Alice’s recent Japanese poems in LM pair well w/@LI_ALSCW’s recent Japan Issue. + Elijah Blumov, our Translations Editor, released an ep. of his podcast Versecraft partly on haiku: “The Art of Epigram Pt. 2” (also including Basho translations by another LM editor, Ethan McGuire).
As Mother’s Day is Sunday, I thought of this section from our EIC’s first editor’s note (I think of it too, as my own daughter has been lately requesting books that “sound a certain way”). It’s early, but Happy Mother’s Day!
A great place to start with the issue is our fearless leader Emily Grace’s first editor’s note as the new LM editor-in-chief: “This Seedling-Love” https://t.co/C0AIIN2nnl
Thank you, @newversereview, for featuring @LM_ALSCW & @LI_ALSCW in this month’s “Rusty Paperweight.” Readers, go check out NVR as well as the intriguing items they’ve linked to in the “RP.” You will find them worth your time, I think!

But wait! Who is this suspicious character listed as the author this month? Ok, we have some investigating to do. It appears he is sharing himself much too freely.

I’m grateful to Literary Matters for publishing my sonnet sequence, “An Odyssey Triptych.” Many thanks to Emily Grace, Cameron Clark, and the rest of the team at @LM_ALSCW! I’ve attached the first poem in the sequence. The rest are available in the new issue, along with a host of wonderful poems, translations, and essays.

“you thought / you were so smart, and in a way you were, / because you loved poetry and Beethoven and apples / but why did it take you so long to learn to drink coffee / and eat breakfast?” —Barbara Hamby @LM_ALSCW https://t.co/NpgiLlJPWi
