This sounds such a great project!
You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.
We are open to submissions for a new anthology of writing inspired by the films of Laurel and Hardy. The anthology is entitled Pardon Me, My Ear is Full of Milk and will be edited by Aaron Kent (The Working Classic) and Simon Barraclough (Divine Hours).

![ADVICE TO A YOUNG POET
"There is only one way. Go within yourself. Explore what is calling you to write; check whether it is rooted in the deepest part of your heart, admit to yourself whether you would have to die if you were not able to write. This above all: ask yourself in the quietest hour of your night: must I write? Dig deep within yourself for the truth. And if the answer is yes, if you can reply clearly with a simple I must then build your life upon this [...] To feel that one could live without writing is enough of a sign that one should not.'
Rilke (Letter to a Young Poet)
'When a great and unique soul speaks the small ones must remain silent'
Franz Kappus (Rilke's 'Young Poet')
Dear Small Ones,
Be careful with Rilke. In the quietest hour of your night, in particular, don't listen to him. And don't join the Austrian army just yet. Try and get back to sleep and don't drink so much black tea tomorrow. When the day finally breaks, listen instead to James Broughton (or was it Ted Shawn or the Grateful Dead - does it really matter?): 'When in doubt, twirl'.
Then to Gaston Bachelard:
'What is the source of our first suffering? It lies in the fact that we hesitated to speak... It was born in the moments when we accumulated silent things within us. The brook will nonetheless teach you to speak, in spite of sorrows and memories, it will teach you euphoria through euphuism, energy through the poem. It will repeat incessantly some beautiful, round word which rolls over rocks.

🌰Equal parts commonplace book, instruction manual and cheerful vandalism, Fourth & Walnut by Jeremy Over (jeremyover.bsky.social) is absurdly joyful, gathering words from a range of writers and artists, erasing some and fooling with others.
