Why subscribe?

In Letters from Godot, I write someone a letter, but you get to read it too. The recipients are real people—beyond that, the letters make their own rules. Some are short and odd. They could be poems, playlists, or mainly images. Some are affectionate, some furious. Some are sent, some are not.

I wrote Shannon about séance photography, though I doubt she received it. Liz Truss got one after she tanked the economy. I sent Will a poem for his newborn son. I wrote to Django about Shakespeare and mud. To Barney about deepfakes and forking paths.

Sometimes, a guest plays Godot and writes a letter too.

Tell me—who have you been meaning to write to?

Praise for Letters from Godot
