Day 4: Žižek has not responded, but we hear he's writing a 400 page book about why Issue 3 wasn't sufficiently Lacanian. Stay tuned for more sniffles.

gothamguillotine.com/2026/10… I have a poem called after the shock out here. Please take a look at it. This my Corsica poem. I feel fraudulent for borrowing some tone from Louise Glück. Part of the trouble with listening to other poets during creative phases. @gotguillotine
