Hullo, we're back - we haven't posted for awhile, as we settle in to a new year of editing, publishing and teaching.

Translated by Jacquelyn Pope. Our very own Tedi Lopez. Links to this post. The whole poin...

Here is a difference - the just-released single from the new Foals. Forget Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood. This is a new level for 21st century rock music in England. This is as hard as Led Zep.

Was a very young blog of a few weeks, when tragedy struck London, ten years ago today in the morning. Here is what we wrote then:. The people of London, accustomed to such things, are brave and will endure, but this is a sad day for all who love London and live here.'.

E Y E W E A R, THE BLOG. POETRY, POLITICS AND POP CULTURE. Friday, 13 February 2015. POEM FOR VALENTINE'S DAY FROM TODD SWIFT. No, no better name. For how we desire. To slip into heaven. By way of great fire;. With a short platform. Requiring us to run. Car to car, to reach. Its long wooden sign. Has come to fruition. Now, when in Detroit. We saw cornfields rising. From factories cut open:. Pheasants in the rust. A gun fight started up. Like an engine rattling. It was dust-beautiful,. Links to this post.
