"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 https://t.co/sykAapLOGZ @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

https://t.co/c31rbtDw0Q via @BBC_Culture The Marlowe play is powerful when put on as #ChristopherMarlowe wrote it, not when done as #DerekJarman wished it to be.

Comparing Ivy League schools to mafia families, Juster points out that Dean and Don are only a vowel apart. Considering Juster's wit, I would point out that wordmaster and swordmaster are closer still.
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: https://t.co/q5KnbMpQ2I.
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...
"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.
