An invitation to Here/Now Studies

Hello, hello, you!

I’m writing with simple news: I’m back in the real world after a year-long Masters course, and I’m launching a brand new weekly newsletter of original writing, and I would love for you to subscribe here.

My new newsletter is called Here/Now Studies. It will be a site of essays, interviews, recommendations, and occasional reader meet-ups. All of these will, as the title suggests, aim to examine and make sense of the complexities, specificities, the very particular disquietudes and furies and joys which come with being a person in our shared present. Our here, our now.

The first essay will be out Monday. New issues out every Monday thereafter, indefinitely. If you choose to subscribe, I’ll see you back in your inbox really soon. And: thank you, thank you, thank you.

That’s really all I needed to tell you.

Let me also say: I hope October has been kind to you and those you love. I hope you’re sleeping deep, eating fruits, feeling witnessed. This past year, more than any other, I’ve been achingly aware—as have you, I know—that ours is an unbearably wounded world in ever-urgent need of moral courage and mutual care. I am writing, now and now on, from that ache and its gift of clarity. I am so looking forward to the conversations we’ll have.

Yours here, yours now,
Rega
