Krystal Languell & I had a convo on her book Systems Thinking With Flowers, in which we delved into the poems and covered many walks of life with humor and sensitivity of a type -- no less an authority than Alice Notley described it as "geeky" https://t.co/eSf0ab7tFU

@oh_that_zoe two books I've read that take that on a bit -- The Vanquished, by Robert Gerwarth; & The Ottoman Endgame, by Sean McMeekin -- there's also The Balkans, by Misha Glenny -- none of these are comprehensive on the subject, but worth picking up from a library and checking out

@dhami I also think that Ross Gay poem is great, and I think my father's poem Tamborine Life is ultimately a poem suffused with happiness.

some salsa I forgot about spilled at the bottom of my backpack & now my copy of Francis Ponge's Soap, in translation, has new colors at its lower edges.

Simone White asked a bunch of poets to write about a poem in 100 words and list three books of late or semi-late we especially dug -- hard to just do three - but I put together a little list and wrote 100 words on Claire Meuschke's 2020 book Upend: https://t.co/FAj59OTL1E
