falling out of sunset

A brief field report, before I'm off to a breakfast of cheesy biscuits at Blue Gardenia with my friend Scott (who is my proxy until Nick Jaina returns safely to port). Some things of note. I was recently awarded a writer's retreat in the coastal wilderness! I will be spending an extended weekend canvassing 45 acres of forest and meadow, writing and working with materials on land. I will post what comes into view.

New favorite local music: William Holley. Ben and I went to see him at The Know on Friday. His music is truly wonderful, and I encourage you all to pester him for more songs. Resonances of Arthur Russell, but altogether new. Good to sway to.

I have spent the weekend in a lazy hobble from bed to cafes, to dinner parties (including a warehouse-warming Italian feast at Pinball last night...the night ended with bowls full of spumoni and gourmet donuts and almond cookies, and bloated bellies). A dreamy barista has soaked up most of my weekend like a sponge, but today I have UDLE business to attend to, a forest to hike, elk tacos and sauna time with Theda, and a drink date with my friend Leif. Uff-da.

Oh, and I might be revisiting/rewriting/publishing my Reed thesis. At first, the idea of it sounded positively dreadful, but returning to Jack Spicer's work might be rewarding, an Orphic return in its own right. I'm also finishing up my feature article on Corey Arnold, to be published in this summer's issue of Bear Deluxe Magazine.

As of this morning, I am in love with espresso, straight from a tiny cup and a miniature spoon.

A more bulbous post, soon.
