Listening to Foo Fighters (album) for the first time in ages is a reminder of how shockingly good is was to hear This Is A Call on the radio, and then have the album live up to the promise #5debutalbums9599
A very kind of response from Erin to the old What Are You Reading question.
I tried to sequence the poems to make getting to the end of DoL worthwhile 😉
These are all signed by the writers, btw. So get along to Typewronger and fill yr 🥾 🥾
Dave was so good at closing out those first two albums, too. Exhausted and New Way Home? Come on!
I’m feeling very privileged today to have received this close read and some kind words from one of my favourite poets.
Check out Rogue Strands, then turn to Matthew’s collections, The Knives of Villalejo and Whatever You Do, Just Don’t, if you haven’t already.
Reminded of this banger wot I wrote in 2022, after learning Marx wrote a poem about Hegel. Definitely going in the next pamphlet:

He was an idealist,
Obwohl ich nicht weiß was das ist,
So I guess I’ll just stick with the arts
