I can't believe u threatened us with terrorist activity ... Do you have a goodreads and if so, what are your reading goals for this year?

@fluoresensitive to the rescue, as usual. I don’t have a Goodreads but my reading goals this year include Afropessimism by Frank B. Wilderson III, the entire tryptych by Fred Moten called “consent not to be a single being”, Magical Negro by Morgan Parker (which is unlike the books I listed earlier, heavy in theory, but it includes a lot of Black feminist thinking). I also want to read:

Newcomer Can’t Swim by Renée Gladman (she is a Black lesbian experimental writer/you could actually place her in the surrealist category)

Is Just A Movie by Earl Lovelace who is a (Black) West Indian writer

Solitudes Crowded With Loneliness by Bob/Paul Kaufman, who is actually mostly responsible for the existence of the Beats movement and is continually erased from this history.

Zwanze Day 2021

If beer is your religion then Zwanze Day is one of its many annual observances, albeit one reserved for particularly fervent churchgoers.1

Well, take me to church!

I am beyond excited to be able to go and enjoy Zwanze 2021 at Beer Merchants Tap, not only because I do pray at the altar of Cantillon, but also because I’m going with friends, I haven’t spent much time with in this post-Covid world! And it’s my first-time taking part #eeeek!

And let me tell you, getting my paws onto some tickets certainly wasn’t easy! They sold out faster then toiletpaper back in March 2020 (and that says something, amirite?)

I’ll be hittin’ London’s streets tomorrow with @Chimp.Rocket, the #DesignatedResponsibleAdult and the #Viking, with our timers set to 8pm sharp. Poised to be indoctrinated and ready to hail the wild yeast!

Head over to Instagram @AtomicDucks to follow us on our quest #DrinkiesWithTheChimp

My introduction into the funky world of spontaneous fermentation was in 2012, when @Chimp.Rocket and I spend a few days in Brussels.

Always keen to try local beers, we headed towards Brasserie Cantillon, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, blissfully unaware of how the taste of a 1-year-old Lambic would change the world as we knew it forever! (I say that, but I remember we struggled to find and believe that the unassuming building in front of us was the magical birthplace of beers gone wild.)

I still remember how the young Lambic tasted, and I knew that I wanted more! So instead of buying a bottle to take home with us, we opted to have it right in the taproom, paired with a chunk of Lambic cheese. Good times!

We enjoyed the beer scene so much we actually missed out flight back home as we were drinking and dancing with monks at the Grote Markt, but that’s a story for another time!

I get that sours beers are not for everyone, but disciples of this special Belgian ale all unite in the hype that is Zwanze! And by the gods, am I excited to go! An annual gathering with limited pours of a limited-edition beer, synchronised tasting at 9pm Brussels time, across the globe: now that is spiritual!

And in 2021, our holy drink is Parasol!

A nod to the past: Parasol is a special blend of Lambic and citrus (mostly oranges), made in honour of one of Paul Cantillon’s blending experiments in the early 1950’s.

Parasol is described as […] a thirst-quenching Zwanze […] , with a contrasting flavour profile of […] acidity of […] beer […] fruit and […] freshness of the citrus in contrast to […] bitterness of […] zests.2

If reading this doesn’t get your tastebuds going, you haven’t tasted a great Lambic!

Go on, try one, I dare ya!

And to top it all off, it’s Belgian Beer Month at Beer Merchants Tap which means they will be pouring some amazing wild brews, including 3 Fonteinen, Tilquin, Oud Beersel, Lindemans, Hanssens, Boon and Horal…. both on tap and in bottles! #eeeek

Just look at this tap list of Cantillon beauts for tomorrow *drool*

- Gueuze 100% Labic Bio, Brasserie Cantillon, 5%

- Rosé de Gambrinus, Brasserie Cantillon, 5%

- Cuvée Saint-Gilloise, Brasserie Cantillon, 5%

- 50°N-4°E, Brasserie Cantillon, 7%

- Lambic d'Aunis, Brasserie Cantillon, 6.5%

- Nath, Brasserie Cantillon, 5.5%

- Magic Lambic, Brasserie Cantillon, 5.5%

- Menu Pineau, Brasserie Cantillon, 6%

- Camerise, Brasserie Cantillon, 6.5%

- Zwanze 2020 - Brettrave, Brasserie Cantillon, 6%

Can I get an Amen up in here?!

And on that note, see you tomorrow!

Anthony Gladman, “Zwanze Day”, in Ferment, Raise the Bar 2019 Issue 43

8 SPD Books to leave you HAUNTED...

IN THIS MONTH’S SPDCLICKHOLE by Trisha Low

Some days I get a really bad headache, and even if I try everything from extra strength tylenol, to ice pack to laying in bed with the lights off and the curtains closed, nothing will work. For most people, this is just annoying, they go to sleep and pray that the pain will go away in the morning.

But not me. Because I‘ve watched so many horror movies, I usually become extremely paranoid that I have become possessed by some kind of spirit that has penetrated my skull and will soon consume the inside of my body so quickly that blood will immediately start spraying out of my eye sockets.

In other words, I’m afraid I’ve somehow become HAUNTED - which just so happens to be this month’s SPDhandpicked theme!

It’s difficult to think of being HAUNTED as something positive rather than negative, but just imagine if you had the ability to spray your worst enemies with blood coming directly out of your eyeballs. Doesn’t that sound great?

Instead of simply being HAUNTED, these 8 SPD books use their supernatural powers for the purposes or revenge - and they’re so good that they’ll probably lodge themselves in your brain forever.

1. Poetry Comes out of My Mouth by Mario Santiago, translated by Papasquiaro Arturo Mantecon (Dialogos / Lavender Ink)

"The poetry of legendary Mexican poet Mario Santiago Papasquiaro is little known in the USA. Closest friend of Roberto Bolaño (he is Ulises Lima in his Los Detectives Salvajes), Mario Santiago’s poetry flies in the most hallucinatory manner out of the tangled mass of Mexico’s heritage. Fusing the supernal and infernal energies of César Vallejo and Allen Ginsberg, this non-stop automatic-rifle poetry has few peers in contemporary poetry anywhere, and the meticulous translations of Arturo Mantecón superbly render this often difficult stylist into an English equally explosive and eloquent. With this potpourri of past and present, imagined and unimaginable visions, Santiago puts himself over the edge, racing as it were to his own destruction."—Ivan Argüelles

2. Mount Carmel & The Blood Of Parnassus by Anais Duplan (Monster House Press)

"Reading Anaïs Duplan's chapbook, you realize you are more than an assemblage of ideologies, a cellular plan, or even an estranged, familial relation possessing the accoutrements of a melancholic nation, but also, too, the glorious product of dense, self-referential layered texts that call to the surface your loneliness and feelings of kinship. Here are poems that revel in post-hybridity and borderless threnodies, and go straight to the stillness of the heart, to performances of language that are fierce and juicier than a papaya, and frankly, that one would only expect from a brilliant, young mind as theirs."—Major Jackson

3. Fledge: A Phenomenology of Spirit by Stacy Doris (Nightboat Books)

This book stands for: a) a close translation of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit b) a mainly at arm's length appropriation of some poems by Paul Celan these being two extremes in language of c) a log of disasters d) a register of miracle e) also this is a bunch of love poems of undying love "Poetry and the world of imagination meant everything, were everything for Stacy. Her innovative writing was different from anyone else's, and different from herself. In other words, every book was a different experiment in poetry. And yet these experiments are all chapters from the book of Stacy Doris."—Norma Cole

4. Ghost Opera by Mercedes Roffe, translated by Judith Filc (co-im-press)

"There are no poems I crave more than Mercedes Roffé's. In the original Spanish and Judith Filc's exquisite English translation, GHOST OPERA is song, fugue, dream, drama, prayer, oracle, and memory. Doing what ancient poetry used to do—what poetry still ought to do—Roffé's poems 'open the gates of Sleep' and waken the dying soul. Roffé's work is widely read in her native Argentina and throughout the Spanish-speaking world. North Americans need her voice, too, perhaps more than we know. We're incredibly fortunate to have this brilliant bilingual collection."—Janet Kaplan

5. THERE: a novel of manners by Lonely Christopher ( Writers' Collective of Kristiania, Inc.)

THERE is an intertextual horror story about a disastrous marriage. Jack and Wendy live in a haunted house with their son. Their situation happens to echo a popular genre novel that was later adapted into a film. And yet anything familiar to the reader is bizarrely distorted. There is constant forward motion but no linearity, heart-stopping terror but no ghost. Jack and Wendy exist where time and place are broken and there may be no escape. Lonely Christopher's first novel is an intellectually rigorous and emotionally riveting perversion of classic horror tropes that explores how people destroy each other. Behind every word is a nightmarish secret. Read it if you dare.

6. Unearthings by Wendy Chen (Tavern Books)

UNEARTHINGS unfolds by way of an elegant, steadfast voice that is unafraid to confront the complexities of cultural, ancestral, and familial inheritance. Exploring her identity as an Asian American female, Chen deftly negotiates the body and its archives, summoning and exorcising the ghosts therein. In this unforgettable debut work, Chen deciphers and breaks the many silences that are expected and enforced.

7. The Leftovers by Shaelyn Smith ( Cleveland State University Poetry Center)

"Shaelyn Smith's THE LEFTOVERS extends the table of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party: it pronounces more of the names that should be pronounced; it draws in a wider range of practicing artists; it expands and complicates the context through which we read Chicago's feminist and recuperative gesture. But, most exciting of all, the book writes itself and the subject of its study into an ecological system, where many different voices rise out history, rise out of the contemporary moment, and put time and thought into a sustained rhythm. Through its unfolding THE LEFTOVERS learns how to care for each level in this living environment and leaves the reader with a feeling that she's learned something and planted something simultaneously."—Renee Gladman

8. R E D by Chase Berggrun (Birds, LLC)

R E D is an erasure of Bram Stoker's Dracula. A long poem in 27 chapters, R E D excavates from Stoker's text an original narrative of violence, sexual abuse, power dynamics, vengeance, and feminist rage while wrestling with the complexities of gender, transition, and monsterhood.
