Gay Poet #JeanGenet died 15 April 1986. His most ardent wish was to become a saint. Now #Genet is a saint of #Antinous! Full tribute: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2024/04/jean-genet-always-wanted-to-be-saint-he.html

So today found out Patti Smith has a newsletter. And one of her recent posts commemorates Jean Genet - subject of my doctoral thesis nearly 20 (!) years ago. A sudden homesickness for library stacks, dog-eared copies of Folio Classiques, the incredible privilege of an Arts & Humanities education in the early 00s.

#Pando ist ein Wald in Utah, der nur aus einem einzigen Lebewesen, einer amerikanischen Zitterpappel, besteht.
Dieses #Genet ist vermutlich 80.000 Jahre alt.

Was macht der Mensch?

Baut eine Straße hindurch.

Pando ist akut vom Tod bedroht.

Près des Cammazes, dans l'Aude. Un peu dans la montagne noire. Promenade de la fin de journée dans la forêt à côté du magnifique camping Le bout du monde.
