You know how you worry over the words of a tough conversation, in the aftermath? Who said what, and how, and why; did they mean it? Note the epigraph from Edmund's soliloquy in Lear where he mulls over the meaning of being a bastard. #poetry #sonnets #shakespeare #constellation

Recently, one of our marketers discovered that Amazon does not allow "queer theory" to be included as a keyword in enhanced product descriptions (the fancy graphics you sometimes see at the bottom of a book page on Amazon).

🧵 The situation in Brooklyn is not so different. For a full year, we've been bargaining for a contract that delivers decent wages and work conditions for workers at this leading independent publisher. Here's an update…

Today @amazonlabor filed ULP charges @NLRB @NLRBGC (Region 29) against @amazon. Unsurprisingly Amazon is in non-compliance with the National Settlement Agreement Notice and posting requirements. We demand that the Board immediately file for default judgement against Amazon.

'Venezis’s magical realism reminds me ... of Homer’s Iliad, where horses might talk, gods kick down walls, or a sentient river wrestle with a man, but where the human condition is rendered with a clear eye' (@ae_stallings) the-tls.co.uk/articles/land-…

"Why are so few contemporary US #poets writing atheist poetry?" So Bill Knott asked, and so we'd like to know: are YOU a writer of vivid, human-hearted #atheist #poetry? The Knott Prize is again open for #submissions, until 10/31: clarion.submittable.com/subm…. We have #faith in you.
