"Literature has been touted as many things, entertainment, escape route, educator, empathy breeder, bridge burner, name it. And many of these things it is. But its value is not contingent on the dichotomy of these features." Kindly read & engage. Thanks. trampset.org/post/the-non-wa…

“It would have been a trite tract of emotional ragebait steering affected readers on the path of anger, without care for creativity. With the language, Rushdie came to show his mastery of literary devices” @cornrowchuks on Satantic Verses in his latest trampset.org/post/the-non-wa…

The Non-War Between Heart and Style

by Paul Chuks...Frame narratives are stories and plots with internal pocket-sized stories and subplots that meet at the nerving point of narrative.

“Come then. Leave your war awhile, paper or iron war, petrol or flesh, come in with your love, your fear of losing, your exhaustion with it. All day it’s been at you, coercing, jiving, claiming your belief in so much that isn’t true.” Thomas Pynchon hitting hard on a Friday

“I wouldn't let the others know about this, but I would be everywhere, as I am right now, a thin tone like the wind, a sip of blue light” Beautiful poem here

Tyler is one of the sharpest essayists out there with a voice that is fun, seeking, reflective and not scared of plumbing experience. We’re big fans. Plus he’s a new dad and needs money for diapers.

Love Darwish. Thinking poetry—reading and writing it—changes our relationship with language and thus the world, the layers of reality we see, hear, contemplate. Changes our interface. And maybe that ripples in ways we can’t always track 🤔
Stone Circle Review@stonecirclerevOct 16
I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet. -- Mahmoud Darwish

I have sympathy & admiration for writers wrestling language to the page. Is it for fame, glory, or just to make existence bearable & meaningful? Whatever u got going, we’re open for submissions for our Dec. 4 issue. Probably a few weeks left till we close subs for the year. Scott
