Celan - from the wonderful translations of McHugh and Popov. The Wreck of the Solstice seems apt.

Um, wow. How's this for a warning shot? "Last night, the House of Representatives voted on H.R. 9495 —bill that would have given Trump the power to investigate and effectively shut down any tax-exempt organization based on a unilateral accusation of wrongdoing — without any explanation required.

I’ve been reading Tomas Transtromer again. His movement is so supple and rapid, it can be thrilling. Translated by Bly - always something a bit awkward but still one of my favorite translators

I recently started working at the Magnes Collection. The other day I saw a newly acquired Haggadah from Metz, 1757. Designed like Talmud with core text and commentaries. Wine stains. Gives me the chills

Here's a thing: as I peruse people's profiles, looking for fellow writers, I notice that poets identify as poets and fiction writers seem to just identify as "writers." what's that about?
