📕 Next up in my #SciFiSeptember is “Semiosis” by @sueburke.bsky.social, a re-read for me after loving it back in 2020.

This is 1st of a trilogy I hope to tackle in successive months after recently discovering “Usurpation” was out in paperback 🤗

I Am Still Standing, Quietly
No announcements.
No milestones.
Just presence.
I used to think survival
needed witnesses.
It doesn’t.
It just needs consistency.

Pulitzer Prize winner, novelist, activist and sometime politician Upton Sinclair, #botd in 1878, exposed wretched working conditions in the meatpacking industry. The resulting uproar prompted...improvements in food inspection. He was a Socialist, indefatigable, passionate.

Prickly, complicated, award-winning poet Stevie Smith, #botd as Margaret Florence Smith in 1902. Hugh Whitemore's play about her, "Stevie," was adapted as a film starring Glenda Jackson.

Text of poem Not Waving but Drowning.Glenda Jackson in a still from the film Stevie. She's standing in a living room. She has bangs and her hair is cut short in a bob. She's wearing a white shirt with Peter Pan collar and a black and red jumper. Black and white photo of the poet Stevie Smith sitting at.a table in front of a picture window; there's a tray of tea cups and a teapot sitting on the table in the foreground. Smith has one arm rested on the table, and in her other hand she has a cigarette in her other hand on which her head is resting and she tilts her head upward and looking upward. She's wearing bangs, and her hair is cut short in a bob.

Finished: The Prestige by Christopher Priest

Magnificent and kept me entirely enthralled. Most of the twists were telegraphed (some from early on), but didn't detract from the story. Not sure the ending fitted the tone, but perfect otherwise.

Straight onto the film tonight!
