Coffee all this morning long
and an Ashbery poem.
People already out there on the interstate
asking, Is this any way to live?
Well, of course it is.
It’s taken a very long time to get here.
Let’s pause for a minute
to think about that …
Now back to work.
Later we’ll sit glassy-eyed
in front of the TV
and not think,
only scratch whatever itch
presents itself.
The stars will shimmer
behind the clouds
and we’ll imagine somewhere
they’re having the fun
that was meant for us.
But mostly in these hours
I’ll think about you
sitting near a lamp
that casts its glow
over the thoughts
that knit together
the person you are,
the person at the center of things,
the name we have for each other.
Ashbery makes sense
at the top of the hour.
The sleepy people behind the wheel
know where they’re going.
It’s like diagramming a sentence.
Once you learn you never forget.
Mr. Coffee turns himself off after two hours.
How many lives he’s saved we’ll never know.

Exposició al Born Centre Cultural sobre el projecte "Cinc sentències de mort", de Josep Benet. Text explicatiu de l'exposició: "Durant la dictadura era impossible accedir a la documentació necessària i el projecte va quedar aparcat, però no oblidat. Ja en plena democràcia el llibre es va acabar convertint en cinc. Un per a cadascun d'aquells homes. Aquesta exposició vol ser un doble homenatge als cinc executats i a Josep Benet, personalitat clau en la lluita per la recuperació de les llibertats de Catalunya".

This was a bit of a Curate's Egg!
The first third starts with the Moon being mysteriously destroyed in the very first sentence and covers the initial reaction, the discovery that the resulting impacts of debris will scour the Earth's surface bare and the huge project to launch people and equipment into orbit in the hope that they, at least, might survive.
Part two continues the story starting from the start of the Earth's bombardment (the Hard Rain) up to the establishment of a tiny group of survivors on a still orbiting chunk of the Moon.
Section three starts after a jump of 5,000 years into the future with Mankind firmly established with hundreds of orbiting habitats and a huge reclamation project under way on the earth's surface.
I'd have been perfectly happy if he had stopped after 2/3rds of the book, before the 5,000 year gap! He could have written a sequel fleshing out the far future section instead. Or, indeed, not written the first 2/3rds at all but inserted the main events as background through a completely re-written, longer novel of the final 3rd. I'm also not fully convinced of some of his far future orbital mechanics with regard to giant objects orbiting Earth and changing direction very frequently!
Sorry, not that convinced by the big engineering (however spectacular), the future society that arises or some of the characters (the barman's a top secret agent!?)
And the origins of the three groups of survivors is particularly coincidental! One of the 'Eves' in orbit, her father, and her best friend's fiance!
In the afterward the author says he may write more using the background; maybe the fate of the vanished Mars mission will play a part!
And I think he's now hovering near the foot of my 'buy hardback on publication' list. Next one had better be good, and I don't think a sequel/companion will be appealing enough.

Apparently his next book will be a sequel to Reamde.
I liked it well enough but I'm not sure I'm that keen on that as his next project either!

Fall, Or Dodge in Hell was indeed related to Reamde and came out about a year ago in June 2019 (US edition) or July 2019 (UK edition) I made it about 20% of the way through before deciding that I didn't care enough to continue...
I may well read/reread his earlier books (I have, but haven't finished, his Baroque Cycle and also have several others I've enjoyed a lot)
here, the romans hold the meeting to decide the fate of Jesus, followed by Jesus's "beating" (doesnt happen, but the bloody body is shortly revealed).
