Still, The Sky by Tom Pearson Still, the Sky is a speculative mythology rendered through poetry and art that combines the tales of Icarus and the Minotaur and creates for them a shared coming-of-age through a correspondence of written fragments, artifacts, ecofacts, and ephemera. Fragmented memories, relics, and confessions combine in a labyrinth of fever dreams and meditations which contemplate innocence and experience, war and peace, exile and homecoming, flight and failure, love and loss. I don’t usually read poetry books but writing poetry is a passion I used to have and lost that I can’t seem the reclaim so I figured reading a good poetry book would help me. And I’m very hopeful about this book. I love mythologies and I’ve only ever tried reading about it in stories so trying to read it in poetry is so exciting!! Can’t wait to get started on this one! 🔖 #stillthesky #tompearson #poetry #poetrybooks #mythology #mythologybooks #AD #Gifted #bookishcanadians #bookblogger #bibliophile ##bookstagramphilippines #bookrecommendations #bookstagramfeature #instabook #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookfeature #booksbooksbooks #bookgram #booknerd #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookreviewersofinstagram #books #readingcommunity #bookloversofinstagram #goodreads (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChHt60oLv-j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you hadn’t come back online would you have remained (blissfully) unaware? And does email count? I filter concert announcements to a particular folder and check them when I feel like it...

My first thought was: Aw yes, I’ve got ten years to make progress before other people catch up. But I think that attitude at least partially defeats the point! Thanks though, good to know. 

Makes good sense - interesting to hear other peoples’ approaches. I’ve been working on doing that with films, may be time to extend the practice to music too!

That seems like the best of both worlds, thanks! I’m on leave next week when the winnings are being distributed so I’m tempted to just ask for it to be bunged in the milk fund. It’ll be either £4 or £8 so not a fortune.

Went back to see John Cale there this year. He was good but the sound wasn’t - not as bad as S-K who are LOUD. Oh but then there are the seats. What’s your experience of the mighty Roundhouse?

Ahh, that's a shame! I've not seen them before, I hadn't even listened to them until after Jamie had offered me the ticket - enough people with discerning taste had mentioned them on Tumblr that I was confident they'd be good.
