My @ObsNewReview poetry picks are Karl O'Hanlon's Herron’s Dream Diary @ShearsmanBooks—some say surrealism has had its moment but this wildly imaginative debut proves otherwise—& Christopher Reid's slow yet striking Ordinary Morning Sunlight @FaberBooks☀️https://t.co/nVUounuLrZ

Every translator's experience? The translation of Culhwch ac Olwen will be published by @ShearsmanBooks in January. @GPCdictionary #Welsh

JOHN MILBANK Some Speaking Swirls 2023 ⁦@ShearsmanBooks⁩ I first read MILBANK teaching at a Catholic college: as it happened the enfants terribles in charge didn’t approve. This poem about the mystery of grace—a superb lyric—mystery upon mystery, lead us on, “keeping pace.”

JOHN MILBANK Some Sweaping Swirls: Poems ⁦@ShearsmanBooks⁩ Google JM, with Pickstock defender of Radical Orthodoxy; pick up this slender book and…An almost naive coherenc of image and concept. Wisdom literature? Color unifies a long stressful life. Ego pales. Good is.

Liquid Sand/Arena Líquida marks a major moment for Mexican poetry in English. It presents the first substantial bilingual selection of work by Jorge Valdés Díaz-Vélez, translated by Sue Burke and Christian Law-Palacín.

3. MEDLARS 2023 pub by @ShearsmanBooks a full length collection which makes even plainer, the absurdist, tragi-comic nature of the human situation. Erudite, tactile, musical, & subversive, there's a clear love of language & nature & shrewd takes on human fuckwittery. Nuanced, too
