Anne Carson becomes #Iceland's second ever winner of the #Nobel Prize in #Literature. Watch this interview with Anne, recorded just after she heard the news.

i don't know why i'm up against anne carson in the "poet" category of "The Best of Washtenaw County 2026," esp having pub'd only one poem (solicited by a friend), but that doesn't mean you can't vote for me! I'm up for "best professor," too; maybe your ballot means more there.

Glissant, _Poetics of Relation_, from “For Opacity,” trans. Betsy Wing, 192. The section from mid page beginning “The thought of opacity….” — we need this kind of thinking so badly, no matter who we think we are.
this is also how i reply to those who’d sweep aside whole academic subjects bc they are not classical philosophy 🥸
