Trump won't grant her clemency bc he doesn't want her to testify/answer questions that would connect him to Epstein

This is the biggest cover-up in modern history.
The Justice Department is protecting Trump, not the victims of Epstein and his cabal of pedophiles. Meanwhile, the UK is launching criminal investigations!

I’m giving a talk on ‘The Ecology of Eely’ - the interlocking artistic, scientific, public and other contexts that informed and shaped the poem’s development - at the ‘Poetry’s Environments’ conference at the University of Leeds in June.
Somewhere in Tethys’ salty darkness,
in spurts of milt and billowing roe, eels
are birthing their posterity, a spore-storm of eggs
in uncountable centillions, each buoyed
on its micron of oil.

Born in the Garden, died in the Flames,
Cain’s spree-kill, carbon-offset Endtime.
Ninety million years of life, two hundred years of death,
coming down every year to a single fear:
will this be the spring that none return?

Daybreak in the wreck of Dogger. Gulls drifting
over the slowly rising sea. Seals hauled out
on sandbanks, bleached ribs of stranded whales.
Dunlin and knot, swarming the mudflats,
armies of silt-spearing godwit and whaup.

Who raised these chain-link fences along the canalised,

tore out the streamside trees? Who sunk the Pump

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

In the past month 3 transport routes have collapsed - but they aren't roads so don't make national news. All 3 have the same root causes, climate change, and Tory austerity passing responsibility for critical infrastructure on to charities and councils. This will happen more, and people will be hurt

Worth snapping up if there’s only a few left: would also make a good present for anyone who likes walking/the outdoors (or just really good poetry).
