Colour photograph of David Berman, seated by a sign that reads 'Fans/Bobby's/Idle Hour', next to which stands a stylised cheap life size human figure with a guitar.

'Berman's lyrics are often melancholic, deceptively simple, funny and modest, with a sense of acute intelligence and curiosity that has somehow fallen in on itself under the weight of it all, left standing bemused and amused in the wreckage'

2/2

build now a squat stone tablet
for ants to sun on
and hide it in the dead grass:
“Here lie My Children.”

-Gary Snyder

1/2

walking lonely on a fall day
in a long meadow, slanting open to the woods
where the frost chilled
the dead grass, a year ago

peer sharply through the brown grass:
the slim thin white thing rotted
long ago

-Gary Snyder

A collage of 24 books about urban and transport planning.

If our cities are shaped by stories, then great books form the foundation of knowledge and inspiration needed to build more liveable, inclusive and prosperous places.

These are 24 titles we read this year that informed our approach to changing hearts, minds and streets. An #UrbanismBookClub thread.

this is true. this is totally happening.

(out of Hitomaro
thicket
night mountains
birds spread
the tail rivet
the ruffling moon

lifting, lifting the eyes
light is gone in the sea
the stars are bringing down sleep

Mizmaze by Sylvia Warren The first time I walked a city without direction was in Florence. Before that trip each day was regimented by parents—a designated set of sites to visit, walking through the streets was a chore bet…

"This is not an essay about psychogeography or being a flâneur, it is a question of what about settling somewhere is it that resists what is otherwise one of life’s great pleasures."

@sylvswarren.bsky.social writes about familiar walks she describes as 'mizmazes.

The plane
glints
in the sun, spins out

in smoke-
tufted straights,
loops

‘eternal
<love, peace,> days’

nor had earth
appeared
more beautiful in its ruins’

luminous web

of sand, of
stone, grass, wind.

-Karin Lessing,
from “Nazca”

Lorine Niedecker again, a few five-liners (with rhyming third and fourth lines). Written in 1957-58, shortly after Niedecker started working “a menial job at Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital.” The tremendous punch of the wee.

"The nature of a pop-up is that it is drawing to a close from the moment that it opens. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can help to give it focus and purpose."
