Great curation at the #Hokusai show @mfaboston These angled walls made for great vistas and pacing, esp with @Jumpei_Mitsui thrilling visitors and making 2d into 3d halfway through. Can’t wait for a return visit.

Here is a truly wonderful recording of Julian Sands passionately reciting the poetry of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley at the Keats-Shelley House in Rome. How I wish I could have been there for this reading @Keats_Shelley youtube.com/watch?v=7BRzMTj3…

I remember how Charles Simic’s students at UNH would sometimes recoil when he wrote “No” on the draft of a poem (or, worse, “it’s phony”) but then later would say “he was right—it WAS phony.” Great poet and unforgettable teacher.

Really good show by @lesliemendelson in Keene last night. I’m glad I don’t have to decide whether I like her guitar or piano songs better—she’s so great on both. @ColonialKeene

“Translators frequently quadruple as literary agents, scouts, and tastemakers. So do the editors who make a point of working with them.” @lilyjmeyer on the translators and editors that bring international literature to English-language readers. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Wendell Berry for your Monday:
Our Real Work by Wendell Berry It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Instead of responding to the misinformed deniers, etc. about human-induced climate change, I am posting this. Feel free to retweet. Education will set you free from those poor ideas. gml.noaa.gov/aggi/aggi.html #climatechange

I understand why libraries went to digital systems, but I sure miss stamps with due dates. Look at how many Provincetown readers checked out Mark Doty’s My Alexandria soon after its release. Beautiful.

The uncanny confluence of Putin's invasion and the IPCC report is a stark reminder: fossil fuel powers the worst crises facing our planet. If we use this moment to get off oil and gas, we have a fighting chance as a planet.

With Biden's climate push sputtering in the Senate, Germany's effort to exit coal looms large: a major manufacturing power trying to show you can make the shift without populist backlash. Here, for @propublica and @NewYorker, is my story on how it's going. propublica.org/article/what-…
What Germany’s Effort to Leave Coal Behind Can Teach the U.S.

What Germany’s Effort to Leave Coal Behind Can Teach the U.S.

The German government agreed to a commitment to transition away from the fossil fuel for environmental reasons. But the obstacles are steep.
