So nice to see A Different Order of Difficulty: Literature after Wittgenstein @uchicagopress.bsky.social on @vjoshuaadams.bsky.social Adams's very cool list of recommendations in Annulet's Year in Reading list for 2024. "A landmark in philosophy and literature" is now my favorite blurb ever. 🙏 VJA

Here are some books I really loved this year—Jjjjjerome Ellis, Ronald Johnson, Aditi Machado, Lindsey Webb. Plus an absolutely bananas article by Thomas de Monchaux on the Tuscan column and the new Wegman's in Lower Manhattan:

For @annulet.bsky.social‘s 2024 Year in Reading recommendations I wrote about @groupers-eyebags.bsky.social ‘s NITROUS OR MY VELVET KNIFE (Secret Restaurant Press). Go get your copy of her chapbook at www.ebay.com/itm/39584422...

This looks good (I just bought the book) @annulet.bsky.social annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Peter-Myers-...

Recommend this whole issue of Annulet. And Alicia’s editor’s note—just go read it now.

It is such luxury to write about a single poem. I'm thankful to @aliciawright.bsky.social for including me in @annulet.bsky.social's Critical Circle this summer, to write about a poem I’ve been contemplating since we published it in @ecotonemagazine.bsky.social: Lisa Williams’s “Anthropocene.”

Intriguing review of PDAO starts with a discussion of @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social BIG FICTION . . . @annulet.bsky.social annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Dan-Irving-O...

Good people of this site, Annulet shares with you first that we will be at the AWP Bookfair with some exciting news that only will be at first announced via pamphlets at our table, T1154, which we'll also be sharing with the fantastic Send Me Press.

My Sunday afternoon (EST) plan is to make a cup of tea and watch @eireannmor.bsky.social's zoom lecture "When you get someplace new, learn to read the landscape like an alphabet," hosted by @annulet.bsky.social. See you there? annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Linkages-Lec...

Watching @eireannmor.bsky.social’s first @annulet.bsky.social lecture in the company of The Littlest Tabby.

Suggestions should you be thinking in this direction...it's giving season...it's giving review season...

Issue (6) is ready to be read! annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Issue-6

With great excitement, Annulet is announcing Éireann Lorsung as the inaugural Linkages Lecturer!

If you review this for Annulet...you'd be...utterly heroic...

Our inaugural Linkages Lecturer will be announced a little late, but soon—we're looking forward to sharing the news with you all!

<3 thank you for loving and saying so

Weird to think that the next issue of Annulet is just two months away...if you've been thinking of sending...or getting around to reviewing that book...time to turn thought into action!

Imani Elizabeth Jackson, from an excerpt of "Land mouth" Read the whole excerpted sequence here: https://annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Imani-Elizabeth-Jackson-excerpt-from-Land-mouth

Just under one week left to prepare your proposals to be, or suggest, the inaugural Linkages Lecturer! Full info below! Word spread spread word word spread! https://annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Linkages-Lecture-Series

Annulet thought about live-blueskying the DFW piece but found that also to be a disappointing project, no fun even for reactions :(

Annulet is looking for nominations for our inaugural Linkages Lecturer! Two lectures, one per week, broadcast online, anytime at the lecturer's preference during the fall. We're offering a modest honorarium and publication! More info here: https://annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Linkages-Lecture-Series

Today is a good day to read Julie Carr's prose reflection excerpt from her current project, "The Garden," on history, a late-Cold War childhood, aesthetics of U.S. empire, family, and consequent feelings, interrogations... https://annuletpoeticsjournal.com/Julie-Carr-from-The-Garden-Section-5
