Big ups to a Mediocre Chicago Bulls Team Full Of Guys I Like as they take on the Weren\u2019t You Guys Fun Two Years Ago? Miami Heat in the play-in tournament tonight. DeMar DeRozan is the coolest Bull since Joakim Noah. Today\u2019s Friday Links is dedicated to <a href=\"https:\/\/solipse.bandcamp.com\/album\/live-works-2\">The Villain Joel<\/a>, the biggest DeMar DeRozan fan I know. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What I\u2019ve Been Reading This Week<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am still rolling through my self-imposed 30\/30 challenge for National Poetry Month! This week\u2019s column was supposed to be a reflection on how reading so much weird art so frequently and rapidly has affected my thinking about art and creative process, but, y\u2019know. <a href=\"https:\/\/shipwreckedsailor.substack.com\/p\/in-praise-of-taxes\">Taxes.<\/a> Suffice to say I am the good kind of overwhelmed, and really enjoying everything I\u2019m reading.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/3830642f-ac44-4f13-b149-b943ee9959e3_4032x3024.jpeg\"\/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><p><em><strong>The Wine-Dark Sea<\/strong><\/em><strong> by Mathias Svalina: <\/strong>did you know the ancient Greeks didn\u2019t have a word for blue? Or whatever the technical linguistic way to say it is? What would we be without art. Miserable, that\u2019s a certainty. Even at one point, society could come up with Helen of Troy and Patroclus and Odysseus and the Cyclops but not a word for what the water was. <\/p><\/li><li><p><em><strong>Selenography<\/strong><\/em><strong> by Joshua Marie Wilkinson: <\/strong>practically a sacred text to me, reading this book is sipping a choice potion in a warm room after a haunted day. Beautifully put together by Sidebrow. <\/p><\/li><li><p><em><strong>Swamp Isthmus <\/strong><\/em><strong>by Joshua Marie Wilkinson: <\/strong>this pentalogy of poetry collections deepens. Something akin to characters begin watch you suspiciously as you walk past their lawns at sunset. This book is great to read out loud. <\/p><\/li><li><p><em><strong>Lunch Poems <\/strong><\/em><strong>by Frank O\u2019Hara: <\/strong>the book that features the poem that made me love poetry. Lotta bangers in here, but I\u2019ve only read it cover-to-cover once or twice. Should read more dead poets\u2019 single collections. <\/p><\/li><li><p><em><strong>frank: sonnets<\/strong><\/em><strong> by Diane Seuss: <\/strong>is the only interesting way to write memoir with minutiae? Talk about a book that absolutely breezes but constantly demands you stop and read closer. This book felt profoundly American in a way people who usually proclaim things as \u201cAmerican\u201d probably wouldn\u2019t think about.<\/p><\/li><li><p><em><strong>Dear God, Dear Bones, Dear Yellow<\/strong><\/em><strong> by Noor Hindi: <\/strong>for as much as Bob and I talk about \u201cFuck Your Lecture On Craft, My People Are Dying,\u201d on The Line Break, this is my first time reading this book cover-to-cover and goddamn, it did not disappoint. I\u2019m overwhelmed by the range in this book: the vulnerability and rage, the tenderness and righteous anger, the magic interwoven into the smallest sentences. It all exists seamlessly together on the page. It\u2019s wonderful writing. I had forgotten this book was Haymarket and man, what an offering from them. <\/p><\/li><li><p><em><strong>Build Yourself A Boat <\/strong><\/em><strong>by Camonghne Felix: <\/strong>layers compound on this collection, plank by plank building a portrait that again left me feeling like this book was profoundly American in a way people usually proclaim things as \u201cAmerican\u201d probably wouldn\u2019t think about. The jaw-dropping conclusion to this book. The way it makes you reconsider the rest of the book, the way it feels horrifying and casual at the same time. \u201cTonya Harding\u2019s Fur Coats\u201d took my breath away. <\/p><\/li><\/ul><p
