I have been trying to reread John Rechy's "City of Night" in front of our upcoming publication of Thomson's "City of Dreadful Night" and I am just going to admit queerly: I AM NOT ABLE TO FINISH IT. It is just too dated for me at this point in my reading life.

In some good news, we had our first reprint— E. Briskin's "Orange" with its gender and genre-bending furrowed reading design is a book we wish did not drop right into the pandemic lockdowns— but one we are so delighted people are finding! https://t.co/KbHueAsu83 https://t.co/ehTpsP7MgP

@Cait_onthe_Luce I don't know why this just popped up on my Twitter today, but I just went to SPL and got a copy to read. I am so recently insane for Edith Wharton!

#WITMonth!!! We recommend this haunting novella, "The Promise" by one of Argentina's most important writers, Silvina Ocampo. We've been dealing with Alzheimers for years, so this book went right to the heart. Translated by Suzanne Jill Levine & @JEPTranslator on @CityLightsBooks. https://t.co/PkvSm8Yn7P

All weekend, I keep coming back to wonder at this incredible opening line in "Mortal" by Laura Riding Jackson—  "There is a man of me that tills." From the new edition of "The Close Chaplet" by @udpbooks. Interestingly twisty and puzzling, in the very best ways. https://t.co/qXz6OTdap3

@Carrie_Etter @melinda_mueller “Mary’s Dust” is a masterclass in form and her narrative poem, “What the Ice Gets” on Shackleton is amazing, but now hard to find. https://t.co/A8btSU8ojM
