JOHN KEENE

xmas eve

in case you want to order xmas gifts that will be a couple months late

here & here

Thank You, Kalamazoo

We had a wonderful time in Kalamazoo.  I hope you got a copy of the amazing broadside

that Nikki did.  Thanks, Adam and all who came from near and far.

Hölderlin

You need this. New from Omnidawn.  Imagine a poet

being a supreme influence on Adorno, Rilke, Derrida,

Nietzsche, Heidegger, Blanchot, and Lacoue-Labarthe--

who also roomed with G.W.F. Hegel. That's this.

Chernoff & Hoover's translations are wonderful.

Get it here. 

Thank You, Lambs

Thank you all so much for coming to the Poetry & Chicago Convocation.

One count put the audience at 135.  I was stunned with gratitude.

Thank you all who came, listened, and visited with the poets.

Jen Karmin, Lisa Fishman, Lily Brown, Quraysh Ali Lansana, John Keene, and Abe Smith

all read extraordinary work. And I read a poem by the President-Elect.

It's been a surreal week in Chicago. Thanks for sharing in it. Now to bed.
