Haven't yet read the review, but whether it's positive or not, I am glad these books are, despite Covid's interruptions, now getting attention.

[American Historical Review @AmHistReview]

The December 2021 issue of the AHR includes @_Liza_Black’s featured review of Nicole Dawn Strathman’s book Through a Native Lens: American Indian Photography and @GidleyMick’s book The Grass Shall Grow: Helen Post Photographs the Native American West. https://t.co/hNub6B0ygk

Following Oliver Dowden's speech on how wokery is undermining Western values, my piece for @NewStatesman on why the bigger threat is right-wing populism.

@CheyetteBryan Good wishes, Bryan

This is an inspired, penetrating take on our deliberately smirkful PM.

Sad to hear this. Carter will be remembered as a fine person -- such good company -- and his work will live on. Some of his poems were central to the special Native American issue of Stand magazine @Stand_poetry

[Mick Gidley @GidleyMick]

@RobrtDaleParker So sorry to hear this. Carter Revard both made fine poetry himself and encouraged others. His work was central to the Native American special edition of Stand @Stand_poetry RIP

[Mick Gidley @GidleyMick]

So pleased about this sale. THE GRASS SHALL GROW, about half-forgotten 30s photographer of Native life Helen Post, has been almost lost in the pandemic. She and her pictures, preserved @theamoncarter , deserve better.

I reviewed it for SOURCE. In an art history manner, it covers a lot of ground, some missed by previous commentators. It sees Evans' work as an extended meditation on history

[Andy Adams @FlakPhoto]

More than one person has recommended this new Walker Evans book from @PrincetonUPress. It looks intriguing. Drop me a line if you've read it? More here: https://t.co/8HkizrNfVk

Received my copy. As usual, the extraordinary range, this time inflected by Covid context work. Enjoying Sanjeev Sethi @sanjeevpoems3, Anne Stevenson, Stan Smith & many others. Proud, too, to see my hybrid (memoir/poem) about brief encounters with Ted Hughes @tedhughessoc

There are some fascinating Native American books in this sale. I am pleased to see my works on Helen Post & Edward S. Curtis among them.

[Univ Nebraska Press @UnivNebPress]

BOARDING SCHOOL VOICES is both an anthology of mostly unpublished writing by former students of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School and a study of that writing.

A rare tweet from me: https://t.co/3NwuBhzssd, the great new(ish) site for authors to sing the praises of books close to their hearts, has put up my recommendations of "the best books on American photography": https://t.co/jgTnw7Og9L

[Mick Gidley @GidleyMick]

@theblkgaze As well as those already added, how about Marion Post Wolcott & her sister Helen Post? #HelenPost #NebraskaUP

[Mick Gidley @GidleyMick]

Yes, but why do so few of us, comparatively speaking, remember Rinehart?

[American Literature @amlitreader]

Agatha Christie born today 1890. Mary Roberts Rinehart is often described as her American counterpart. https://t.co/NXriDj7Ubz
