Very sad — the longtime voice of the Salt Lake Bees, Steve Klauke, was killed by a car while walking.

He was kind & endlessly talented. His bobblehead’s on my work desk. My heart goes out to his nearest & dearest.

I wish SLC & Utah were more pedestrian- & bike-friendly. Be careful.

Happy 87th birthday, Thomas Ruggles Pynchon! Reading ‘VINELAND’ at a South Salt Lake City school-turned-library, Granite Library, for 2024’s Pynchon in Public Day 📯📚 #PynchonInPublic

The Joe Hill Historical Marker unveiling is tomorrow (Saturday 11/18) at 9am at Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. It’s a long time coming. The park’s road is closed for a race, so park at Highland High and walk down from there. #JoeHill #DontMournOrganize #IWW ✊🏼 🚩🐈‍⬛

Michael Brodsky’s INVIDICUM arrived via Tough Poets Press. His writing is recognizably his alone — it hits like a cold shower (in a good way). Once it clicks, the rhythms of his snarled sentences guide you how to read successive sentences, allowing a reader to relearn the familiar.

In Bergen, Norway, July 2018 I asked a bookseller for a local author in translation, she said, “Fosse! He’s ours! Just down the coast from here.”

Jon Fosse’s “Trilogy” is a love story set in Bergen and I recommend it. 🇳🇴📚🥇

I was at the glorious game in Oakland (with Red Sox fans) in which Shannon Stewart of the A’s broke up Curt Schilling’s no-hitter with two outs in the 9th. ⚾️

Sometimes even an economically printing outfit like Dover can knock it out of the park with book design. Absolutely adore this Charles Fort omnibus, using an Albertus typeface (my favorite) widely known as the font used on many of the City Lights Pocket Poets series. 📚
