“The Scrapbook is a sunlit, sleek and compelling novel that reminded me of the work of Annie Ernaux and Deborah Levy, a gripping tale of first love, laced with a backstory of dark family legacies and historical conscience. I read it in one unnerving gulp.” thebookseller.com/rights/jon…

"British Romanticism and Peace is a timely, pathbreaking book, arriving at a moment when peace, past and present, remains a pressing matter." Many thanks to Andrea Haslanger for this thoughtful review of my latest book, British Romanticism and Peace. tinyurl.com/2p8an6m9

Really excited to hear about Evan Kindley's new history of the New York School of Poets. This account is much-needed and Kindley is the ideal person to do it.
Some big news: I'm writing a group biography of the New York School of Poets for @AAKnopf! This is pretty much my dream project and I'm immensely excited about it

My paramour is now a published fiction writer. He wrote this story inspired by his love for Venice. It’s coming out in the New Quarterly. It’s a lyrical, mysterious story, and I am proud!
Happy to see the proofs for my new short story, coming out in early 2023 from @thenewquarterly
