Delight to announce that my article on Frances Wolfreston's annotated almanacs has been published in The Seventeenth Century. The almanacs were acquired by @bodleianlibs in 2010 and are the only known life-writing by Wolfreston.

Not much for the ol' Twitter anymore, but have many irons in the fire:

-Chapter coming out next year on @bobdylan's song-poetry
-Writing & shopping around my own poetry
-Shopping around a book
-Managing County Board campaign
-Trying to save former Rte 66 restaurant built in '68

Well-done to Gail! Can't wait for my copy. Next up? First trade non-fiction book on Wolfreston. Watch this space. :)

@rhetorician I had my most scathing reader comment ("Infelicities of style and awkward Americanisms") put on a T-shirt.

First #earlymodern #tattoo, from a book I once catalogued. The dogs look like my basenjis and I decided to go for it.

This is so cool.

One of my most exciting finds: a single page folding almanac pasted into a scrapbook of correspondence and booklists of Christopher Hatton. Thanks yet again to the Bodleian library and its ever helpful staff.

@paul_salzman @bkadams I believe "the wits out weted" is a broadside ballad, "Wit out-witted, or, The cheater cheated." The Bodleian has a digitized copy.

@paul_salzman I have a list of full transcriptions if you might find it helpful in your research. My email is my last name, first name (no spaces) at Gmail.

https://t.co/6FDMPgzD3w My book has its own page on the Brill website, so it'll actually exist! 'Involving Readers: Practices of Reading, Use, and Interaction in Early Modern Dutch Bibles (1522-1546)' will be published coming November, in open access! #firstbook #inreadershands

A true Renaissance woman in her tastes, the incomparable Katherine Blount! #HerBook

Reading James Shirley is a trial. Just thought everyone should know.
