I love Andrew McMillan! I was studying in London at the time this collection came out. I remember the day I bought it: I walked along the street from the bookstore to wherever I was going next, reading because I couldn't put it down. Thank you for this reminder, I might pull out this collection and re-read it today.
And yes please to more Andries Samuel artworks.
Thank you for this piece, Karin. I also have so many gym encounters and this letter reminded me of them –such intimacy with people we "don't really know"

Yes, it's a strange space and I always find it stimulating. Great for people watching too.
What a poem! I loved reading this, particularly the can’t can’t moment.
That guy with his wife's handbag... that's going to bother me all day now.
Thank you. I wrote a poem once about see you in the gym, except it wasn't you.
