Excited to announce that my first book, Romanticism and the Poetics of Orientation, has been shortlisted for the Wordsworth Circle's Marilyn Gaull Book Award! I met Marilyn the year before she died, and she gifted me a wagon full of books which I still own and treasure.

Absolutely nowhere near my primary research area, but I somehow stumbled upon the project (w/ Dae Young Kim). It was a tough learning experience, but I am glad to see it's out in a reputable place now.

About | Literary Arts Fund The Literary Arts Fund advances support for the nonprofit literary arts field toward ensuring creative writers’ contributions to American literature for generations to come.

Enormous news for US literature. A new, Mellon-led, $50 million fund for nonprofit literary orgs and publishers. Closest thing we've ever had to it was Mellon and Wallace in 1991, which, in today's dollars, was still less than half this. Open call begins Nov 10. literaryartsfund.org/about/

And they're fucking dope. No reason for them to go this hard.
