Can Sartre and Gandhi really make a Tube journey fly by?
Hell is other people – something London commuters may be forgiven for muttering to themselves on their daily Tube journeys. It is certainly not a phrase they would expect to hear the driver announce, not without feeling a slight pinch of panic.Yet these words, from the Parisian existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, are part of a book of sayings given to London Underground staff, who are being encouraged to dispense them over the Tannoy to try to spread some joy and intellectual inspiration.A [Read more]

TONY EASTLEY: Big city train commuting can be exasperating and it's not helped by the platform and driver announcements that leave passengers wonde [Read more]

Ananda Osel's 'Dispatches' are far from absurd
Like Proletariat Press, Osel is relatively new to the poetry scene.  Despite his newcomer status, Osel is already a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee (The Carnal Hypothesis and Pretty Damn Good) and has had his work published in New York Quarterly, Denver Syntax, Word Riot Magazine, and The Beat.  This is pretty remarkable coming from someone who didn't write poetry seriously or consistently until 2006 and considers his writing outside of poetry to be mediocre.  In an interview Osel called [Read more]

Beauty, the point of art (once)
Philosopher Roger Scruton:At any time between 1750 and 1930, if you had asked an educated person to describe the goal of poetry, art, or music, beauty would have been the answer. And if you had asked what the point of that was, you would have learned that beauty is a value, as important in its way as truth and goodness, and indeed hardly distinguishable from them. Philosophers of the Enlightenment saw beauty as a way in which lasting moral and spiritual values acquire sensuous form. And no Ro [Read more]

The Festival of Stupid
        George W. Bush is not as stupid as he appears. It isn’t so much that he IS stupid, but that he does stupid. The entire premise of the Bush 43 Administration was to wreck the economy, to really screw it up worse than Reagan-Bush did, so that the political takeover of America by the Robber Barons and the Fascists would be easier (for them).        But Dubya screwed that up!

EVERYTHING MATTERS! By Ron Currie Jr.
Everything Matters! focuses on the immensely consequential life of John Junior Thibodeau, the fourth-smartest person in the history of the world. We meet him in 1974, in utero, before he has to master the involuntary coos and facial twitches which are the foundation of infantile cuteness. The narrator of this section is an omniscient Voice, a kind of cosmic, tough-love therapist that exists outside time and space and maintains a long-standing policy of supportive neutrality. It speaks [Read more]
