summer
by uzwi
Summer makes me increasingly strange, a condition I’m increasingly able to own & deploy. Some of this feeling of ownership stems from age, where “age” is sensed as a release, a freeing from restraints both external and internal. Some of it might be that I finally accepted summer is for sitting in the sunshine & not caring whether you’re illuminated–switched on–or not. Some of it might be to do with this recent change of circumtances, which I can hardly avoid acknowledging. Anyway, I like the heat & feel as full of an inexplicable optimism as Kerans on his doomed and fulfilling journey south. At last!
I’m reading Wish I Was Here—-it’s familiar & deeply spooky
I keep wanting to have conversations about bits but not sure if I know anyone else reading it…
As a painter I am constantly confronted with trying to actualize the indescribable images that move around in my brain
Talk about nailing down a ghost
I found it kind of hilarious & human that you went to rock not water
I love water but understand the breathing issue and I went to circus which is mostly air
Anyways—thank you for the book, your wonky anti-book
Dear John I run a litterary podcast in Sweden cakked “Udda ting” and I would love to interview you about your work. Would you consider an audio interview through your medium of choice ( zoom, Skype, messenger voice or other).
Best wishes.

Wonky indeed…
