I'm very happy to see this two-page spread featuring some of my recent work in the latest issue of Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art (#17).

Vale.

The good news is that DT and his puppet-masters are reinvigorating the EU, bolstering its sense of common cause. Ultimately, Agent Orange's isolationism, criminality, and enslavement to Moscow will make the US a pariah state--not just shunned by the world's democracies but actively opposed by them.

Many thanks to Berlin's Haze Gallery for featuring my work. This photograph and nine more from the same series are now on view and for sale at their Web site, haze.gallery/max-cavitch

New year, new city, new series of "canvases": "Leinwand: Wien 7" (2025).

A happy find in today's mail: the latest issue of the Denver Quarterly with my photograph, "Tela: Venezia 48," on the cover.

Advice about international phonecalls? Anyone know about iPhones and e-sim services like Airalo? Looks like a good deal, but new to this and would be grateful for any tips!

Speaking truth to power. Why aren't more people doing this? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

academeblog.org/2025/01/10/s... This statement made me both immensely sad (at what happened to an esteemed scholar, activist, and ally), and outraged at #Columbia (and other universities like #NYU) for abandoning its principles and values.

Grim, excellent article by François Furstenberg on why everyone should fight the corporatization of US higher-ed. Colleges and universities have been on this anti-democratic, anti-intellectual path for decades, and it will keep getting worse--unless students, their parents, and donors take action.

All true and totally grim

Vale.

As billions prepare to celebrate the birth of the 1st-century Jewish preacher and religious leader in Bethlehem, in what is now the Israeli-occupied West Bank..... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The other Evergreen Review poem: evergreenreview.com/read/reading...

Columbia, Penn, NYU, Dartmouth...the list goes on and on and on. The long and truly venerable American tradition of civil disobedience is being slaughtered by its most prestigious and wealthy colleges and universities. bsky.app/profile/palu...

Still not yet a book in the world, but now with the splendid cover in place: www.routledge.com/Psychoanalys...

Another poem from November's Pennine Platform cluster:

A poem for the man in Florida (from Pennine Platform 96 [November 2024], 7):

Not quite yet in the world, but very much on its way!--and with a cool cover that hasn't reached the Web page yet. www.routledge.com/Psychoanalys...

I'm delighted to join this new platform with the announcement of four new poems in the latest (November) issue of Pennine Platform--with thanks to its wonderful editors. pennineplatform.com
