Erudite & exacting, Jeffrey Yang’s LINE AND LIGHT @GraywolfPress draws different worlds out of time’s “displaced embrace” & blends collaborative breath into words that are so refined & rectifying that reading becomes rendering. Now open this “memory place”& “walk into spring.”

Here is a short video of one of the 1st Klamath River salmon to make it to the tributaries above the former Iron Gate Dam. The clip was recorded last Friday by Yurok Fisheries Dept Geologist Kayah Ray, who is part of a team surveying salmon in the newly undammed river reach.

Yesterday László Krasznahorkai received the prestigious Prix Formentor 2024. He thanked Kafka whose novel THE CASTLE he read age 12 in the hope that his brother’s friends would accept him in their circle, thereby sealing his own fate @FundFormentor @Acantilado1999 @rcwlitagency
