@coleraine12065 I only have the Collected Poems here, and wrote a lament in honor of his Lament, but tell me what you like? Also looking at Michael Palmer's letters to Zanzotto, then found Zanzotto (thrilling) here. It's Mark Strand's library so pretty good. And Gunn's rhymed couplets...!

@valerie_reads @nyrbclassics @unburiedbooks Put all of Magda Szabo's books on this year's list! Okay, at least The Door or Katalin St, plus Dorothy Baker and quiet torture favorite Skylark by Dezső Kosztolányi

Vivid moment with Handel's Trio Sonata G Major 399 Op 5 No 4 III while reading about Dante (anything, anything!) via Woolf and the wonderful Erich Auerbach, on NYRB https://t.co/80eQWCBgOc

@raagatodi @civitellaitaly (and will find it) -- I read snippets of Ciaran Carson's Inferno essay online and want that, too.

Out of stock

Goodness, the variation and misleading meanings in these cheeky, opaque, oversimple, incautious translations of Psalm 90 so much less lovely than King James and "labour" loses the tone it needs https://t.co/r6Y0lKbRKl

Books going from 22 to 23: Augustine's Confessions, Genet's Lady of the Flowers, the Divine Comedy, and Magda Szabo's new book out in March. And every book of poems, and now 23 will include a deeper reading of Stevens again.

@BigMeanInternet Love Cesaire. Valery's poems OR prose. Reverdy: NYRB has a book transl by many poets, of which Marilyn Hacker creates the most exciting versions. Baudelaire, because I like no translations so getting several would interesting if you're learning French.
