I've extended the deadline & adjusted the wording on this scholarship after queries from prospective students.

Please encourage students interested in a funded PhD on poetry in either 18c/Romantic and/or settler colonialism & Indigenous sovereignty to get in touch!

Brian's 2024 essay in the 1830s book

This is very sad news indeed. I had the pleasure of working with Brian for the 1830s book that David Stewart and I brought out a few months ago with cup. Brian wrote a terrific essay on lithography and the comic image. Brilliant work and a joy to work with.

I replaced my teenage Leaves of Grass, which had its pages falling out, last week. This new one, that Peter Riley has with OWC, already looks well used. I can't go anywhere without it. 'WORD over all, beautiful as the sky!'
