October’s Waning Daylight

2020-10-26 John Winkelman

The slide from October to November continues, accompanied by a rapid reduction in both daylight and warm outdoor air. I can no longer sit outside for an hour every morning before work and read and write without being attacked by Poe the Ricochet Kitten. I must now take frequent breaks to play with her lest she make of my toes a sampling of ors d’eouvres.

Just a small stack of new reading material this past week. On the left is the November issue of Poetry. On the right is Harmada, the latest work from Joao Gilberto Noll, published in translation by Two Lines Press.

Writing has fallen by the wayside due to upheavals in my personal life, though I have thought through the narrative blockage in the book and should be ready to hit the ground running on November 1. In reading news I am keeping up the pace for the Sealey Challenge and with six days left and reading list planned out I will easily make it to the end, assuming certain looming family issues don’t come crashing down before the end of the month.

That’s all for now. 2020 is the gift that just keeps on giving.

republicans: we openly want a tyranny of the white minority and will enact violence to cement it, we've been consolidating power for decades

democrats: we believe that anyone who runs a small business in a disadvantaged neighborhood for 5 years deserves a tax cut on baby formula

Every Senate Republican—the majority of whom don't have uteruses themselves—voted against protecting Roe v. Wade and your right to decide what happens to your own body.
