Take some well-deserved time off with Glenn Gould & his seatless old chair performing - & humming along to - JS Bach's Goldberg Variations in 1981. This performance lasted 13 minutes longer than his 1955 recording, & IMO those 13 minutes make all the difference.

Nothing but repeats on TV this evening, folks, so how about a game of dominoes instead? Confession: I'd never heard of artist Horace Pippin (1888 to 1946) till about 10 minutes ago but I love his work already.

Heronkind never fear being overlooked in the Big Landscape. They know they'll always catch the Heroneer's eye 💙

A young Black Crowned Night Heron learning its Heroning trade amongst the barnacles?

And an adult showing that beneath the black there's hidden hues of blue. 🖤💙
Different life stages of a heron. The kayak guide on the Cutipai river said the bird in the first two photos is a juvenile huairavo (crowned night heron). I believe the 3rd photo is an adult of the same species, seen on Isla Mancera. #birds #photography #Chile

'Here is a poet who speaks to and through troubled history, emerging unscathed from the many circles of hell, keeping intact a propulsive heart that beats to Caribbean rhythms.'

Chris's Two-Way Poetry Podcast is a brilliant series. Poets including Fay Musselwhite, Rob Hindle, Pete Green and others illuminating their own practice and those of others. This episode (Pt 1 of 2), with Brian Lewis & Chris discussing the links between their own work, is amazing.
