Tuli Tuli Tuli - 1001 ways to be joyfully revolted (short teaser) from David Liver on Vimeo.
horsemouth missed the centennial but hail tuli kupferberg!
last night horsemouth was mostly thinking about art critic hal foster (following an interview on artforum).
'we were young, somewhat apocalyptic... we drank that kool-aid.'
foster is repeating an argument he has made before, now that he comes to look back on his book the anti-aesthetic his book from the early days of post-modernism he desires to see continuities not breaks, the end of... is no longer the crucial thing. where once he embraced an anti-humanism (not putting 'man' at the centre of things) now he wants to examine what was at stake in the various humanisms.
horsemouth continues to enjoy norman douglas's old calabria - there is a map so you can trace his journeyings round the south of italy. he examines the succession of hermits by monks - the replacement of caves by monasteries.
the harvest moon was lost behind clouds. the spirit animals horsemouth has seen are wrens, crows, rabbits and grey squirrels. a blue tit magically appeared inside the house and knocked itself out trying to fly out of a closed window. horsemouth opened the window and gave it time to recover itself.
spirit plants - the humble potato, the carrot, and the sunflower - the last one that horsemouth brought back from the village hall plant sale seems to be blooming.
the tory party go to their conference with the slogan on the lectern
longterm decisions for a brighter future
but this is not where they are now. they have retreated into a short-termist anti-ecological position hoping that there is mileage in the car-driving, anti-recycling vote. it was one thing to push alok sharma out on stage at glasgow COP 26 with a net zero 2050 commitment from the UK government in his hand it is another thing to actually have to deliver it.
even boris johnson (the belated statesman) can see the sense in not fucking this one up (or so he says).
last night a beer with his mum and an episode of some scandi-noir kind of thing.
today zoom beers with howard (maybe). yesterday horsemouth walked into ewyas harold to post off the WIRE magazine with the moki and don cherry articles in it to him - only about a mile there and back but uphill and downdale.
