Are there plans to re-publish Alasdair Gray’s poetry? I’ve succeeded in finding a used copy of Old Negatives, but I’d love to have the Sixteen Occasional Poems, Collected Verse, and Minced with Oatmeal.

ice cubes made in an OXO tray manufactured in China and frozen in a Frigidaire freezer manufactured in Mexico. Served in glasses of unknown provenance. Incidentally, the America in Isolation mindset makes for a very limited, very impoverished life, on several levels.

A big eyeopener for me was a trip to Italy in my 20s in which I was so excited to use my textbook Italian—until shopkeepers had to call for their children to help me because middle-aged people didn’t speak “Italian”—they spoke Marchegiano, Napolitano, etc. Homogeneity immediately became debunked.

Heck, when I was 5-ish I had an illustrated Disney storybook of Greek myths, complete with Minnie Mouse telling us why Athena is her favorite goddess. I mean, this was a *mass-market* book that assumed the myths were just something in parents’ and kids’ vocabularies!
