This week Osmosis is so excited to be featuring an extract from the forthcoming collection 'Grief is a Thing in Pleather' by Prudence Bussey-Chamberlain! Writing back to Emily Dickinson’s figure of death in ‘because I could not stop for death’ alongside Wiz Khalifa’s (1/5)
ALT * When your engine finally gives out Death pulls up, kicks his door wide open, says Ride or Die. You choose both. Close up his face is not handsome, a buzz of flies. There’s a waterproof hat in the back, wide rimmed and when a fly stops at your ear you ask it, why do you stay? To be as regal as the buzzard one day it replies as if the bounty hunter can confer carrion pride to everything he touches * You will crash, or You will run out of gas Both are an ending. *
I am on the crossing where Jean-Paul Belmondo dies after being shot in A Bout De Souffle by Jean Luc Godard - this appears in my essay on film locations in the new anthology The Carbon Arc - available now! richardskinner.weebly.com/ls…

This week Osmosis is delighted to feature an excerpt from 'The Rat Man' by Lucie Staniek. Opening with a quotation from Literature and Error: A Literary take on Mistakes and Errors, this ‘post-critical essay’ focuses its attention on the ‘“Nixon slip”’. As Nixon himself (1/6)
