"The Collected Poems is an essential addition to every Tolkien scholar or aficionado’s shelf...its existence is a reminder that a truly humane postmodernism needs something of the Professor’s genius for subcreation." - Michael Lucchese buff.ly/ycbqVp5 @ubookman

"Each poem is carefully placed and formally varied, weaving lyrics and more narrative pieces together into a cohesive book of poetry. Best of all, Shindler doesn’t overstay his welcome. He sings well and leaves us ready to hear some more." @DanRattelle

"Edward II: Did a gay love affair spark a 14th-Century royal crisis?" by #NickLevine: bbc.com/culture/article/2025… via @BBC_Culture The Marlowe play is powerful when put on as #ChristopherMarlowe wrote it, not when done as #DerekJarman wished it to be.

Edward II: Did a gay love affair spark a 14th-Century royal crisis?

A new revival of Christopher Marlowe's pioneering play about the 14th-Century King of England puts the spotlight back on his relationship with his male "favourite" Piers Gaveston.

I'm pretty sure the gun is in the correct spot. Is this how they really see us? 🤣

Another zinger by @amjuster. And no, my middle initial is not "A" (unless it was changed in witness protection...)

Arion highlights author A.M. Juster. A selection from his Aristophanes’ Gerytades (well, sort of...) appears in our newest issue, now in press. You can learn more about A.M. Juster and his interesting journey to Gerytades here: antigonejournal.com/2024/02/….

Later this morning I am being interviewed for the @TheAthenaeumRev podcast about #Gerytades. It's a fine journal that has been very supportive of my work over the past five years, and it would be worth your time to check it out.

So I have been doing Twitter for a long time now & I have never asked for feedback, so I suppose it's time for me to open up a thread for thoughtful, carefully couched suggestions that respect my notorious fragility. Go ahead...

Had a long dream that we published a great heroic crown of sonnets by @amjuster with a glaring typo in the title and page footers. Was relieved to wake up. It's the editor's equivalent of the one about having to take a final exam for the class we skipped all semester.

The literary establishment is inbred and smothering; evading it through creative use of the Internet is our best hope for excellence.

"Japanese Maple in January" ran twelve years ago. This morning a giant rabbit jumped on the wall next to that maple and started nibbling on its branches. I called my useless springer, but she was too happy curled up next to my bride to respond. firstthings.com/article/2013…

Japanese Maple in January - First Things

All spring she brushed aside my arguments / that it was cheaper and would make more sense...

Thanks!!! It's a poem with no end-rhyme, but internal #rhyme in each line to keep it moving.

#ElizabethBishop Dana's tweet makes me feel good about my 17 years between my first book of original "serious" #poetry and my second. I'm like a plague of locusts...

Elizabeth Bishop published only 90 poems in her lifetime, as well as 8 short stories and a few memoirs. In his new book, Jonathan Post observes, “No 20th-century poet has gone so far with so little, has made such a virtue out of scarcity.”
