Finished. Weird. Some very powerful moments and some moments where Mackeys attempt at breaking language when describing sound (the sun ra way. The phonetic games were) a bit much. Bedouin hornbook 6/5/24-6/11/24

Reading this again after the good news I received from ****. Mackey does what Shange implores when she tells us to hyper focus on the capacity/capability of the individual word in every moment.

This book has become less incredible. It’s like I’m reading to find nuggets at this point and am kinda on the fence (not that it matters for anyone but me!!!) about the repair I’ve poetic “descriptions”. But then every like 15 pages he writes the most incredible paragraph ever. The public/private /inside/outside on pg 66-68 is so incredibly important. But putting down for now.
