This year has been one unbroken stretch of night.

hello, what remains of Twitter, how are you all. just wanted to tell you lovely people that I'm offering my Joy Williams seminar + workshop again for 7 weeks, this July and August. for more info: vincentscarpa.com, which is sort of updated now and has some content!

Vincent is one of the most generous teachers and people I’ve met. His teaching has sharpened my sensibility as a writer; his profound love of literature, of Joy’s work in particular, has shaped my work in so many ways. I highly recommend this seminar.

Insane amount of programming for July at my Morning Writing Club—join me and 400+ other members for accountability, classes, Q&As, and 3 years worth of archives, all for $9/month: morningwritingclub.com

Clarice Lispector: (trans. Costa and Patterson)

A la mierda, sabía que Lula era viejo, pero no tanto

De nada.

I think the rebellion to the utter vacuity of our current landscape is to forget all of it and make art that's meaningful to you and the people you love

there is another world, and it is this one
