Dark Sonnet by Neil Gaiman.

I love that Chris Riddell is drawing illustrations for some of my poems for no better reason than pure enjoyment (and what better reason for making art could there be?)

Finished reading Girl in a Band by Kim Gordon

This was a great read and so interesting to learn about her life, and her perspective on her career, art, music, New York and LA. Even as a fan of Sonic Youth I wanted more of Gordon’s story rather than the bands.

John Malkovich has recorded an audio book version of Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions for you.

“Breakfast of Champions is just about the best script an actor could wish for, and it was a real treat to perform. I hope Vonnegut fans have as much fun listening to this challenging and funny American classic as I had recording it, and I believe those new to the book will discover it’s just as fresh and relevant as it was forty years ago.“

Young people need to understand that not all images are there to be consumed like fast food and then forgotten – we need to educate them to understand the difference between moving images that engage their humanity and their intelligence, and moving images that are just selling them something.
