January 21, 2017. We’ve fought before. And we’ll do it again. These moments of joy in resistance as talisman. #antifascismintheusa #antifascistpoetics

I finished Poetry After Barbarism yesterday and sent it on its way. For real—the years of image gathering and permissions and citations too as well as distillation of a dozen years of arguments about how fascism inheres in language and how some

Taking a break from finishing off finishing the finished manuscript about the non-finishment of fascism (with its various rights and permissions to pay the world over, as if blood sweat and tears weren’t enough for this stone) for an alternativ
