Lorsqu'on pense à la pollinisation animale (en-dehors des insectes), on pense surtout aux chauve-souris ou à certains marsupiaux & rongeurs.

Ici, on rapporte l'action pollinisatrice d'un... grand carnivore, le loup d'Éthiopie, qui se délecte du nectar du Tison du Diable (Kniphofia foliosa).

Hi,

I'm Anthony Etherin, and I write constraint-based poetry. Like this:

VOLCANO (Palindrome)

A vale,
sirenic.

Its alps
a red net’s atlas;
a bared, nude summit,
pure.

Pools loop, erupt.
I’m mused —

Under a basalt
as tender as plasticine,
rise, lava.

Come Get Your Hands On Some Rare Books!

New followers and fellow hellsite escapees? I'm the curator of rare books and manuscripts at Chicago's #NewberryLibrary, I direct pop-up shenanigans at #MovableBookSociety, and I'm curating an exhibition about shiny prints on fabric (15th c. to now) for 2026!

West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed the last time temperatures were as high as they are now. Would be about 5m of sea level rise.
