Carefully Crafted Time

A Piece in The Winnipeg Review

The Winnipeg Review posted a piece that I wrote on Madhur Anand’s A New Index for Predicting Catastrophes and Shane Neilson’s On Shaving Off His Face today. You can find it here – Madhur Anand and Shane Nielson Review.

Spells the Blue

It often seems to me that the function of the sky is to shield us from the knowledge of our own insignificance..

Cloud spells the blue
its vast labour —

conceals the depth
of our beyond,

its glad threat of
infinity,

makes opaque the
receding azure.
