Honestly, sweetheart, it is Poetry Magazine that should be grateful and excited to have you in its pages. The poems here are astonishing creations, and the whole book seems to come from another world. There is nothing else like it.

Thank you, everyone! POETRY's editorial policies remain baffling, since they took the ones I thought were least likely to get in. I think it helped they are prose poems.

Rick, I am always being recommended that Calasso book. I have read his first, The Ruin of Kasch, which I can't recommend although certain sections were very good.

Carl, my book will be on pre-order I believe by the end of the year. It comes out in April. Let us hope for reasons far more important you will no longer be shut off.

Sarah-Jane, I was recently in a bookshop and flipped through The Missing Pieces, a book by Henri Lefebvre. It's a great book written as a long list poem about cultural artifacts that have been lost or were never realized. Finally, a Lefebvre I really like! But every so often there'd be a reference to a work from the late 90s or early 2000s, and I thought how strange he died in 1991. Well it is a different Henri Lefebvre who doesn't go out of his way to tell he is not that Henri Lefebvre. I still have not read Writings on Cities, which people tell me I would like.

I read that Calasso book recently, and found it mythologically vertiginous, which I think was its deliciously deliberate intent.

I’m working way through Calasso’s series. I haven’t read them in order and am now reading The Book Of All Books which is his reading of the The Bible. The one he did on Baudelaire is good.

Congratulations, Walter. I recall reading at least one of these, and like all three. I look forward to reading them all as they are intended to be read (ridiculous transatlantic postage prices permitting).

David
