Solidarity Against Subtlety: poems of insistence, installment 1

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 18:07:28 GMT

As we continue to critique poetry's entanglement with empire, with power, and with ferocious capital, it is imperative to find poetry unafraid of telling, not showing-- poetry which begins to forge transnational possibilities for solidarity, support, and exchange. From Chile to Palestine, Chicago to Beirut, the poets in this episode name and attack empire in its many forms and its complex webs. People of revolts know how to use the language of revolts; today my angry Palestinian ass stands with Chile and with those rising up against neoliberalism and all its claws. Yalla. Throw a stone today.

Love,

"Nursery Rhymes for Children of Darkness" - Gladys Oaks (read by @TomSnarsky)

Thu, 24 Oct 2019 19:54:09 GMT

a message from Tom! // in the spirit of Halloween, here's one of my favorite books I've ever recorded, called Nursery Rhymes for Children of Darkness, written by Gladys Oaks way back in I think 1928. I know almost nothing about her except that she gained some small notoriety for a hot af poem called "Climax" (in the book!) and that she also published in The Liberator; this book is fun in no small part because it's a hella subversive rewriting of a bunch of biblical touchstones (the first poem is about Judas and there's a big one about Mary Magdalene) through what basically seem like Satanist fairytale poems. hope you enjoy it! :) //
