's work would look like in English translation, they commissioned Age of Doubt, a gorgeous collection of Park's stories. honfordstar.com/products/theโฆ
