An early and insightful review of Poor Man’s Opera (Galleon Books, 2026) by Dr. Amy Tucker on her substack The Third Shore. Big shout out to Christopher Shoust of Lost Telegram Press, who helped get me this review and is actively looking for others for this book.
Let that sink in. One publisher is helping promote the book of another. That is true outlier community spirit and the rest of the publishing industry at all levels should be taking notes.

Watched Forced Entertainment's version of #Shakespeare's #MeasureForMeasure.
If Biden had both allowed the FBI's Epstein files to be kept secret thereby protecting Trump & also let the FBI and Justice Dept slow walk prosecution of Trump, that would be as bad as the way that the Duke lets a murderous, lying hypocritic of a judge Angelo skate at the end of the play.
Altogether too relevant to today.
Needs to be banned.
