The FAL interviews Alejandro Civantos, author of 'Reading in red...'

Alejandro Civantos, holding the book he wrote 'Reading in red...'

From Anselmo Lorenzo Foundation, English translation by Anarchist News

We interviewed Alejandro Civantos Urrutia, a researcher who specializes in anarchist books. We talked with him about his work "Leer en rojo. Auge y caída del libro obrero (1917-1931)" [Reading in Red: The rise and fall of the worker's book (1917-1931)] , published by the Anselmo Lorenzo Foundation in 2017; an essential book to understand the importance of anarchist books, and the key role of anarchist culture played when it was at its peak.

Pleroma reading group announcement

From Pleroma

Pleroma is announcing a relatively informal reading group discussing literature of interest to anarchists and occultists alike.

Currently (as of 26 September 2022), we are reading Thunder – Perfect Mind, a relatively short text found among the Nag Hammadi scriptures in 1945.

Anyone interested in this project should join the Pleroma Discord server!

Suggestions for new texts to be read are greatly appreciated.

Night Forest Journal Issue 3

is this what anarchist poetry looks like in 2k21?

Originally published here - https://nightforestpoetry.wordpress.com/2021/04/24/night-forest-journal-...

The world has been a strange place since the release of the second issue of our journal. This strange quality has permeated near all aspects of civilisation, in more ways than we could articulate here. In a very long book, the philosopher Schopenhauer described poetry as being greater than history, as history can only account for a generalised description of the world (re-presented at a distance), while poetry articulates the experience of living in a moment, as the experiencer seeks to express ir. So, while these words are not a generalised totalising narrative of the experience of being in the world, they are expressions that these individuals wished to articulate, of their experience of this strange world.
