Common People
An interesting little video produced by On the Commons and The New Press.
The New Press was started by André Schiffrin - who I had the pleasure to meet briefly in Paris last year - and who is one of the remaining truly independent voices in publishing.
Also, don't forget that all of my stories released online are dones so with a creative commons licence - meaning you can store, share and distribute them as you please.

Acne Studios
Acne Studios asked if they could use a photo I took of Jim Haynes when I interviewed him for Ling. Naturally I accepted.
See the Acne article here.
See my Ling article here.
Visit Jim's site here.
Jim is a powerful spirit, and even though I needed only 400 words for Ling we spoke for several hours. Sometime soon I'll post a transcript of the interview on my site.

Let's Start A Magazine
"let's start a magazine
to hell with literature
we want something redblooded
lousy with pure
reeking with stark
and fearlessly obscene
but really clean
get what I mean
let’s not spoil it
let’s make it serious
something authentic and delirious
you know something genuine like a mark
in a toilet
graced with guts and gutted
with grace"
squeeze your nuts and open your face
- E. E. Cummings, No Thanks (1935)
