i wrote a short essay about collecting languages with my grandmother when i was a kid and the impulse to keep track of good words and good phrases ever since, especially since i’ve learned to live and write in my second language.
it’s lovely when outlining a simple memory gives way to half-remembered truths and realisations, even more lovely when an extremely talented editor commissions you to write about it over a beer at your local pub.
grateful to @oritgat for giving me the opportunity to return to a topic i just love talking and writing about, and for her precious insights.
generally thrilled to be alongside such thought-provoking work in the latest edition of @draughtjournal 🍒🌸

Next up from issue 1.2.2: Owen Hatherley @owenthomashatherley on his CD shelves; ‘there is also a row of stranger objects. One is in a silver plastic bag; another is a tall bright blue book with a digital photocollage of Ionic columns and held hands on the cover; there is a slipcase with a pink ribbon around it; and also a cardboard box covered in images of the early 2000s cartoon The Powerpuff Girls. These are the K-Pop CDs.’

Second from issue 1.2.2: Carol Mavor’s new work
Writ in Water: Like a Lagoon
The Early Poetics of Nanu del Cielo
Just as Clarice writes in Lispector – Nanu writes in del Cielo. In the words of Hélène Cixous, ‘Every writer writes rigorously in her own language.’ Link in bio and in stores!

First up from our issue 1.2.2 is @rachaelvallen on the Exeter Book, riddles and poetry: ‘This anthology of Old English verse, with one riddle in Latin, consists of various poems, some harder to relate to, like those about being an exiled travelling soldier, but also lots of thinking about god and animals, and most famously, about 100 surviving riddles, many of which have never been answered, but are also about god, and animals, and weather and also tableware and sex.’ Link in bio and in stories
