#bookreview: Harold Rhenisch on Catalogue d’oiseaux by @chessbard for @booksinbc:
“Catalogue d’oiseaux is a long poem that portrays a pair of lovers in their forties remaking themselves into a couple, despite distance threatening to divide them.”

For the #Oppenheimer folks out there, Aaron Tucker's Y (@coachhousebooks) is a lyrical novel about Robert Oppenheimer grappling with his own morality as he develops the atom bomb (imagined black and white sequences are up to you, reader).
