Time Capsule # 36: What's one thing you're leaving behind in 2023?

Join me!

Dec 30, 2023

Welcome to my Time Capsule project, where I save and reshare old pieces of writing, art and other creations. The purpose behind this project is so that created pieces don’t live and die by the algorithm, without forcing creators to be on the hamster wheel of creation. Want to join? Drop your item into the time capsule here!

Good News & Gratitude #10

Hi Beyonders, My beloved Auntie Marge died on Sunday. She was ninety-eight. I loved her beyond measure. As my niece said, she was a force. And as her grandson said, she was woke before there was a word for it. I wrote a lot about her to share with you. She was feisty and funny and loved animals the way I do; and she was my mom’s sister and they grew up i…

1940: The Second Great Migration, the Tuskegee Airmen, White Allies & Influential Black Americans

The Second Great Migration consisted of more than 5 million Black Americans from the Northeast, Midwest and West. It lasts until 1970 and is much larger and of a different character than the first Great Migration (1916–1940), where the migrants were mainly rural farmers from the South and only came to the Northeast and Midwest…

Art Dogs

A Friday postcard

Hello Art Dogs! I’ve had a jam-packed few weeks—a trip home to California, followed by a pit stop in Vegas for Game 1 of the WNBA finals, and this week we had a big team offsite for Substack in New York. As a result, this edition of Art Dogs is short and sweet. I hope you enjoy it…

Writing Problems: What's Wrong with Poetry?

Everyone I speak to who reads or writes poetry lately is dissatisfied with poetry. Privately, people react to poems with a statement similar to: “That was hardly worth doing,” or “why is this getting attention?” What the hell is going on? There is a sense of a flatness or sameness in poetry that some people trace to the proliferation of MFA programs, or that a certain style is more acceptable than others. This style, a kind of offshoot of the confessional approach, has become…

A Selection of Poems by Louise Glück

Dear Friends, Whether you’re a longtime reader and admirer of Glück’s writing or just discovering her work at the news of her passing, I wanted to offer a round up of 10 of my favorite poems. There’s no doubt that Glück had a remarkable career. In 2014, she was appointed U.S. Poet Laureate, and in 2020, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—the f…

Five Photographers and a Book of Trees

It’s raining in Madison today — One of those lazy, stay inside, binge The Great British Baking Show kinds of days. That’s fine by me, since I’m still recovering from an ankle injury and won’t be hiking outside anytime soon. But it feels good to be getting back into the groove with the newsletter after so many weeks away. That’s how it goes sometimes…

Garbage Notes

same thing

This woman does the same thing every day. Same breakfast, same lunch. Her whole routine doesn’t vary. Must be the weight of choice in a city so daunting… The chaos out there is just way too much. In that way I understand her. I can sympathize. When everything around you is in constant motion…
