In this episode of "Vexations": A memory of a tree in Berlin. An obsession with the word creamy. Teaching to Transgress. Ars poetica. Narrative tropes. "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine." A psychedelic and invasive encounter with the mental health industrial complex. Girl, Interrupted. Patient L.M. High school econ. Individuals shedding their origins! The formation of ecologies! Disloyal attention that is always cutting away.

"On Hope, Mystery, and Friendship"
Poet Franny Choi cleaves to the value of hope for an artist. "What makes a hope a world-opening, powerful force is fighting to show up to it again and again, despite all the signs that things are hopeless. That, to me, is when hope actually matters. That, to me, is why it’s useful to think of hope as a discipline, because a real engagement with hope requires showing back up to the table again and again. Even when things aren’t going well."
