I’ve been invited to deliver a talk at this year’s Porcupine Freedom Festival in Lancaster, New Hampshire. “Art, Politics, and the Limits of Reason” on June 19 will discuss the importance of symbolism and imagery in political movements.
The day before I’ll be on an authors’ panel that includes the mighty Underwoods (whom you may remember from I Am the Outmigration; they are the force behind Bare Minimum Books), Matt (not Matthew) Barney, and others expected. Lancaster is not the kind of place you pass through unless you’re fleeing the country for Montreal, but hope to see you there.
There’s no information yet about recording. I’ll at least publish the transcript of my talk here or at franklin.art afterward.

Oh hey, we will be in Colebrook that week. Lancaster is definitely on the way to & from Colebrook!
Franklin, as I expect you know, you look very rabbinical these days. Be careful with that--there's no telling who could be triggered, as they say.
