I felt overdue to write a review, and this chapbook by Christopher Nelson, part of the latest New Michigan Press / @eldiagram.bsky.social series, kept me thinking and talking. You might like it, too. wp.me/p4PD79-2qI
Review: ‘Fugitive’ by Christopher Nelson
The lasting impression Fugitive makes, for me, is of a voice not only self-aware, but also savvy

Good idea from #BeckyLTuch #litmagnews regarding editorial statement of a clear & formal retraction policy: "We seek to publish a range of views, some of which may at times be controversial. We will never remove work from publication. We welcome rejoinders and thoughtful response essays." 💡

This @kjmoulton.bsky.social essay = stately procession through fantastic dance joy of #hotinherre by Nelly. "He proved that if you mix a little bit of (ah, ah) unabashed particularity with a little bit of (ah, ah) joyful dexterity, you can pack the dancefloor ..." <3 Still time to vote!

This Robert Puccinelli essay on OutKast's work is a stroll filled with landmarks of beauty + intellect. RP is an amiable eyewitness to HEY YA's debut. Spun up with Kate Bush, Buzzcocks, Knuckles, and a spyglass full of yes. A joy to read. Great song pairing by the #marchdanceness committee!

Happy March Xness, everyone! I have an essay on LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem & apocalypse nostalgia. I would really appreciate your vote--the longer I stay in the game, the more eyes I get on the essay. Everybody just have a good time.

Perma-fave xness essayist, Raquel Gutiérrez, burns it down for Hercules & Love Affair: "You were competing with graduates from the Ivy League and loving language wasn’t enough to power you through anymore. Foucault. Derrida. Weber. Butler. This shit was hard, man. You thought you could handle hard."

I'm finding this site to be like going shopping for a few essentials at a new supermarket and I, well, I hate the superlong user names. I'm a big baby whatever. I'll keep trying not to be. Good luck with that, Anne.

I loved Irene Cooper's #Danceness dive into Jewel's "genre flailing" on "Intuition" and yet stacked against it is the iconic (do not say this lightly!) Christopher Walken dance video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." Whew: marchxness.com/1strd-fatboy...

Weapon of Choice NARROWLY beats Intuition for me but my kid went with Jewel, possibly because I lectured her about Christopher Walken's filmography until she begged me to shut up.
