03 - The Possibility of an Encounter

03 - The Possibility of an Encounter

Read and listen to issue three of The Attention Span Newsletter.

Welcome to issue three of The Attention Span Newsletter.

Every other week, I take the time to reflect and offer a glimpse of how I see the world through the lens of culture, art, translation, poetry and literature. Each issue has a short essay, a nerdy look at translation, a page from one of my notebooks, a list of things to read, watch or listen to, and a highlight from my archives.

You can read issue three of The Attention Span Newsletter online. If you prefer an audio experience, you can listen to me reading the newsletter to you via the audio link above (or by subscribing to the podcast on your favourite podcatcher!)

If you want and are able to, you can also support my work via Patreon.

Thank you for your presence and attention!
