RIP Gary Indiana. I once lucky enough to interview him for the now defunct White Review. He spoke like he wrote - uproarious, deft, intimate, held nothing back. thewhitereview.org/feature/i…

“We can get to the moon but we can’t get to the inner ear.” Really enjoyed this. It’s a bit like the long goodbye but for hearing loss. It’s about looking for things you don’t know are lost and what you find in their place.

Peter Schjeldahl would have been 82 years old today and I so miss hearing him discourse on Velasquez and his other art passions.

On World Poetry Day, I'm remembering Etel Adnan whose work & friendship shaped me in so many ways. She did a "cahiers" version of one of my poems when I was an undergrad. Her treatment of it was of course far better than this early poem deserved. But what a gift! So much love ❤️

The man of my life, #JohannSebastianBach, is 339 years old today! For you, JSB, I just filmed a little video while waiting for the rice to cook. You’re there watching over me as always. Thank you for the JOY!

I’m so thrilled and honoured to be featured in Ming Pao today - the Hong Kong Chinese language newspaper founded by Jin Yong himself, where Legends of the Condor Heroes began its life.

Gonna be talking about FURY a lot for work, but I want to make a personal appeal for Clyo and her genuinely seismic debut. She’s normally a poet, this is her first novel, and it is unbelievable. Fever-dream deserts and primordial rages and down beneath everything, love
Proud of my old roomie and good friend translator Gigi Chang who has been working on new translations of Jin Yong's epic #legendofthecondorheroes series.

“Sargent and Fashion” at the @Tate tonight. A joyful, engaging show combining two of my favourite things — John Singer Sargent and historical dress. Do not listen to the curséd Guardian article. The show is an utter delight and I can’t wait to go again!

Joan Acocella's writing means more to me than I can say. But the point of criticism is to try and say, and so I did. Thank you, Joan. I'll be reading you forever.
