Mehso-so

A memoir of the author's year doing anthropological field work amongst the Domayo people of Cameroon. Although it had its moments, it wasn't as funny or interesting as his book about his time in Tanah Toraja.

"‘Why not go on fieldwork then?‘ The question was posed by a colleague at the end of a somewhat bibulous review of the state of the art of anthropology, university teaching and academic life in general."

I got some Inauguration Day themed book mail today (usps really did deliver on a Sunday! Who knew?!), and I‘m so excited to have these in my budding new collection. Field Work was one of my favourites from last year. I can‘t wait to check out the tagged book and Opened Ground.
@CBee this is literal Joetry (unless he actually wrote some, but I think he‘s a little busy right now). #SeamusHeaney #FieldWork #HumanChain #OpenedGround #Joetry2021

CBee Thanks for tagging me! Yep, I‘d say President Joe is pretty swamped at moment 😂😳 4y
GingerAntics @CBee poor guy. I shall read the poetry for him!!! 4y

TheBookHippie Unrelated but I can‘t find original discussion back here‘s an interesting article about tHat awful 1776 https://www.patreon.com/posts/sigh-1776-report-46624135 4y
GingerAntics @CBee although, somehow, I can imagine Jill reading it to him while he‘s getting ready for bed or something. He won‘t get as much as he has been getting, but he‘ll get some. 4y
CBee @GingerAntics I can totally imagine that too! How sweet would that be ♥️ 4y
GingerAntics @CBee right?! They‘re so sweet!!! It‘s so nice having a couple in the White House that like each other again. 4y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘m reading what historians have to say about this report. I sort of wish I could get my hands on a copy, but then I kind of don‘t. I hope it‘s deleted off of every server in the world and any printed copies are burned. 4y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I believe it‘s out there 😩 4y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘m sure it is, but probably only in places that were already teaching this BS anyway. 4y
Chrissyreadit Again, late to the conversation- but that article is amazing @TheBookHippie I need to memorize sections of it to use- and that would have been helpful in some conversations here on Litsy. 4y

Pickpick

This collection has a wonderful combination of straight forward poetry and more abstract poetry. This is a great bridge between more obvious poetry collections and more abstract collections. Reminded me of Whitman in places.

Had to do some fancy editing to get the whole poem in, but it was necessary. I quite like this look at autumn.

Texreader Ok what the heck does “asperged” mean? 5y
GingerAntics @Texreader 🤷🏼‍♀️ I‘m hoping it‘s mid-20th century Irish slang for something?! 5y
TrishB It‘s a term used in the Catholic Church for spraying holy water apparently. 5y
GingerAntics @TrishB really?! I grew up catholic and I‘ve never heard that term. Hm. You lean something new everyday. 5y

Trying to figure out if this is about making out or not.
