This is me playing (very badly) “In the Bleak Midwinter”, a wonderful Christmas song with lyrics (actually a poem) by Christina Rossetti, and music by Gustave Holst. However, I am still learning and I play really badly. Check for other versions for a better experience. Hopefully, one day I will learn to play it…
Here we are at 2022, but it feels more like 2020, a dejà vu feeling with “lockdowns” and new restrictions popping all over again. I was hoping for a less mad 2022, but I am not sure it will happen.
That said, here at Contrarium we have many plans. New upcoming books and a new Geist magazine coming in May.
NOTE: here at the website blog, from now on I will be publishing mostly news related to books, literature, film and other cultural projects. For longer and more interesting texts about culture, society or just personal thoughts, please head out to our Substack blog, contrarium.substack.com
Happy New Year!
