Guest poem: To the Tyrants, by Frederic S. Durbin


(Read Shelley's "Ozymandias.")

Words do make a difference—as typewriter insurgents, we must believe this. 

What else has the typosphere been doing for Ukraine? See Kelye Kneeland's work here and Charlie Maguire's work here, here, and here.

  2. Powerful words reversing the paradigm: it's the "powerless," not those in power who will endure. Thank you Frederic, and Richard!

    1. Plus: one day we may appreciate this also as a metaphor for typewriters...
