This is really great, with many quotable portions, but I will just highlight "making the rejection of democracy sound like futurism" is such an elegant way to describe the what's going on.
Ali Rıza Taşkale@alirizataskale.bsky.social · last mo.SpaceX's $1.75T IPO ties Musk's pay to building a million-person Mars colony. A sci-fi scenario has been encoded into an SEC filing. My new piece on materialized science fiction and the remaking of empire is now live.
I do enjoy how fast the "we publish edgy work that pushes social and political boundaries we're so fucked up" Hobartian mission statement of the post-woke online litmag wave has already become trite 'n' liberalized

Take my money/idea: Someone should write the screenplay and cast Adam Driver as John Donne in an A24 style Shakespeare in Love type situation
I had the opportunity to talk out (one might call it mouthing off, but demurely) my thoughts about my book and the literature of the U.S. South, and to open up (a little) about my poetics, writing process, and politics in response to these generous questions from Shane Chase of The Brooklyn Review.

Book maybe didn't make any lists, but I have truly been touched by the handful of kind emails about it this fall...a channel of poetry that heretofore I'd only read about, moving to move into
Before I “meet a voice” I personally prefer to “meet the mind” but little did I know how out of vogue this is
This is great. Maybe my favorite critical essay yet about C D Wright, in a cluster of good ones! @jenssread.bsky.social @post45.bsky.social post45.org/2025/11/cd-w...
Relative Poetics: On C.D. Wright, Appropriation, and the Decentered Self – Post45

C.D. Wright: University Poet – Post45

Introducing “C.D. Wright in Context” – Post45
The question I had when I began the process for this cluster, “C.D. Wright in Context,” at its heart had to do with influence, but not exclusively in the way that the poet herself is famous for it. I ...
