@aufgehenderRest Charles Taylor takes on a big dollop of Heidegger (not to mention Hegel) and literally ran for office for the NDP, to the left of Pierre Trudeau. At the same time, he's in love with Jena Romanticism, as you may know. So there's plenty of room for nuance and precision.

Hey, cool, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association (@sfpoetry) has nominated The Full-Moon Whaling Chronicles for an Elgin Award!

You can get FM, which @WSJ calls "the most imaginative piece of young-adult-adjacent fiction I have ever read," here https://t.co/LX8SJlQ22T

@BorisDralyuk Congratulations, Boris!

If, like me, you’ve lost interest in our culture’s glut of lyric poems, give The Full-Moon Whaling Chronicles a shot: a novel written in rhyming couplets and one of the @globeandmail’s best books of 2023 https://t.co/LX8SJlQ22T @biblioasis

[James Pollock @JamesPollockPhD]

@PaisleyRekdal @DianeSeuss Okay, but don’t most poems have at least one volta? See Michael Theune’s book Structure and Surprise.

Thrilled that I've been granted a sabbatical by Loras College for the Spring of 2025. I'll be writing a new book of poems and two critical essays on contemporary poets. Very grateful to my colleagues who read this year's applications.

"SOFT POWER accomplishes what I thought was no longer possible. It is political without being prescriptive... it is sure of itself without being sure of its conclusions."
GREAT review of @stewartjcole's SOFT POWER in The Fiddlehead!

Loved doing this interview with @aAh_mag in the U.K., in which I opine on poetry prizes, treating objects as persons, ambiguity, and the honesty of the critic.

This was one of my favourite #TheSealeyChallenge selections from last year - the #poetry, the imagery, the transcribing and the photos (including a "mirror" image)! The collection is DURABLE GOODS by @JamesPollockPhD (2022 @VehiculePress) https://t.co/oKuMOJS3B9

@JDVance1 Literally no one is calling Prigozhin a liberal reformer. Swing and a miss!
