@_SeanJohnson on @KSPrior's new editions of HEART OF DARKNESS & SENSE AND SENSIBILITY: "Prior articulates a Christian mode of reading that [approaches] any work of literature on its own terms, as a testament to the nature of man, the world, & their maker." tinyurl.com/qu9wn8u

I received the new issue of @FormaJournal yesterday and it’s beautiful. I have a question for those of you who also received it: do you see the house and/or trees of Andalusia in the peacock’s eye on the cover? If so, that is an amazing artistic detail that makes me happy. 🦚

Many thanks to @JonathanHRogers for loaning us his words and his affection for the great Charles Portis.

The Impossible Task of the Poet: Walker Percy on Language, Despair, and Communion by @FormaJournal formareview.substack.com/p/t…

"Only a holy fool is willing to, as Peterson puts it, 'fumble about in a dark room, feeling for the shape of [a new song],' aware of both the brokenness and the beauty in what they create."

"Many readers will wonder whether Ransom is a poet worth troubling over, these decades after his death..."

“Or what I could not mean to see, but saw;
What forced itself upon me with its oddness
As if to show that nature’s jerry-rigged,
Holding its giant bird head high with pride...”

RAILSPLITTER, the new book from Maurice Manning, is out today from @CopperCanyonPrs. His poems are from the perspective of the recently assassinated A. Lincoln. The book is wonderful. You should get it. Here's a clip from my interview with him about Lincoln's sense of humor.

This might be my favorite podcast interview I have done of the hundreds. It’s up there anyway. We sat in his writing shed, while the bugs and birds sang, and chatted for a long time.
In the newest ep. of the pod @dakern chats w/ Kentucky poet, Maurice Manning, about his new collection, RAILSPLITTER, which is told in the posthumous voice of Abe Lincoln (out next week from @CopperCanyonPrs). Listen now wherever you get podcasts. buff.ly/2VqdgQI

ICYMI: @AnthonyMBarr on Meghan O’Bieblyn's INTERIOR STATES for @FormaJournal.
"I wouldn’t be surprised if O’Gieblyn could teach an excellent seminar on Augustine. But that ability has never been enough to speak to the actual state of our souls."

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

We've been at this show for a while now, and have had a few requests to create a Twitter account where people can follow along, so here we go. We will share each day's show here, as well as point you towards worthwhile poetry-related content (interviews, articles, news, etc.)

Last week I interviewed @aroberts_andrew about his excellent new biography of Winston Churchill for the FORMA pod. An interesting man talking about an interesting man. Worth a listen. shows.pippa.io/5a8c9c4c7780d…

Why not end your Halloween evening with some classic crime fiction? The inimitable @jwilson1812 has written a guide to the last 100 years of crime fiction to help you on your way. Me? I'll probably settle in with some Ross Macdonald. formajournal.com/article/the…
