“I feel like some kind of quantum ghost. The book writes itself once I get started. I know exactly what belongs and what doesn’t.” For “Women in Translation” month I recommend my last translated title, Aase’s Death, by Aase Berg. Here’s an interview with Aase: paulsemel.com/exclusive-in...

I wonder if other writers are pulling away from submitting to journals with reading fees. It seems some have upped the cost to $5. I understand that Submittable has likely increased their fees & journals are in a bind. But I'm feeling the money pinch & am making careful decisions where to submit.

I am perpetually behind with things, but I want to thank Julia Fiedorczuk and Paweł Piszczatowski for this invitation to talk about my two of my favourite subjects: air and Keri Hulme (and water--so I guess that makes three.) I'm also excited to visit Poland and to test my Polish.

"Nuclear Deal" by Nilufar Karimi is honestly an incredible book of poems. I don't think I've read anything for a while that stays with me long after I have put it down.
