Jesus Christ

Interesting, I don’t know it. But I am now interested because although I vaguely remember reference to bi modernists it’s always peripheral (and isn’t that interesting in itself)

Hmmm. I don’t know, but if it were me I would look at what has been written about H.D. and then possibly think about bi-erasure. Eg No Modernism Without Lesbians? Which I haven’t read yet, disclaimer, it is on my shelf.

Excellent name for a cat!

I had a bit too much wine last night and tried to write a poem about AI. Needless to say not much looks coherent today but I liked:

You wanted to climb this mountain
But then
They told you the mountain had been climbed
And you, you were only allowed to look up at it
From the base.

The modernist magazines book makes for a good cushion, I’ve always thought so

I came in here to say this 😂

Carbonel!! I loved that book.

That’s interesting. He attended Gandhi when he was ill in London so perhaps a sense of indebtedness or personal fondness!

Yes indeed, Thomas Allinson makes a strong appearance. There’s a tenuous connection I intend to draw between Thom > his son Adrian > Adrian’s friend Dorothy Richardson > Richardson’s crank views on brown bread & consumption

I think the tone of the original post intends to refer to mass-produced sliced white though, not homebaked or bakery yeasted bread! The discourse today is amusing as I have a chapter to write about bread for my Modernist Wellness book …!

Also, if you are Reading-adjacent on 23rd September, I'll be talking about the edition at @buxiduan.bsky.social & @lawrentian.bsky.social's symposium on modernist editing alongside @greenbowlerhat.bsky.social, @wvmierlo.bsky.social and many more

It’s mad, innit. My lower back pain is insane if I stand for a few hours, but I can walk for 2x or 3x that and be fine.
