For this month's Re-Covered column, I've written about Alethea Hayter's pioneering group biography 'A Sultry Month', the plot of which pivots on a tragic event that took place in London 176 years ago today. Originally published in 1965, it's about to be re-issued by @FaberBooks!
“Like everyone else, Elizabeth was exhausted by the weather; earlier in the month she had complained to Browning that she could do nothing but lie on her sofa, drink lemonade, and read 'Monte Cristo.'” @LucyScholes on Alethea Hayter and the summer of 1846. theparisreview.org/blog/2022…

Yes, life has to go on, and I suppose a cup of tea does make it seem to be doing that more than anything

✂️ On #WorldCollageDay, we thought we'd a collage by Georgina Coburn, who features in issue 03. ✂️
'Circe' (2021) is part of a wider series of collages, which dances with themes of witchcraft, tarot, magic and mythology, and a female figure is always centre stage.
ALT A female figure wearing an animal skull as a mask approaches a woman wearing a black cloak. Wild boars surround them in a woods.

Went to Virginia.. She told me how she had discussed modern poetry last night with Blunden and how they had decided that poets today were too thin – not pouring out a flood of nonsense & poetry all in the same muddle.

Summer is in full swing. The days are hot but the nights are cool. The mocking birds sing off and on all night long and the honey suckle and magnolia are in bloom.. The clang and clamor of New York drops away like a last years dream.
– Zora Neale Hurston, Florida, May 8 1932

Whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

A very fine morning rather cooler than yesterday. We planted 3/4ths of the Bower. I made bread. We sate in the orchard. The Thrust sang all day as he always sings.

Maud Martha is a poetic collage of happenings that form an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary life: one lived with wisdom, humour, protest, rage, dignity and joy.

This #lesbianvisibilityday we'd like to simply recommend No Modernism Without Lesbians by Diana Souhami. It's wonderful. And also, The Second Shelf would not be what it is without lesbian writers, booksellers, cataloguers, customers, and supporters. ❣️uk.bookshop.org/books/no-mod…
