hi my reader friends lithub has a new syllabi section that has some great (u guessed it!) syllabi from much beloved writers like ocean vuong and ross gay here's the full list that i have already added half of to my tbr:
ekphrastic poetry with victoria chang (featuring works of john ashbery, joy harjo, paul tran)
the literature of obsession with julia may jonas (obsession as transformation, destruction, catharsis and form)
place, space and landscape with alexandra kleeman (featuring didion, okorafor and hernan diaz)
lyric research with ross gay (books that combine research with an "I" like nelson's bluets or christle's the crying book)
hybrid poetry with ocean vuong (traditions, innovations and possibilities featuring bhanu kapil, rimbaud, clifton)
multigenre experiments in form with paul lisicky (for writing that explores connections between genres)
reading about writers with peter ho davies (books that teach the craft and give writing advice, think 'the outline' trilogy)
speculative women with lina maria ferreira cabeza-vanegas (a look at speculative works by women writers like jemisin, butler, k le guin)
writers and the world with viet thanh nguyen (rankine, baldwin, and coates)
sports and contemporary writing with sam lipsyte (exactly what it says on the tin)

Does danger make sex more erotic? Would I find it so compelling if I didn’t experience it as a bit of an obstacle course? If it didn’t have within it the possibility to kill me, if not now, then five years from now? Would I feel this ache? Would I be missing something?

Quote
In the era of AIDS, clothes are enormous. They function as armor, or drag. They bestow power, but also swallow up whoever pulls them over their heads. Maybe the greatest taboo involves drawing attention to the body, as so many are losing theirs, waking up to find their wrists thinner, chests marked with spots and scale.
Paul Lisicky, Later

“Doty and Lisicky remind us, as other hybrid memoirists do, of how our lives are shaped by the things we come to love and how we could never be ourselves without them.”

New from Graywolf Press and acclaimed gay writer Paul Lisicky, Later: My Life at the Edge of the World. According to The New York Times, the book “intimately and extensively recounts the time [Lisicky] spent [in Provincetown] in the early 1990s, growing into his own, sexually and emotionally, in a community grappling with the AIDS epidemic." (Read an excerpt featured in The Cut here.)

1.
Because he could picture himself curled up on the shelf of the refrigerator between the bread and the light.
2.
Because he stared up at the sprinkler attachment and thought of it as a metal flower.
3.
Because he’d get right up again after he was told to stand up straight, like a soldier.
4.
Because his brother knocked and knocked on the other side of the locked door.
5.
Because he wouldn’t scream for his life when the mother invited Monster to stay with him.
6.
Because the mother seemed to think it all right to have Monster’s sister stay with them.
7.
Because Monster’s family had a statue of a quiet saint amid the bushes on the front yard.
— Paul Lisicky, “Cut,” published in Conjunctions

My #1 post of 2022
Do you understand? When I am done telling you these stories, when you’re done listening to these stories, I am no longer I, and you are no longer you. In this afternoon we briefly merged into one. After this, you will always carry a bit of me, and I will always carry a bit of you, even if we both forget this conversation.
—Hao Jingfang, ‘Invisible Planets,’ in Invisible Planets: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation, tr. & ed. Ken Liu

I knew that it was going to be temporary: You could live almost anywhere if it was going to be temporary, especially if there was a gleam on the other side. I said no to the places that were too roomy, too ugly, too severe. I believed that by moving my chairs and bed into two white rooms I’d be inoculating myself against personality. It turns out it is impossible to escape personality, even when the floors beneath you are cold enough to numb your feet.

Am I angry? It doesn’t occur to me that I might be one of those people who turn their anger inward, against themselves, to make it look like another emotion—inertia or loneliness so I don’t have to think of myself as an angry person. But why am I opposed to the anger in myself? Why can’t I make a home in it? Is it just that anger lives in absolutes, slams the door on nuance? Is it only that anger doesn’t always feel so good, like running six miles without any of the endorphins? Maybe it’s just that anger wears me down, and when I’m in a fury I don’t have the distance to think through a problem and then I’m back again in the house of my childhood, listening to my raging father, and I see how weak it makes him, hear how it turns him into an idiot, no captain of himself, and then he’s using it against my brothers and me. There we all are, in the middle of the night, installing a new kitchen at the shore house at three thirty in the morning, and everyone except for him is pretending to find it funny, Aren’t we the craziest family, because it’s easier to laugh at madness than to say, No, this is wrong to us, we should be in bed now, sleeping. We should be taking care of ourselves, replenishing, brushing our teeth now, drinking water. We could resume first thing in the morning. But anger filled every glass in our house. We drank so deep of it we were convinced it was sacrament.
