We are working on a remembrance, but we cannot overstate the influence of #FredricJameson on Duke University Press. We have made his articles in our journals freely available through October 31. "Postmodernism" is our all-time bestselling book.

A while ago, I found a strange and beautiful literary artifact—the missing tape recordings containing the drafts of Reinaldo Arenas’s last book, Before Night Falls. I wrote about this treasure hunt (and the treasure) for @nybooks online!

This collection is GREAT and everyone should preorder it.
last year, I'd given up on the idea of having a book. This year, I turned 55, and I am both shocked & happy to have a collection coming out in one month! I'd be very grateful if you'd consider pre-ordering @stillhousepress:stillhousepress.org/stillhou…

Last month, @smathewss came to Iowa & spent two days with Luis & me, including long conversations, a movie, grocery shopping, & dinner in our home. I’m v grateful for this profile @nymag @vulture, which includes the most beautiful description of Small Rain I’ve seen. @fsgbooks

Dreamed of publishing work in @coppernickel for years. So happy this new poem, "Jubilee," came to rest there. What an issue, esp. the cento-like composite on the back cover! (Ignore the haze of my camera, my souvenir from falling into a river in Iceland--another story.) 🌿
