Pilgrimage to the Casa Rosselli. I would like to translate this plaque, whose eloquence, depth of thought, and memory of Fascism are of a lost era. Also: there is literally no mention of Amelia Rosselli, their mother, a distinguished author and femin

The water is almost at sidewalk level, the station empty. The semblance of irreality that ought to function as wake up call on multiple levels holds. Antico strazio. #killingthemoonlight #lalunavincerà

This photo hails from 10 years ago but it was 23 years ago that I first stepped into the archive I entered again today, to clock 7 short hours more (& counting) in the long slow work of reading of all the put-off microgratifications and the rejec

Things the skies do and other specimens of the vertical imagination indulged when not peering into language: including full moon as flame, the neighbor’s melancholy cat, a bust of a librarian whose grimace sums up the lab-coat-laden halls of th

Things the weather does besides creating states of emergency, a state of art study in this city, the view from the brutalist entry to the archive, student signatures on the architecture here, and the drama of a granddaughter’s life “after
