my final column in The Peak just came out. it's called "On truth and tenancy", and you can read it here.
if yer interested, here's the poem i wrote a couple years ago that inspired the column:
in the W.A.C. Bennett Library
maybe Wacky Bennett
built all those dams
and universities
because he knew
that he couldn't stop
the flow, he could
only slow it down
turn it into something
we could comprehend
(something we could power
our coffee grinders with)
a shrine beaten out
with our muddy human
fists where we could
worship the water
as if it were holy,
as if it were our own.
