My new book -- "The Cambridge Introduction to American Poetry since 1945" -- has a cover! (It's Grace Hartigan's 1957 painting "Billboard"). The book should be out in December, and is now available for pre-order here): https://t.co/zmxQRGyRrl

@xlorentzen I love how you framed this with Godard's "Contempt" -- great piece!

@saintsoftness I think that edition is great to have and really like Padgett’s versions

[Andrew Epstein @andrewepstein3]

@Steven_Hyden Good picks! Here's another interesting recent list of great guitar solos from Paste (for which my daughter Casey also picked "Impossible Germany") https://t.co/NbDGPknDux

In my advice column for @thedrift_mag this month, I wrote about attention, what it is and isn't, why we feel like ours is totally broken, and what you can do to fix it

@BorisDralyuk @PaulDryBooks Congratulations, Boris! It's such a wonderful and fascinating book.

[Andrew Epstein @andrewepstein3]

@vjoshuaadams Congratulations!

[Andrew Epstein @andrewepstein3]

@theraggedwood @bartlebytaco I don’t understand the objections to this nor how O’Hara wasn’t queer (a term in use in the 1950s and 60s), nor why this perfectly lucid reference to Michael Warner’s concept of (queer) counterpublics is seen as nonsensical and silly. Maybe this will help: https://t.co/lK5kj06NM2

It's neat to see that Sianne Ngai chooses the speaker of Frank O'Hara's "Lunch Poems" as one of "Three Pivotal Characters from American Literature" in this piece in the New York Times (alongside Pynchon's Oedipa Mass and Morrison's Sula). https://t.co/qZc2iTuMtH

@BorisDralyuk @JulianD86666247 agreed!

[Andrew Epstein @andrewepstein3]

@sm_osment Interesting! "Here" meaning Chicago?

❛ In the past I have declined to comment on my own work: because, it seems to me, a poem is what it is; because a poem is itself a definition...
