Today is the day on which Ray Bradbury's “There Will Come Soft Rains” (pub'd 1950) takes place. It’s a short elegaic story about a smart home slowly dying after its owners are wiped out in a nuclear extinction event. Re-reading it now, I’m feeling softly sucker-punched by what it has to offer us.

Since July's #StoryADay was a success, I've decided to make August #PoemADay! Join me in the challenge to read a poem each day in August! I've made a point to read more poetry this year, but it's been mainly literary collections & anthos. I hope to read more spec poetry & magazines this month.

ANIARA (2018), a stunning Swedish-Danish adaptation of Harry Martinson's epic poem of the same name (1956), about a starship adrift, becoming crucible & microcosm for humanity's own journey through the universe, & our existential despair at our apparent solitude in it--the silence of 'god'.

Still from Aniara, showing a white brunette woman sitting on the floor of what appears to be a yellow void.

Are there any other poems that have been made into films? Could Nolan have a crack at "This is just to say"?

Increasingly, Soylent Green serves as one of the best metaphors for AI -- it's taking all that we are, as people, chumming it up, and feeding the slurry back to us. We're told that we need it, it's nutritious, it'll save the world, even as it damns it and us.

here's another throwback from 2016 a private poster commission inspired by Moby Dick honestly still really love this one, both the concept and execution i worked on pre-inked scratchboard for this one (so fully black) instead of the usual white claybord that i ink myself 30x40cm

a black and white scratchboard illustration inspired by Mody Dick. It depicts a giant white whale about to collide with a whaling ship. The scene is viewed from a bird's eye view, high above the scene. Seagulls are seen orbiting around the scene. The ship and the whale create waves in the water that reinforce the tension between them.
