❤️ We'd like to take a moment to remember the legendary filmmaker Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) today on her 75th birthday.

The vocation is to be embarrassing The vocation is to follow your own embarrassment to beauteous hell - Alice Notley

“Early works are always better than anyone thinks they are: they genuinely tremble, and they loom with futurity.” - Alice Notley, “How To Break Through: An Homage”

THIS FRIDAY 6/13! If you're in NYC, please join us! Dual Book Launch: Tantrums in the Air by Emily Skillings and The Time of the Novel by Lara Mimosa Montes at POWERHOUSE Arena (28 Adams Street, Brooklyn) at 7pm! powerhousearena.com/events/dual-bo…

★ Emily Skillings combines the brutal and acerbic honesty of confessionalism with the self-deprecating humor of the New York School to create an irresistibly original work. Full of vivid imagery and humorous barbs targeting both the self and the wider nonsensical world.

mountain poem 16/31: from “Nine Moons” by Ariana Reines. I have learned so much from Ariana’s poems over the years, & I really admire the way they dare, so carefully, a collectivity, in this poem from “every person” to “things” to “we” to “everything else in the whole wide world”

— Alice Notley
