Poem of the day
The Comedian As The Letter C: 06 - And Daughters With Curls
by Wallace Stevens
Portentous enunciation, syllable
To blessed syllable affined, and sound
Bubbling felicity in cantilene,

Peter S. Shenkin: 12/ P. G. Wodehouse. "The Code of the Woosters" might be his best full-length book, but my favorites are a few of his short stories: "Jeeves and the Song of Songs", "Jeeves and the Old School Chum" (both maybe a bit misogynistic) and "The Clicking of Cuthbert" (a Golf story).
Richard Owen: it's too easy in these hectic, news feed, hot take times, to miss the thread of events.
