Well, I found you through High Theory during Criticism, Ltd, and just was thinking today while finishing the most recent episode that your podcast is one of my favorite ways to remind myself of what Iā€™m in this for as I tread water through my first semester on the tenure track. Thank you šŸ™šŸ»

A pretty solid haul at the annual Centenary Book Bazaar tonight. (The [signed!] copy of King Bidgood will be a gift for our nephew this Christmas, the illegible pale blue binding is an early copy of Faulknerā€™s A Fable, and ā€œEncoreā€ is the title of the Shreveport Symphony Womenā€™s Guild Cookbookā€¦)

this is also the premise of almost all anti-Black violence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. such claims spur the KKK's foundation in "The Birth of a Nation"

Iā€™m so happy this poemā€”a dear one to me, which marks the moment in my book To Leave for Our Own Country that my wifeā€™s pregnancy is revealedā€”has found such a wonderful second home in these pages. 3/3

Steve Nelsonā€™s kind notes on rejections from the Paris Review years ago were massively important to my confidence as a writer, and when I heard he had left that journal to revive Northwest Review I got a submission together posthaste. 2/

There is something special about a journal that takes as much care with its physical production as with the literature and art within it. Itā€™s an honor and thrill to be in this issue of Northwest Review, the last under the editorship of Natalie Staples and S. Tremaine Nelson. 1/
