My Substack--Where to Find It
Hey all.
I've started a Substack. Most of the content is free. It's at: https://dammerung.substack.com
Right now it's mainly devoted to the poetry of German Expressionism, and especially the chief anthology of German and Austrian Expressionist poetry that was published in 1919 the movement's heyday, TWILIGHT OF HUMANITY ("Menschheitsdämmerung").
As the "About" section there says:
Twilight of Humanity—a journey through the poetry of German Expressionism in English, named for 1919's monumental Menschheitsdämmerung anthology of the movement's greatest poets. Besides poetry, we post & discuss Expressionist cinema & art, Weimar, &c.
Of course, the focus is on the dark poetry of Gottfried Benn, Georg Trakl, and Georg Heym, some of my personal favorites. Come along and give it a try!
I've started a second journal there that's more of a vehicle for my own personal writing experiments, too. That's called "Nine Burning Visions," but that hasn't become very active yet. Still, you can subscribe to that (for free) at: https://nineburningvisions.substack.com/
My post-Thirteen Nocturnes collection of poetry, THE FUNERAL COLONY, is coming along, slowly but surely. More updates on that later.
Talk soon,
