Hi there! I don’t know what text/mangled cut-up of that poem you are reading, but it’s in long line quatrains ( four line stanzas). Here is a photo of it from RUNAWAY, the book of mine it appears in. 🙏

This is truly one of the most crucial books of our era. Staggering & revelatory. It weaves the parts of our broken world together….Thank you Pankaj Mishra and @penguinpress.bsky.social

Do not miss this extraordinary book. It is searing, brave & erudite in its urgent call to conscience. So very urgent….Also it’s lucid & powerfully written. Thank you (as always) @penguinpress.bsky.social & @kiarabarrow.bsky.social as well as of course @pankajmishra.bsky.social

We know all this already, but there’s a thread on X with what perports to be this letter from an X employee ( presumably now no longer employed there)…. I have no way to verify this. It’s just bracing if it’s authentic—even if we know we know this.

Mr Bezos & Mrs Bezos’ bra right behind President-elects’s podium. The whole show. So classy.

Best book I’ve read in decades… I don’t actually know when I’ve read something this exciting & moving & brilliantly comprehensive & utterly mind altering. As for the prose—it’s overwhelmingly beautiful & haunting. Thank you @wwnorton.bsky.social @wwnortonuk.bsky.social @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social 🙏

Ann Telnaes, Pulitzer-winning cartoonist for the Washington Post since 2008, quit the paper this week after her editor killed her cartoon depicting WaPo owner Jeff Bezos and other craven billionaires debasing themselves before Donald J. Trump.
