I came to Hollywood Forever to pay my respects to Alexander Voloshin, and to tell him—or so I would like to believe—that his work, so long neglected, now has a chance to bring a few sighs and smiles to readers in the language of the country where he rests.
A great essay by one of my favorite practitioners of the genre, focusing on Ellison’s own extraordinary nonfiction.
A beautifully realized story. Neffson’s first novel, NO FUN, is forthcoming from @milkweededitions.bsky.social.
Charles Gullans (1929-93)—student of Yvor Winters, mentor to Timothy Steele—spent most of his career at UCLA and wrote with great dignity and passion about the loneliness he experienced and witnessed in Los Angeles as a gay bachelor. Something of Cavafy in this poem.
A poem for my grandmother and Lucille Ball, from the June issue of Australian Book Review—with enormous gratitude to the dazzling Felicity Plunkett and the other editors.
It would be silly to hope for this odd little book to become a runaway bestseller. If it reaches a handful of people and brings them some measure of pleasure, I would be more than satisfied. When I see a reader’s response like the one I just spotted on Goodreads, I rejoice.
Damn happy to have this poem land in the gorgeous new issue of @nimrodjournal.bsky.social! It's from my next book, The MORPHOLOGIST, which is about reading & death, among other things, forthcoming from Milkweed in 2027. 💀Grateful to editor @bdralyuk.bsky.social & all involved...
Don’t take it from Andrey Kurkov and me, take it from @newyorker.com:
“Kolechko is a kind of anti-Poirot … In Kurkov's hands, his efforts offer both serious meditations and page-turning diversion.”
