I wrote a piece about the film Cool Runnings, my short lived career as an athlete and the differences between literary and sporting failure.
This essay from @kasralang on Dylan Thomas's time in Iran – just as Thomas's marriage was disintegrating and Mossadegh was preparing to nationalise the oil industry - is just incredible writing. People should read everything Kasra writes.
A fascinating new essay by @kasralang on Dylan Thomas’s time in Iran in the winter of 1951 -- in the current issue of @TheLondonMag, and previewed here: thelondonmagazine.org/articl…

You might say it's incautious to invite *poets* to write *in prose* about *poetry*... but I'm really proud of this piece: a survey of poets, following on from one published in the magazine 64 years ago.
'Would poetry be more effective – that is, interest more people more deeply – if it were more directly concerned with the issues of our time?'
Jorie Graham, Don Paterson, A. E. Stallings and more have their say in our 2026 Survey of Poets.

'Here, then, is the inevitable clarion call to Prynne sceptics: read, read quickly, submit to the strange music, resist the cop in your head, be persuaded to rejoice, let the healing fountain start.'

This one is a real journey... my favourite essay we've published in a while.
'A painting or a photograph that explains everything, that shows everything – no matter how sophisticated its technical quality or workmanship – is nothing more than one of those icons banning us from smoking or indicating where the emergency exit is.'

'There is no state that is not nationalist in as much as, if it is to exist, it must invent a people, the indisputable conditions of its unity and the means to defend this unity.'

'Someone who can’t read a book cannot deliberate, cannot think and cannot conceptualise, and therefore is a threat. That’s where fascism gets going.'

'We’re not in the rubble, but we carry it inside us. That contradiction, being physically far but emotionally tied in, is a big part of what it means to be Palestinian in exile.'

My piece in @TheLondonMag on the way Conrad stalks Hisham Matar's latest novel, My Friends. As writers, they both capture something of London’s duplicity for the outsider––its cold apathy to you on the one hand, and the freedom this affords on the other.
