John Wilson's Year of Reading 2019


The Book of the Red King is on John Wilson's booklist at First Things. Hurrah!

      Hey, thanks for looking up those praise poems on "Journal of Mythic Arts." Pleasant to know someone is reading them...

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
