Rest in peace the wonderful Jimmy Cliff 🤍

Rest in peace the wonderful Jimmy Cliff 🤍
So sad to see that reggae icon Jimmy Cliff has died. I've collected reggae and dub vinyl since I was 11.
So many times over past 30 years I stopped and thought "I'm sure Jimmy's dead" only to find out he was fine.
Now it's happened. And it hurts. He was a light.

Stoked to be published by @ccohanlon.bsky.social in Burning House Press this month, writing about my trial monitoring years in Turkey. @thearsonista.bsky.social
"By now you will be an international advocate. You will monitor 200 trials, hoping it will all get better. But fascism doesn’t need much sleep. When it’s too late you’ll see that you were not creative enough. You weren’t armed to the porcelained teeth or in league with deep state."

It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.
