George Szirtes: December 2014
http://georgeszirtes.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 December 2014. Malaysia Notebook, 7 December:. Last day and a retrospect. Raw or cooked, Redskin or Paleface. This is the next day and now the day after and that internal disorientation persists though to a lesser degree. It is too early and rather overweening to assess our experiences of Singapore and Malaysia, on such brief acquaintance while taking into account the intensity of each occasion as it passed but maybe this can be a beginning. You find the same ethnic mix in both though in dif...
George Szirtes: October 2014
http://georgeszirtes.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 16 October 2014. The Grey Sweater / About Time. Poems by Sonata Paliulyte. As the rain ruptures. A man leans on his hands. And consoles the wind. With ice-cold eyes -. On the quiet, I am looking. The sweater is grey, one sleeve. A rain of icy needles drizzles. Down behind the collar. Step by step I'm slinking. Up to the heart -. Stealthily along the sweater. Like a frozen cat. High amid the birches. Pours a rill of silver light. Lying back on the bedspread. Splashed with the night's mosaic,.

George Szirtes: February 2015
http://georgeszirtes.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 February 2015. Hungary in Glasgow . Multidisciplinary European Perspectives 5.ii. My own keynote on Hungarian identity and 'magyar ember' 2. Then came 2006 and the end of what seemed to have developed into a two-party system. A lot of turgid water had flowed under the bridge by that time, nevertheless the events following the revelations of the then prime minister Gyurcsány’s behind-closed-doors speech seemed traumatic to an unresolvable extent. Side of the equation offers a rich European and...

Martin In The Margins. Tuesday, 4 October 2011. This verdict had nothing to do with the actual evidence. It's all about la faccia.

A simple thought can lead to planetary convulsions. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. And so it's spring again so what. Leaves are leaves again no tree forgot. Such a cold, lingering winter.

Sunday, 11 February 2018. An exchange about Jordan Peterson. He is clearly seized by his ideas and reading, as much as by his pragmatic yet moral purpose. But I wonder how long before he exhausts himself and flakes out or says something distinctly stupid, something so careless and wrong that his opponents might hang him with it. Exchange follows from here:. He already has said some pretty stupid things. I’m neither a fan nor an opponent, but some the stuff he gets away with is beyond ridiculous. Which is...

Photo by Caroline Forbes. When Mony Mony starts up the room stops. Whatever it s doing and begins to frame. Something it needs to say. The music is a game. It learns then forgets. Temperature drops. Inside it as if time were running backwards. To where Tommy James falls through a trapdoor. Of memory and disappears through floor after floor. Till he ends up here with these notes and these words. The Shondells tremble with electricity. Drums. Generate invisible bodies in the dark. Having returned to his bi...
