Better Than Friday - 231
Good early evening everyone, how do?
Editing the next Patron-Only review as fast as I can here, should be coming tomorrow, and a hell of a book it is...
Black Sun: The Brief Transit and Violent Eclipse of Harry Crosby by Geoffrey Wolff (Paid link).
Spoiler: It is downright outstanding.
Meanwhile...
1. Currently reading: The Complete Poems of Hart Crane (Paid link)
Currently reading this. A favorite of Harold Bloom's.
Relevant to the forthcoming review of 'Black Sun'.
Crosby supported Crane and the two were friends.
Terrific old-school rock & roll.
The Birthday Party did a great cover too.
3. Studs Terkel interviews Geoffrey Wolff about Black Sun
Spectacular, wish I would've listened to this before I shot the review.
Been meaning to read "Working" (Paid link) by Studs.
4. When Johnny Comes Marching Home
The original is so much more ominous than I recall...
There’s a real dark swagger with that accordion, no?
5. Now that's how you tell a Southern joke.
Author James Dickey (who wrote 'Deliverance') crackin' me up.
What game is this?

On the game, this can't be right but I can't unsee what I saw, lol! https://youtu.be/ax7RQKGKIiY?si=Qem2F1KUoYGPdXvv
I'm glad to see you reading some more poetry, man. It's BY FAR the most challenging literary form but once you make it a habit . . . Poetry becomes really key. I'm obsessed with Khalil Gibran's poems lately. Great wisdom literature.
Hart Crane is one of my favorite poets, I'm simply mesmerized every time I read his work, really wild stuff, glad you're enjoying it as well :)
