today’s #ModWrite is a slow return to a UK time zone, but reflecting on the wonderful papers at MSA 25 @moderniststudies.bsky.social & the joy of presenting strategic incompetencies with @becimay.bsky.social, @vjoshuaadams.bsky.social, @jamesreath.bsky.social, Megan Quigley & Jess Payn

Don't know if I'll be able to make it to the UK next summer — hope so, tho, bc this is exactly my field of study: weird modernism and/or the intersections of modernism and weird fiction.

A few notes and highlights from my MSA 2025. The Baroness and Djuna Barnes; Marianne Moore; H.D. and Bryher; Anticolonial manifestoes; South Asian modernism. And: remembering Sejal Sutaria. @moderniststudies.bsky.social @ria4983.bsky.social www.electrostani.com/2025/10/note...

Did you know the next MSA Conference in the UK will be a joint conference with BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social? And if you can't make it to the UK next summer, there will be opportunities to present in online panels and roundtables at this conference. More information in the CFP:
