This giant rock is actually a literary Neverland, complete with a king. Redonda, as @mhingston explains in his new book, ‘Try Not to Be Strange,’ has inspired a whimsical kingdom of writers and other royal wannabes @biblioasis #MichaelDirda https://t.co/IwpLOyyf3w

#Dirda loves #WHAuden's essays too; I bought a first edition for $1 43 years ago at #SecondStoryBooks.
Auden was more than a great poet. Two books remind us why.

In these gloomy, divisive times, does anyone care about books? #MichaelDirda does. Books emphasize interiority, encourage empathy, require thought and are meant to foster rational argument -- things we all need. https://t.co/7bpDzECbb5

Poetry matters. Two new books remind us why. Edward Hirsch’s “The Heart of American Poetry” and Brad Leithauser’s “Rhyme’s Rooms: The Architecture of Poetry” give reason to slow down and savor language #MichaelDirda @LibraryAmerica @AAKnopf https://t.co/4yRqPt5iSz
Splashy mystery novels are not for me. Here’s what I’d pick instead. I prefer the clever who-and-howdunits of writers like Will Thomas, Guillermo Martinez and Stuart Palmer. #MichaelDirda @AuthorJuliaT @leoysubrayo https://t.co/biy2g7JAfw
New from #MichaelDirda -- I like unusual books. Here’s what I’d read — if I had time. If I could, I’d delve into undeservedly forgotten novels and works of intellectual history and explore the arcane, the magical and more https://t.co/klBloDdnn9
