Love this, Robert. You make me want return to writing more reviews and critical articles myself. Really good to read your thoughts on Max Jacob and the poème en prose. @wakefieldpress.bsky.social

PS When I emailed John Ashbery many years ago (he first got in touch with me after a Reverdy translation of mine appeared in PNR - ‘who IS Ian Seed?’ he asked )to let him know I was going to translate MJ, he said I should remember his poèmes en prose are ‘beautiful’.

What’s this? It appears to be some sort of volume. Yes. That was a rhetorical question. Is it obtainable? Yes, and soon! How soon? Possibly tomorrow. You can check with the publisher. _You_ can check with the publisher. Yes. Let’s do that. Fine. You first. No, after you. #IvorCutler #HoorgiHouse

I’ve been rereading Kafka’s The Trial (in Willa and Edwin Muir’s translation). I can’t quite believe I first read this half a century ago when I was in my teens. I think this is my 7th reading. The book has lost nothing of its power. And it still shocks and moves and makes me laugh at the same time.
