Elevating the "one" in the arts at the expense or dismissal of the foundation, culture, infrastructure is the same system allowing uber-rich individuals in a society without real health care or true education for all. Thus, while a few stars are fun they cannot exist without extensive roots.

"O look! I can run as quickly
as Usain Bolt on my state-sanctioned bionic legs
and so now all his work has no point; I’m the fake
Einstein; the pretend Rebecca Solnit.
You get the gist. Once distinctions are erased it’s robots
at dawn and that’s all there is."

A writer and I were talking about the "long game" in publishing this morning and, after 28 years of releasing trade books, I both know it far too well and am weary of wondering why up to or beyond two years (for many presses) is required to let a writer know yes or nay. It just isn't. The end ;)

Looking for manuscript editing work.
Don't let the robot hallucinate a pile of regurgitation that will only make you look dumb and false. Hire a real person with 25 years of experience, 17 books, and a deep love of the English language to collaborate with you to make your book unforgettable :)
"We are squanderers so when they warn of this many litres of water/
per second to use the robot we shrug/,
what's another apocalypse? Humans love war of all/kinds...We adore the new shiny invisible garments, the toys/
that break instantly and fill up all the dumps in the world."
(frag 12)
