Drove up to Beacon today to see Matt Harle's current sculpture show. Closing will include music performance. mattharle.com/home.html

Got an email with the subject “Nu?” and I really better hurry up and figure out what my discretionary publishing budget for the rest of 5786 looks like

As a Jew, seeing a giant flag with the word "nu" on it is hilarious

Just published: "The Broken Heart is the Master Key," the new poetry collection from Baruch November (@bnovember). Introduction by Alicia Ostriker. Available direct from Ben Yehuda Press and the usual places.

Chodesh tov!

Another Rosh Chodesh is here — with a little luck, we’ll finally have a new Nu before the end of Tammuz — Chodesh tov…

We didn’t get a minyan before Rosh Chodesh; I’m looking into how much it would affect costs to have a double parsha for Nisan/Iyar…

A thread of some of our poetry releases! from last year. For Jewish poetry month we have a buy two get one free sale on all our poetry volumes right now! Only till the end of the month! (Pictured: Jewish poet out walking to meet other Jewish poets. Probably, right? 1/6

The new @thenureview.bsky.social arrived yesterday. I read it today. I read aloud from Catherine Gonick, When I imagine biting into a lemon, saliva starts up. When I try thinking as if I believe a benevolent God exists I feel a bit warmer ... My father-in-law answered, "Is it that simple?"

Good book

Happy Proust’s Favorite Book of the Bible Day

Nu

נו?

2 of my new years resolutions have not gotten off the ground yet. It's been a heck of a Jan-Feb so far. But I am still wanting to do them. Begin studying Hebrew Make myself some zines

We are not close to a minyan yet. If you’ve been thinking about submitting, now is the time to send work to thenureviewofbooks at the gmail

Gonna eat these up tonight

Terman has two poems in Nu #5, by the way

Chodesh tov! Still getting a minyan together for Shvat…

My copy has arrived. I read it cover to cover while walking the dog. It is all wonderful. But, oh, Dana Levin.

Ok now we’re ready.

Issue five is almost here

Issue five is almost here

With a little luck (and support from a few more sustainers) issue four will be in mailboxes by Chanukah

Joanna Fuhrman in the latest @thenureview.bsky.social I think it's the best so far, #3. And Fuhrman's piece is wonderful.

We have had some unexpected delays but issue three *is* slowly filtering into the world, featuring a masterful essay by Jehanne Dubrow on the art of Michel Nedjar.

If you're in NYC on 12/10, check out this screening of the documentary BURNING OFF THE PAGE about the life and work of American Yiddish poet Celia Dropkin (1887-1956.) The film "celebrates her unabashed writing about the female body and sexual liberation." yivo.org/Burning-Off...

I started work in earnest on issue four today — Kislev is coming, which for me in the past has mainly meant סופגניה עת רצון

Do you sometimes wonder why things happen the way they do, then see something extraordinary take place that otherwise would not have happened? We got an email I didn’t dream would come through. Holders of existing copies of issue three, you have collector’s items! Updated issue three to follow soon.

Finally! got all my books on shelves and fairly well organized. Had a bit of a panic when I could not find issue 1 of The Nu Review! It was not anywhere! But then I spied a little stack of chapbook sized items and there it was. !whew!

It’s coming, just got to sell a little more hair

Here, as a treat — the cover of our much delayed Marcheshvan issue — painting by Archie Rand: Job’s Wife Sells Her Hair (2022)

Issue three has been delayed — but it’s almost ready… Marcheshvan! What are you going to do

Marcheshvan, am I right

Yehoshua November

Here we go

We’re mailing! I have a few stamps left. If you want a copy, you know what to do (or you know if you read this quoted post)

Issue one is still making its way to readers, but it’s time to get galleys together for

Dreamed in Yiddish (achievement unlocked). Admittedly it was only a dream where I was cleaning a coffee pot in a chain drug store to avoid going out into the air when the temperature had dropped forty degrees suddenly, and it was one phrase( גייסטו דו), but it surprised me all the same

Sunday, no postal delivery service unless you’re Amazon… When am I going to get to my readers? Nu???

Here we go

Chodesh Tov! We’re getting ready to print and mail the magazine — if you’d like one of the first copies of issue one, send your mailing address to [email protected]

Issue One coming soon (before Tishrei)! Send contributions (poems, prose, art, funds maybe even?) to thenureviewofbooks at the gmail.

Issue one is getting there

From poetic responses to the weekly Torah portion to a biography of Ariel Sharon. Only $90, which means (via some quick mathematics) only $10 per book! "The trouble was I wanted too much joy." —Else Lasker-Schüler (pictured) 3/3

Issue One coming soon (before Tishrei)! Send contributions (poems, prose, art, funds maybe even?) to thenureviewofbooks at the gmail.
