Travis Nichols Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Like, yes to the many good poetry books on this one, but the decade has not been kind to the book-length Pinker-take "THE BETTER ANGELS OF OUR NATURE: Why Violence Has Declined"

Opened Joan Didion’s “Political Fictions” at random. Her clarity and insight into the core of whatever she was looking at — presidential campaigns or The Doors or suburban landscaping or whatever — will be sorely missed. Can we understand ourselves without her? https://t.co/cMxpN0DCR2

@Casey_CAC I'm not really a Cormac McCarthy person, but I do think about this line from Blood Meridian from time to time wrt sadists with power like DeSantis, who I'm sure believe it: “Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak."

@Monicafam I believe in this Troubled Sleep dimension I am looking at Maggie Nelson's Women, the New York School, and Other True Abstractions in which case yep that's me.
