Learn a poem by heart
Like the intelligent and sophisticated socialist who finds his way to piano and provides the perfect, perhaps jazz, soundtrack to gathering self-conscious intellectuals, you can also be the most culture of the party-and you don’t even need to pretend to learn a new instrument of your age! All you have to do is remember a poem and jump from conversation to a conversation in search of opening to Elocute. As it happens, The New York Times I have recently completed a one -week exercise designed to help you learn a poem by heart. With his “We were very tired, we were very fun,” refrain, “Recuerdo” by St. Vincent Milay was the perfect poem to recite at the end of a party when the conversation was sleeping and people watch the door. Just close your eyes, drag into the character of the exhausted artist in a salon, and deliver your freshly memorable poem to the tired ones. You will clear the room in no time. Jokes aside, I found the exercise delightful and mentally nourishing. I had no reason to remember a poem because I was in school and it turned out that this practice was also a good way to lower your mind from other problems, if even for a moment. I could do more than in my own time, as I am currently reading The Magpie at night: the full poems of Li Kingja (1084-1151), translated by Wendy Chen, who is full of short, bright, meditative poems.
Do we really need more male novelists?
Ella Kremore asks this question in GuardianS You may have heard words about Conduit Books, a new Indi press that will initially focus on the publication of literary fiction and a memoir by male authors. Jude Cook, the novelist and critic behind the conductors, goes in this direction because he sees the male authors as “often neglected” in the publishing landscape that corrected years of male domination and awareness of toxic masculinity in literature. What the cream achieves in this piece is to note that the data behind the posting percentages and the success of the male novelists do not offer a clear enough picture to make my eyes be the size of a saucer with a real problem. I broke away from the article with the same conviction I had: men do not read as many novels as women. I don’t want to re -review men who don’t read a discourse earlier this year, but you can explore it in VoxS In addition, in a blog publication from the National Dara on the Arts, Sunil Iyengar reported these numbers, “In 2017 Then to 27.7 percent in 2022. ” I recommend reading the whole article on Guardian If only for the quotes for the selection of authors and professionals to issue.

Let’s have fun in a nostalgic lover
I love a literary lamp, especially when he is referring to an old beloved of mine (and so many) young readership years. I also love Mcsweeney’s Which is partly an endless font of satire that can make me lol and lol when I need the most. Today, we have chosen our own adventure satire – you know that those books with which you have arranged the quality of your instincts, but were ultimately used to give our latent nihilism by examining the highest possible results. You can now miss the moral dilemmas and existential crises and deal with nihilism with Justin Bendel, who constitutes endings that, while missing from real books, correspond to the level of terrible children, are confronted with these books, starting with the grief with the aroma of Artax. These endings are not for the children, but they are absolutely for me. Here is your dose of clowns, oxen and dysentery.
