Jenny Mitchell’s poem was the unexpected but necessary center of the conference. Formal and topical brilliance. You should order her book.

I talked my way onto the 'Shakespeare and the Sea' Conference programme @NMMGreeenwhich to perform my poem 'Lost Child' just before the keynote by @OldFortunatus. Her generosity & that of the organisers was amazing. My new Shakespeare idea is growing. 🦋

[Owen Kane @OwenKane]

@JennyMitchellGo @OldFortunatus I loved your poem and have order the collection! Hoping to add it to course lists in the future. So happy you joined the conference. And thank you for being one of the few to hold open the door for me and my broken arm

This special issue of Spenser Studies is out! Companionable Spenser pairs him with other writers. (I write about Spenser and Barthes.) So many interesting pairings. Read them all! Thanks to the lovely editors. 💜

[Owen Kane @OwenKane]

What a fellowship!

So excited that this amazing Spenser Studies special issue has just dropped! All props to the editors @nam__rao, Joe, and David for assembled such a wide-ranging group of essays. Really honoured to have my first ever article (on S. and Ranciere) included. Cannot thank them enough
