DEFLECT YOUR ENERGY OUT OF MISERY PORN

From The Spectators (Kano Press, Nov. 2024), a love-letter to the Upper West Side of NYC, friendship, and how to survive our current debacle.
"It is hard to avoid our herd’s proclivity for misery porn—an exaggeration, an addiction, a distraction like any other—and still stay informed. Leslie and I moan only to one another about the latest events in the fast-moving devastation known as the forty-fifth President of the United States, and, in an effort to become spectators who also act, we have become demonstration buddies—marching, carrying signs, and relentlessly calling our representatives to express our outrage, while abstaining from adding to the heat with social media venting."
