Ah, shit. RIP Fredric Jameson.

I did not usually agree with him—as a postgrad, one of my professors jokingly called me a “postmodern hardliner”—but still surprisingly often. He was eloquent and insightful and often brilliant. It was always a pleasure to read him, and think really hard about what he had to say. He will be missed.

Hopefully, if the world is good, there is a #Litcrit PhD candidate out there somewhere working on “Voice in the age of LLM”

I've spent the last two days reading and rereading Ishion Hutchinson's brand new book, a conversation with David Jones and British history. A book about the West Indian soldiers in WW1, intertwined with a tale of West Indian boyhood in the 1990s, this is the third volume of poetry by one of the best and most important poets of our time.

#otd in 1849, Sarah Orne Jewett was born. If you liked Ursula K. LeGuin's "Always Coming Home" (which is seemingly currently being reprinted everywhere) you should have a look at Jewett's "Country of Pointed Firs" which LeGuin admired.

This looks great! Anyone know if Peter Zarrow did the translation?

> ... though the enacted subject is a sad one, the act of performing it is joyous because it leads the poet to true equivalents of his feeling. In art a true equivalence (no matter of what) is always a joyous capture.
#JohnCiardi in #HowDoesAPoemMean made me think of #Camus in #TheRebel on #DespairingLiterature, that there can not be a #LiteratureOfDespair, We read for #JoyousCapture, I guess. #Poetry #Poem #LitCrit

You shouldn't try to read Thomas Wolfe while you're young and optimistic. You'll just set the books aside, calling them a vast emission of wordy, self-absorbed emotionalism. Instead, wait until you're in your fifties or later. Read his work then, and relish the satisfaction of having been right the first time.
