A lifetime ago, my first book came out, excerpted in @oldnymag When was peak dirt 'n' danger? The debate continues...

Two more Top Tens, from @newrepublic and @slate which published my two favorite reviews. Thank you Lidija Haas and @magiciansbook !

Pondering the right time to go into hibernation.

Support the strike by @strandbooksellers ! Their cause is righteous! They are still working for minimum wage! (Image, by me, from 1979. The strike was averted but the benefit went on anyway. It was the only time I ever played music in public, on drums in the Flags, with @felice_rosser @sleycynthia and @barbaraklar . H/t @howardrodman )

O grand Saint Nicolas! (Le Grand Bazar, Verviers, Belgium, maybe 1957) Imagine the snaking path of this trauma across the decades...

Yes, this unlikely object does exist. Get yours now @tenementpress !

AAAAAAAAHHHH 🥳🥳🥳 “Ella era yo”, de Lucy Sante (@luxxante) en el TOP 10 BEST BOOKS 2024 del @nytimes. TOP 10!!!!! Muy contentos por Lucy, porque es una historia maravillosa y ella una escritora fantástica.

Thrilled to make the Top Ten! (First time since 1991!)

The seasonal Ron Padgett poem. Now more than ever.

From my photobooth to yours, g'night.

Jane, chanteuse réaliste.

This has been my private mantra for the past year. Essentially untranslatable--it's all about the sound--it literally means "May I be eaten by the great crick!" And lo, my body took it literally and bestowed a giant crick in my neck that isn't going away. #macaronic
