We are extremely sad to hear of the death of our revered long-time author David Lodge. Our thoughts are with his children and family. His influential place in the history of British letters will endure through the wonderful body of work he leaves behind.

How I love Shiki’s poetry.

mushi no ne wo
fumiwake yuku ya
no no komichi

Trampling through
Insect cries, I create
A path through the fields

[translation by Donald Keene]

There’s so much I want to say about John Burnside; writing about and teaching his fiction (particularly Glister) changed so much of the way I think. But right now I’m too sad, so what must be one of his shortest poems.

❛ I write because I’m trying to work something out. For myself. I don’t have any answers, but I am ready to speculate.

We're very sorry to hear about the passing of poet and writer John Burnside. Here's one of his wonderful poems, 'Late Show'.

The Cornish, too, have been feeling this for years.

The industrial belt around Kansai Airport (Osaka) reminds me of Necromunda terrain…
