THANK YOU :D I have written all your recommendations down!

My sister (she reads FAST!!) has read Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, a lot of Gail Carson Levine, Jessica Day George's Castle Glower books and Dragon Slippers books, City of Ember, Redwall, a lot of Edward Eager, Shannon Hale (Books of Bayern and Princess Academy), Fablehaven, the first few Septimus Heap books, Spiderwick Chronicles, Warriors (nearly all), Wings of Fire (all of them, I think), The Girl Who Could Fly, Tony diTerlizzi's WondLa books, and The Thief. She's not the rereading sort (she only rereads the books she REALLY loves, such as AoGG, Little Women, Wingfeather), so it's been a bit difficult to find new ones for her to read that are appropriate for her age and also challenging enough to help her grow, too

so far I have on hold for my city library:

Oliver Twist

Tom's Midnight Garden

Sweep (Jonathan Auxier)

a bunch of LMA books

Inkspell

Scarlet Pimpernel

and I shall keep an eye out for:

Charlie Bone (they don't have it in our city, which is sad.... I shall have to go to my uni's city library for those, I think)

Mistress Marsham's Repose

Elizabeth Enright (I remember loving her Melendy Quartet books)

E. Nesbit

ND Wilson

Blackthorn Key

Wednesday Wars

Dear America/Canada/Royal Diaries

Joan Bauer (I remember Joan Bauer!! I loved her)

Rosemary Sutcliff (we have two of her books at home, I think!)

13 Treasures

Enemy Brothers

Kate Seredy

The Little White Horse

HiIlary McKay (Casson books)

Any book recommendations for a 11 year old girl who is a voracious reader (she likes Narnia, Wingfeather, The Penderwicks, MBS, Harry Potter, The Borrowers; classics like Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Secret Garden, Wizard of Oz; she recently read Bridge to Terabithia and loved it), who has a pretty advanced level of reading comprehension but sticks to 'easier' and less challenging books, and who doesn't like (and I quote) scary stuff?

Pedro Carlos González Cuevas reivindica el pensamiento tradicional español frente a la indigencia intelectual de la izquierda

Pedro Carlos González Cuevas, es historiador y profesor universitario. Es profesor titular de Historia de las Ideas Políticas y de Historia del Pensamiento Español en la UNED. Es autor de importantes obras sobre la derecha y el conservadurismo en España y experto en diferentes figuras como Ramiro de Maeztu, Charles Maurras, Carl Schmitt, Maurice Barrès, José Ortega y Gasset o Gonzalo Fernández de la Mora.

Aunque a la propia izquierda no le interesa que se hable de ello, lo cierto es que su indigencia intelectual ha sido denunciada por autores de peso…

La indigencia intelectual de la izquierda española es algo de sobra conocido y denunciado por algunos de sus portavoces más lúcidos como Josep Maria Castellet, Joan Fuster o Fernando Claudin. Lo había adelantado el gran Menéndez Pelayo. No obstante se ha tendido a ocultarlo. En ese sentido, toda la obra de un José Luis Abellán es un gigantesco fraude. No deja de ser significativo que cuando publiqué mi libro El pensamiento de la derecha española en el siglo XX en la editorial Tecnos, se pensó en la contrapartida izquierdista, pero los historiadores consultados rechazaron la petición. Seguramente era un reto excesivo para ellos. O no tenían la suficiente imaginación para inventarse una tradición. José Luis Abellán lo intento anteriormente, pero fracasó e hizo el ridículo. Su Historia crítica del pensamiento español fue un auténtico fraude.

¿Se podría afirmar por tanto que la izquierda española no ha aportado prácticamente nada al pensamiento español y tampoco al universal?

Lo dijo Ramiro de Maeztu. Lo cual puede relacionarse con el relativo atraso socioeconómico español y la lenta emergencia de nuevos grupos sociales, burguesía, proletariado. etc. Sin embargo, lo principal, a mi juicio, ha sido una extraña incapacidad intelectual y cultural en nuestra Ilustración e izquierda liberal.

No existe en nuestro suelo nada parecido a lo que Jonathan Israel ha denominado Ilustración radical de un Holbach, La Mettrie o Helvecio. Nuestra Ilustración es moderada, semejante en alguna medida a la anglosajona, compatible con la religión. Sus principales representantes fueron el Padre Feijoo y Jovellanos.

Tampoco existió en España un pensamiento liberal revolucionario digno de tal nombre. El liberalismo más lucido y representativo fue el de los moderados como el primer Donoso Cortes, Antonio Alcalá Galiano y Francisco Pacheco. En realidad, los grandes pensadores de la primera mitad del siglo XIX fueron los tradicionalistas Donoso Cortes y Jaime Balmes.

Ante esta ausencia de pensamiento, el remedio fue peor que la enfermedad. Julián Sanz del Río, afín al progresismo, eligió, en su viaje a Alemania, el krausismo, en lugar del positivismo de Comte o el idealismo de Hegel. Un gran error intelectual que no ha sido solo denunciado por Menéndez Pelayo, sino por Raymond Carr. Se eligió a Krause por el carácter laico de su filosofía. Pero ello obstaculizó la recepción del positivismo y del marxismo. No menos negativa fue la recepción de Proudhon por Pi y Margall. Su doctrina del pacto sintagmático y del federalismo fue una de las causas del fracaso de la I Republica. Hoy la izquierda sigue reivindicando a Pi y Margall.

No mucho mejor fue la aportación de la izquierda liberal en el ámbito de la historiografia.

Frente a la Iglesia católica inventaron los mitos de Al Andalus, los comuneros o los fueros como antecedentes históricos del régimen liberal. Como se demostró en la polémica de la ciencia española, los krausistas desconocían la historia del pensamiento español. Menéndez Pelayo tuvo que descubrir les la existencia de Raimundo Lulio, Juan Luis Vives y Francisco Suárez. En su Historia de los heterodoxos españoles Menéndez Pelayo les descubrió sus ancestros ideológicos. Así lo reconoció Juan Goytisolo en el caso de José María Blanco White. Igualmente con el abate Marchena. Los mitos de Al Andalus, de los comuneros y los fueros permanecen vigentes en el imaginario de la izquierda.

Especialmente grave fue el caso de la izquierda obrera.

No fue sólo la negativa influencia del anarquismo, sino la nula calidad del Marxismo español. El socialismo español fue profundamente anti intelectual. Pablo Iglesias Posse no sólo eligió como mentor intelectual al torpe y sectario Jules Guesde, sino que marginó conscientemente a los intelectuales de los aparatos del partido. Nunca pudieron existir un Kautsky o un Bebel españoles. Ni tan siquiera se hicieron eco de las tesis de Otto Bauer o Karl Renner sobre las nacionalidades. Los intelectuales quedaban en los estatutos del Psoe excluidos de cualquier cargo y representación de tipo colectivo. Lo cual fue muy criticado por Ramiro de Maeztu y José Ortega y Gasset.

El Marxismo español brilló por su inexistencia. Posteriormente, militaron en el Psoe algunos intelectuales como Fernando de los Ríos y Julián Besteiro, pero eran miembros de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza y herederos del krausismo, y no aportaron nada nuevo al socialismo. Y lo mismo podemos decir del incalificable Luis Araquistain.

La hoy mitificada II República tampoco trajo ninguna novedad desde el punto de vista ideológico.

Significó, en un principio, el triunfo del liberalismo de izquierdas y del socialismo. Contó en sus comienzos con el apoyo de intelectuales que no eran de izquierdas como Ortega y Gasset, Gregorio Marañón y Ramón Pérez de Ayala. Pronto se desencantaron del nuevo régimen y en la guerra civil apoyaron a Franco.

Los intelectuales cuestionaron la II República. Lo hizo Maeztu y los miembros de Acción Española. E igualmente Luis Araquistain y los socialistas revolucionarios de Leviatán. Lo hizo Salvador de Madariaga en su libro Anarquía o jerarquía y lo hicieron los comunistas de Octubre. Etc.

El único representante intelectual de la II República fue Manuel Azaña Díaz, hoy mitificado. Se trató de un literato de segunda fila, que, pese a su vinculación a Francia, no se enteró de la existencia de Proust o de Mallarme. Como pensador político poco hay que decir. Fue un hombre del siglo XIX. Un liberal de izquierda caracterizado por su anticlericalismo. En su obra no existen huellas de Marx, Weber, Schmitt, Keynes, etc. Todo un anacronismo.

También la influencia de Gramsci ha sido notable…

El tema de Antonio Gramsci tiene mucho interés. Y es que, como señaló el filósofo marxista Luis Althusser, sus ideas eran mucho más tributarias de Croce, Gentile, Pareto y Mosca, es decir, de la derecha intelectual italiana, que de Marx y Lenin. Algo que han señalado igualmente Alain de Benoist y Diego Fusaro. En realidad, su tesis de la hegemonía ideológica ya estaba presente en la obra de Charles Maurras El porvenir de la Inteligencia y en la investigaciones de Agustín Cochin sobre las sociedades de pensamiento en la Revolución francesa.

Paradójicamente, la edad de oro de la izquierda intelectual tuvo lugar en la última etapa del régimen de Franco.

El desarrollo económico de los años 60 y la nueva teología política del Concilio Vaticano II debilitaron la cultura cívica del régimen y abrieron el paso a la izquierda intelectual en una universidad en plena expansión y con una legislación más permisiva. Esta tendencia fue apoyada por antiguos intelectuales afines al régimen. Fue el caso de Pedro Laín Entralgo y sobre todo José Luis López Aranguren.

Este último tuvo su labor creativa durante el franquismo con obras como Catolicismo y protestantismo como formas de existencia y Ética. Significativamente Catolicismo y protestantismo como formas de existencia fue presentada por su autor al Premio Nacional Francisco Franco, con gran cabreo de López Aranguren al no conseguirlo. Aranguren logró personificar la figura del intelectual, pero se limito al exhibicionismo sin aportar ninguna idea nueva.

La izquierda fue conquistando la Universidad y fundando nuevas revistas y editoriales. Por vez primera existió en España un Marxismo académico con Manuel Sacristán, Manuel Tuñón de Lara, Enrique Tierno Galván, Josep Fontana, Ramón Tamames, etc. La juventud universitaria bebió de estas fuentes. Su pensamiento era muy endeble, pero tenía a su favor la rebeldía característica del espíritu del 68 y la novedad. El régimen no dio respuesta al reto y, por ejemplo, Ricardo de la Cierva, en su etapa en Cultura Popular, apoyó obras de comunistas como Carlos París y Manuel Vázquez Montalban. Con la democracia liberal, la izquierda consolidó su hegemonía a través de diarios como El País y la creación en la etapa socialista, de lo que Marc Fumaroli ha denominado Estado cultural. Los socialistas compraron a los intelectuales.

Sin embargo, pronto pudo percibirse la escasa calidad de ese tipo de pensamiento. El Marxismo de Sacristán no se consolidó en una escuela. Y lo mismo ocurrió con Tuñón de Lara, un auténtico fraude intelectual, repudiado por las nuevas generaciones de historiadores. Tierno Galván apareció en algunas investigaciones como un farsante carente de originalidad. Fontana acabó apoyando al separatismo catalán. Y Tamames terminó en la derecha y defendiendo el liberalismo económico.

Otros izquierdistas, como José Luis Abellán, rompieron con el socialismo escandalizados por su política neoliberal.

Y es que la izquierda socialista perdió toda dimensión proyectiva, limitándose a la administración de lo existente. El militante izquierdista típico fue un mero gregario sin formación cultural. Ejemplos, José Blanco, Adriana Lastra o Gabriel Rufián.

En lugar de una izquierda social emergió, ante el final de los regímenes comunistas, lo que Jean Bricmont denomina izquierda moral, que se basa en la reivindicación del feminismo radical, de los colectivos LGTBI, el antirracismo, la memoria histórica de las izquierdas y el antifascismo. Igualmente el multiculturalismo, con la alianza con el Islam para acabar con la influencia del catolicismo.

En el caso de Podemos, ha, reivindicado a pensadores como el neoestalista Zizek, Agamben, Laclau y Mouffe, aparte de Lenin. Más escandalosa ha sido su alianza con el nacionalismo de cara a la destrucción del Estado. De originalidad, nada.

Pese a todo lo que dice, ¿por qué la izquierda cree tener superioridad moral e intelectual?

En realidad, la culpa de esta anómala hegemonía recae en la derecha, que abandonó el debate y la guerra intelectual. La Faes ha sido totalmente ineficaz, limitándose a la economía. El torpe José Maria Aznar cometió el error gravísimo de reivindicar al mediocre Azaña. Con lo cual demostró que estaba hegemonizado por la izquierda. El PP asumió la memoria histórica, la ideología de genero, y todo lo que ha reivindicado la izquierda. Y el conjunto de la derecha sigue en esa apatía situacional. Lo se por experiencia propia. La influencia de revistas como Razón Española ha sido muy escasa.

Hace poco fui contratado por okdiario, reivindiqué a figuras de la derecha y polemicé con representantes de la izquierda, con éxito y audiencia. Pero fui cesado sin explicaciones. Para Inda es más importante el fútbol

¿Qué podemos hacer para revertir esta hegemonía de la izquierda?

Todo esto exige una decisión política y cultural. Poco hay que esperar del PP. Está por ver lo que hará VOX. En cualquier caso, creo que la contra hegemonía debería ir por tres caminos:

1. Activar el campo político y cultural de la derecha mediante redes, revistas, sociedades de pensamiento, periódicos y editoriales.

2. Reivindicacion de figuras del pensamiento español como Fernández de la Mora, Ramiro de Maeztu, Ortega y Gasset, Menendez Pelayo, Vázquez de Mella, Xavier Zubiri, Eugenio D Ors, Donoso Cortes, Millan Puelles, Luís Díez del Corral, Jesús Pabon, Gustavo Bueno, Dalmacio Negro Pavón etc.

3. Difusión del pensamiento y la obra de pensadores e historiadores extranjeros como Carl Schmitt, John Gray, Alain de Benoist, Alasdair MacIntyre, Roger Scruton, Raymond Aron, Renzo de Felice, Augusto del Noce, Julien Freund, Francois Furet, Ernst Nolte, George L. Mosse, Emilio Gentile, Leszek Kolakowski, Karl Lowith, Hans Georg Gadamer, etc.

What other fandoms are you familiar enough with to use as an AU prompt? Pokemon Trainer AU? Homestuck AU (they'd still probably die but at least there are lots of ways to come back to life)?

I’m not that familiar with Homestuck, definitely not enough to do an AU.  I read the novelizations of the Pokemon show as a kid but never saw the show or played any of the video games.  I did play the super-obscure Pokemon board game, but most of my trading cards were printed in Japanese (I had a strange childhood), so my experience there is, uh, probably not quite overlapping with everyone else’s.

Anyway, if you want list of all my fandoms… Boy howdy.  I don’t think I can come up with them all.  However, I can list everything that comes to mind between now and ~20 minutes from now when I have to end my procrastination break and go back to dissertating.  So here it is, below the cut:

Disclaimer 1: Like a lot of people who went to high school in the American South, my education in literature is pretty shamefully lacking in a lot of areas.  (As in, during our African American History unit in ninth grade we read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… and that was it.  As in, our twelfth-grade US History class, I shit you not, covered Gone With the Wind.)  There were a lot of good teachers in with the *ahem* Less Woke ones (how I read Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bluest Eye) and college definitely set me on the path to trying to find books written/published outside the WASP-ier parts of the U.S., but the overall list is still embarrassingly hegemonic.

Disclaimer 2: There are a crapton of errors — typos, misspelled names, misattributions, questionable genre classifications, etc. — in here.  If you genuinely have no idea what a title is supposed to be, ask me.  Otherwise, please don’t bother letting me know about my mistakes.

Disclaimer 3: I am not looking for recommendations.  My Goodreads “To Read” list is already a good 700 items long, and people telling me “if you like X, then you’ll love Y!” genuinely stresses me the fuck out.

Disclaimer 4: There are no unproblematic faves on this list.  I love Supernatural, and I know that Supernatural is hella misogynistic.  On the flip side: I don’t love The Lord of the Rings at all, partially because LOTR is hella misogynistic, but I also don’t think that should stop anyone else from loving LOTR if they’re willing to love it and also acknowledge its flaws.

Guess I am gonna make a Library Triage post! Except I’m not actually going to triage it, I’m just going to list everything to try and verbalize to myself exactly how many items I have checked out of two libraries right now, make sure I know where they are, and otherwise try to wrap my head around the sheer volume of Stories I have to keep me entertained this month, and maybe beyond.

COUNTY 1 1. I Am Still Alive - Alice Marshall: I can't shake the feeling this might be bland, like an adult novel, but I also feel like it's important I read it.

2. Now Is Everything - Amy Giles: I am about a chapter into this, since this and the above are up for renewal a week earlier than the rest. Unsure if it will be better than 3 stars, but I am hoping to get some shipper thrills while I wait for the story to be uncovered. Charlie seems very darling.

[edit: I am no gonna update this list for anything else, but I just wanna say that THIS ^ IS THE WORST IRONIC THING I HAVE EVER WRITTEN. The book was 1 star and I stayed up all night 2 nights in a row because of it, the first night because I couldn’t stop hate-reading until I finished and the second because I WAS STILL MAD AND COULDN’T STOP YELLING ABOUT IT and wow here I am about to lose a third night that way. fwiw Charlie did have darling attributes, but his readiness to have sex a month into their relationship cooled my feelings about him dramatically, and he was still the best part.]

3. Best Foot Forward - Joan Bauer: A quick sequel to the equally quick novel of hers I just read (Rules of the Road), but to my surprise I didn't want to continue the story right away. I will soon.

4. Hit the Road - Caroline B. Cooney: a road trip book I meant to read last spring, but thought the library had gotten rid of, because I forgot which county it belonged to. Might be too light and funny for my mood right now, or it might be delightfully similar to Rules of The Road.

5. All The Things You Are - Declan Hughes: this bears more than a passing resemblance to the ridiculous number of low-budget horror movies I have in my Netflix queue right now, and since I seem to be All About That Dark of late...

6. The Caged Graves - Dianna Salerni: this feels less dark than the above but potentially more spook, in a 19th century setting. WHY ARE THERE CAGES OVER THESE GRAVES.

7. California - Edan Lepucki: grabbed the audiobook to play in the car during the commute, because post-apocalytpic survivalist stories are my jam. Also checked out hardcover in order to continue reading at-will, because I am Very Bad at being patient and listening passively, so I'm almost halfway through it.

9. The Lost Queen of Crocker County - Elizabeth Lieknes: looks like an appealing Midwestern-set women's fiction novel; more importantly, the library has it in e-audiobook. Unfortunately, it can't be transferred to my MP3 player to play in the car like I planned, but at least it's something I can play at home while I clean. (Also grabbed in paperback in case I get impatient.)

10. Jungle - Yossi Ghinsberg: The memoir that the DanRad movie I recently raved about is based on. From what I can tell, the movie stuck pretty close to its source material, and since I was tempted to watch the movie twice I think I will verily enjoy the literary translation, perhaps understand some of the movie's limited-dialogue scenes a bit better.

11. Survivor! The Ultimate Game - Mark Burnett: I was SO excited to read this the day I checked it out, but was with my boyfriend and had to wait until the end of our date (what a burden, right?), and then Books I Felt Would Draw Less Attention At Work (a.k.a. Not Make Me Look Like The Obsessive TV Junkie I Am) jumped in front of it. Rest assured, though, I look forward to being able to lose myself in reliving the first season. Or living it for the first time, since I think I only ever saw the latter half of it at most. Need to return: a book and an audiobook Holding to complete Goodreads reviews: 2 additional books DVD: Tiger Eyes -- still need to watch this!

COUNTY 2 12. All Out of Pretty - Ingrid Palmer: The book itself is NOT AT ALL out of pretty, with appealingly extra-white pages and a square shape and semi-cloth cover instead of a dust jacket. I can't really tell what it's about except a poor girl, possibly involved w/ drugs? But the first few pages sucked me in so I want to find out.

13. Radical - E.M. Kokie: As you can see above, I seem to be a sudden mood to read survivalist-type stories

14. Letters to the Lost - Brigid Kemmerer : A hit on my "SHOW ME BOOKS WITH QUALITY MALE FRIENDSHIPS" order to Google, I am looking forward to it because it comes with a companion novel for the guy's friend, but I need some time to recover from my annoyance with Darius The Great Is Not Okay first (the other hit on that search, which did its job in that department well but failed at engaging me with anything else). Need to return: DVD, audiobook, book CD: Phoebe Bridgers, "Stranger in the Alps" (keeping it in the car)

Physicians Provide First Comprehensive Review of COVID-19’s Effects Beyond the Lungs

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease was characterized by many as a flu-like respiratory infection mainly affecting the lungs. Now, physicians recognize that the coronavirus can impact organs throughout the body. In a collaboration among physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, researcher-clinicians have conducted an extensive review of the latest findings on COVID-19’s effect on organ systems outside the lungs. Their review, published in Nature Medicine, also summarized proposed mechanisms behind these wide-ranging systemic effects and provided clinical guidance for physicians.

“Scientists all over the world are working at an unprecedented rate towards understanding how this virus specifically hijacks biological mechanisms of the human body that are normally protective,” said co-lead author Kartik Sehgal, MD, a hematology/oncology fellow in the Cancer Center at BIDMC. “We hope that our review will be a comprehensive resource for physicians, nurses and other health care workers caring for patients with COVID-19, and provide impetus to consideration of all organ systems involved while developing research priorities and therapeutic strategies.”

Based on their own experiences caring for patients with COVID-19 as well as recent reports in the scientific literature, the team of clinicians — co-led by Columbia cardiology fellows Aakriti Gupta, MD and Mahesh V. Madhavan, MD, and senior author Donald Landry, MD, PhD, chair of medicine at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center — delineate the myriad fronts on which the coronavirus may attack the body.

Beyond the severe respiratory distress now associated with severe COVID-19, the virus also may increase patients’ risk of heart attack, kidney failure and clotting disorders, the physicians report.  Neurological symptoms, including headache, dizziness, fatigue, and loss of smell, may occur in about a third of patients. Patients with severe cases of COVID-19 are also at risk for strokes caused by blood clots and delirium. “Physicians need to think of COVID-19 as a multisystem disease,” said Gupta. “There’s a lot of news about clotting but it’s also important to understand that a substantial proportion of these patients suffer kidney, heart, and brain damage.”

Scientists suspect these various complications may all stem from the systemic inflammation that can occur as the immune system attempts to fight off the virus’s attack on the body, especially cells that line the blood vessels. When the virus attacks blood vessel cells, inflammation increases, and blood begins to form clots, big and small. These blood clots can travel all over the body and wreak havoc on organs, perpetuating a vicious cycle. In addition, the downstream messenger signals of the immune system may spiral out of control in severe cases, contributing to these widespread effects.

“Future studies following patients who experienced complications during hospitalizations for COVID-19 will be crucial,” said Madhavan. “It really was quite astounding to see the significant ramifications this virus had on these other systems.”

Breaking this cycle may be a promising way to treat patients with severe cases of COVID-19. A recent clinical trial has found that at a drug called dexamethasone—a steroid the globally suppresses the immune system—reduced deaths in ventilated patients by one-third.

“It’s a relatively new virus and we’re still learning about its long-term effects,” said Sehgal. “The recognition of multi-system involvement by COVID-19 is important for optimal care of these patients while hospitalized, and to develop a comprehensive post-hospital discharge follow up plan.”

Other authors included: Nandini Nair (Columbia), Shiwani Mahajan (Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT), Tejasav S. Sehrawat (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN), Behnood Bikdeli (Columbia), Neha Ahluwalia (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY), John C. Ausiello (Columbia), Elaine Y.

Wombwell Rainbow Interviews

I am honoured and privileged that the following writers local, national and international have agreed to be interviewed by me. I gave the writers two options: an emailed list of questions or a more fluid interview via messenger.

The usual ground is covered about motivation, daily routines and work ethic, but some surprises too. Some of these poets you may know, others may be new to you. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.

Charlie Brice

is a retired psychoanalyst and is the author of Flashcuts Out of Chaos (2016), Mnemosyne’s Hand (2018), and An Accident of Blood (forthcoming), all from WordTech Editions. His poetry has been nominated for the Best of Net anthology and twice for a Pushcart Prize and has appeared in The Atlanta Review, The Main Street Rag, Chiron Review, Fifth Wednesday Journal, The Paterson Literary Review, and elsewhere.

The Interview

1. When and why did you start writing poetry?

I started out as a fiction writer. I wrote a couple novels but wasn’t happy with them. Tinkered with them endlessly. I wrote poems in high school and in college, then met my wife to be, the poet Judith Brice, read a couple of her poems, and stopped writing poetry for about 25 years! About 15 years ago, Judy and I attended a writers’ conference in Michigan: Judy as a poet and me as a fiction writer. I had some down time and Judy talked me into attending a workshop offered by Maria Mazziotti Gillan (the Editor of Paterson Literary Review). Maria gave us an assignment: write a poem that refers to a popular song. I wrote a poem called “The Game,” about going to a minor league baseball game with our son, Ariel. On a lark I sent it in to a magazine and it got published immediately. More and more of that happened with my poems and I discovered that I was a poet!

2. Who introduced you to poetry?

Well…my first poetry teacher was a horrible woman named Sister Humbert, a Dominican nun who was a full fledged sadist. She made us sixth graders memorize a poem and I memorized Excelsior by Longfellow. I immortalized this experience in my first book, Flashcuts Out of Chaos, with my poem, “My First Poetry Teacher.” Actually, the nuns, for all their faults or because of them, have turned out to be terrific muses for me. The guy who really got me writing poetry was named Bernie Beaver, my freshman English teacher at the University of Wyoming. He really wasn’t a very good teacher, but one thing he drilled into our heads was that “anything can be a poem.” I will forever be thankful to him for that. Because of him I never run out of subjects to write about. Just recently I wrote a poem about what I don’t want to write about. See what I mean?

3. How aware are and were you of the dominating presence of older poets traditional and contemporary?

I never thought of these wonderful people as “dominating,” but as poets whom I loved to read and learn from. I suppose the first poet I loved was e.e. cummings. You’re not supposed to like cummings now. You’re supposed to think of his as a light weight. But lines like, “It may not always be so, and I say, that if your lips should touch another’s as mine in time not far away”…or “nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands” (this may not be perfect–just rattling off the top of my head), lines like those just send me someplace out of this world. Other American poets that I loved: Theodore Roethke, Thomas Lux, Jim Harrison, and the great European poets, especially Rilke, Dylan Thomas, Keats, Shelly, all those wonderful writers, they were all so inspiring to me. People I could not only learn from, but get comfort from. I used to had out poems to some of my patients. Hopkins’ poem, “Margarat are you grieving over golden groves unleaving” was especially helpful to people undergoing vast life changes.

4. What is your daily writing routine?

I spend the morning reading. I love fiction, am rereading Jim Harrison’s, The English Major, and Dickins’ Bleak House right now. Just finished, today, The Galloping Hour, by Alejandra Pizarniek–a South American poet who wrote in French and who was clearly interested in the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, and I’m reading Lawrence Krauss’ book on astro physics, A Universe From Nothing. I find physics, especially quantum mechanics, to be an orchard of metaphor for poets. In the afternoon I go up to my study and write. If I don’t have a new poem, I edit and revise old poems, especially ones that have been rejected. I submit a group of poems every day. I see submission as part of my writing day. I love the entire process including editing my work and doing interviews like this one.

5. What motivates you to write?

I think my main motivation is interest in the world and in what we are all up to in our lives. When I was at the Universtiy of Wyoming I was lucky enough to run into a philosophy professor, Richard L. Howey. I took loads of courses from him. Richard taught us to be interested in everything and skeptical of everything and to think before we speak and anticipate the arguments of others before we venture into a debate or dialogue. I have dedicated my new poetry collection, An Accident of Blood, to Richard.

6. What is your work ethic?

My work ethic? I write every day, or submit, or revise. I really feel horrible if I don’t do one or all of those things every day. I can write in all conditions and almost anywhere. I usually start out in longhand in a notebook I carry with me everywhere, then type it up, get it on the computer and go from there. It’s unusual for me to send out a poem that hasn’t gone through at least 7 revisions. Some have been revised as many as 30 times. One poem, Soulium (in my second book, Mnemosyne’s Hand) was accepted 20 minutes after I wrote it! That’s a record for me.

7. How do the writers you read when you were young influence you today?

Cummings remains an influence. I want to write poems that provoke an emotional response in the reader. I don’t care for the more academic writers, the Ashbury’s of this world. If I can’t feel something or if my world isn’t improved by reading a poem, then I’m not interested. Tom Lux and Jim Harrison always produced strong feeling in me and that’s what I want to do in my own work.

8. Whom of today’s writers do you admire the most and why?

I admire so many writers. I love Facebook because I’ve “met” some great writers like Ace Boggess and Gary Glauber there. I admire their work immensely. I think the poetry of my teachers is wonderful: Jack Ridl, Michael Dickman, Robert Fanning, Richard Tillinghast, Maria Gillan, and Maria Howe are terrific teachers and wonderful poets. The poetry community here in Pittsburgh is incredible. Every day of the year, all year long, there is at least one poetry reading in our city. It’s incredible! My favorite poets here are, Judy Brice (my wife), Jason Irwin, Jen Ashburn, Angele Ellis, Janette Schafer, Joan E. Bauer, Michael Wurster and a slew of others too numerous too mention. I feel very lucky to live in this city.

9. Why do you write, as opposed to doing anything else?

I don’t really know why I write. I just write. I can’t imagine not writing. I’m retired now. I was a psychoanalyst for 35 years and I’m much happier as a poet. I miss my patients, but my analytic colleagues were, mostly, much more troubled than my patients. I haven’t met any writers that are as troubled as my former colleagues. Anyway, I just love writing and I’m not sure why I do. I just do.

10. What would you say to someone who asked you “How do you become a writer?”

As for advice on how to become a writer–read, read everything. Do what Howey taught us to do: be interested in everything. My mother always said that if you’re bored, it’s your own fault. You’re not looking far enough or deep enough into your world. She was right. In terms of the writing itself, the most important thing to overcome is the inner critic, what we called in my former profession, the super ego. There will always be a “voice” in your head that will tell you not to write somethin or that no one will be interested in what you say or that you are immature… . Fuck all that. Get rid of the critic. Often, the very stuff you’re critic is telling you not to write is what readers will be most interested in. Also, allow the music you love to influence you. I always write with a soundtrack (usually classical music, but that’s just me).

11. Tell me about the writing projects you have on at the moment.

My new book, An Accident of Blood, should be out in just a couple weeks. I’ve got almost enough poems in the hopper for a third book. Aside from that, I’m busy arranging readings and promoting my latest book, Mnemosyne’s Hand, in any way that I can. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to do this interview. Thanks so much.

[reseau-actu]

Devant la justice britannique, la défense de l’intermédiaire s’est attachée à démontrer que les juges français avaient été instrumentalisés par l’ancien pouvoir socialiste.

L’ancien président français Nicolas Sarkozy et le juge d’instruction Serge Tournaire n’étaient pas présents à Londres. Pourtant, ces deux hommes ont occupé l’essentiel des débats à la Westminster Magistrates Court, ce lundi 21 janvier.

C’est au premier étage d’un bâtiment banal du centre de la capitale britannique que s’est ouverte l’audience, maintes fois reportée, chargée d’examiner la demande française d’extradition de l’homme d’affaires franco-algérien Alexandre Djouhri, qui serait la victime collatérale, à l’en croire, d’une « cabale » menée par l’ancien pouvoir socialiste.

« Je suis le bougnoule, fils d’ouvrier, né à Saint-Denis, et on m’en veut pour mes origines, a déclaré l’homme d’affaires à la presse, avant le début de l’audience, attaquant nommément le juge d’instruction Serge Tournaire. Il faut arrêter cette mascarade. »

A bientôt 60 ans, celui qui aime à se faire appeler « M. Alexandre » est soupçonné d’être au cœur du financement libyen de la campagne de M. Sarkozy, en 2007 sur lequel une enquête instruite par M. Tournaire a été ouverte en 2013. Sa proximité avec l’ancien président, qu’il tutoie – il lui a rendu visite quatorze fois à l’Elysée entre 2007 et 2011 – lui vaut aujourd’hui d’être décrit comme l’intermédiaire incontournable. Celui par qui passaient une partie des grands contrats stratégiques en Afrique du Nord et dans des pays du golfe Arabo-Persique.

Un montage financier douteux

Un mandat d’arrêt européen, dont il conteste le bien-fondé allant jusqu’à le qualifier de « faux », avait été émis à son encontre courant décembre 2017 pour « fraude » et « blanchiment ». Selon les termes de ce mandat, M. Djouhri est accusé de « faux et d’usage de faux, de corruption active, de corruption active d’agent étranger, de complicité, recel et blanchiment de détournement de fonds publics, de blanchiment de corruption et de blanchiment de fraude fiscale ».

Il est plus précisément soupçonné d’avoir mis en place un montage financier douteux autour de la vente à un prix largement surestimé d’une villa située dans le sud de la France à la filiale suisse du fonds d’investissement libyen alors dirigé par son ami Bechir Saleh, directeur de cabinet de Mouammar Kadhafi.

Selon l’accusation, l’argent perçu sur cette vente aurait en partie servi à financer l’acquisition par Claude Guéant – secrétaire général de la présidence de la République de 2007 à 2011, puis ministre de l’intérieur jusqu’en 2012 – d’un appartement parisien à hauteur de 500 000 euros. Pour ces faits, ce dernier a été mis en examen pour « faux » et « blanchiment ».

« C’est un détournement de procédures réalisé par des juges politiques », s’est emporté Alexandre Djouhri, lundi, lors d’une suspension d’audience. Selon lui, l’ancien premier ministre, Manuel Valls, et l’un de ses conseillers, le criminologue Alain Bauer, seraient à l’origine de ses ennuis judiciaires.

Pour appuyer sa thèse, son avocat britannique, Jonathan Caplan, a fait citer le premier des quatre témoins annoncés : un ancien juge d’instruction français, avocat depuis près de trente ans. Après avoir prêté serment, Hervé Lehman s’est attaché à démontrer que sous la présidence de François Hollande, la justice avait été instrumentalisée à des fins politiques pour « détruire politiquement Nicolas Sarkozy et son clan ».

A l’écouter, Alexandre Djouhri ne serait qu’un moyen d’atteindre « par procuration » l’ancien chef d’Etat. Et de décrire les acteurs de cette manœuvre : « Il n’y a pas de grand méchant loup qui décide de tout ça, mais un ensemble d’alliés objectifs : la presse de gauche – notamment Mediapart et Le Monde –, le pouvoir politique de 2012 à 2017, et le Syndicat de la magistrature qui a affiché clairement son hostilité à Nicolas Sarkozy. »

M. Lehman, a cité le « mur des cons », ce qui a été difficile à traduire et à expliquer à la cour. Une référence au trombinoscope, révélé en 2013, affiché dans les locaux du Syndicat de la magistrature – minoritaire et classé à gauche –, sur lequel apparaissaient des personnalités de droite comme autant de cibles présumées.

« Serge Tournaire est un juge dur qui applique aux hommes politiques les mêmes méthodes d’enquête que pour le grand banditisme, a insisté le premier témoin de la défense. La question qu’il faut se poser est : pourquoi est-il choisi systématiquement pour enquêter sur Nicolas Sarkozy ? » Interrogé par Me Caplan, M. Lehman a souligné son indignation quant au fait qu’un ancien chef d’Etat puisse être l’objet de tant de procédures. « C’est sans précédent dans l’histoire », a-t-il ajouté.

« Pourquoi on m’en veut autant ? »

M. Lehman s’est ensuite longuement appesanti sur le statut des procureurs français et leur dépendance vis-à-vis du pouvoir politique. L’avocat du Service des poursuites judiciaires de la Couronne (Crown Prosecution Service), Benjamin Watson, qui représente la justice française, lui a opposé une décision du Conseil constitutionnel du 8 décembre 2017. Celle-ci acte de la conformité du système judiciaire français avec la Loi organique.

« Me demandez-vous de dire, en fin de compte, que le système judiciaire français ne garantit pas l’indépendance des magistrats ? », a demandé à Me Caplan, la présidente de la cour, Vanessa Baraitser, désireuse de recentrer les débats et indiquant aux deux parties qu’il ne lui revient pas d’arbitrer ces questions.

A l’issue de cette première journée d’audience, les faits reprochés à M. Djouhri n’ont ainsi été évoqués qu’à la marge. N’ayant pas le droit de s’exprimer devant la cour, le middleman (« intermédiaire ») a suivi les débats, assis à côté de son traducteur, les deux mains posées sur sa canne qui le soutient depuis plusieurs accidents cardiaques.

Il a répété à la presse qu’il « avait confiance en la justice française », sans pour autant cesser de la critiquer. Et de s’interroger : « pourquoi on m’en veut autant ? Si j’avais vendu du haschich à Saint-Denis, M. Tournaire ne m’aurait pas poursuivi. »
