New episode up now. I set out to understand how and why Ezra Pound's final published poem ended up in an obscure magazine in Buffalo. The whole story was bigger and weirder than I could have imagined. open.substack.com/pub/aidanmry...

Gearing up for Cleveland, Sept. 13, where I'll speak with Zach Savich, Caryl Pagel, and Madeline McDonnell about research and the collision of creative and critical practices.

Why did some of Ezra Pound's final cantos first appear in print in Buffalo (a full year BEFORE the unauthorized Ed Sanders Fuck You Press publication)? Why did this happen twice, in TWO of Buffalo's little magazines? I'll be trying to sort this out on my Substack in the weeks ahead. Follow along.

Don't miss this upcoming conversation in Buffalo -- James McWilliams and Leo Lensing on their new scholarship around the poet (and Leo's high school friend) Frank Stanford.

Rereading To Anyone Who Ever Asks ahead of our conversation on May 17. This passage about Connie Converse could have been about Andy and Cindy. And it could have been about any almost-there artist in any time. Very excited for these books to collide in Brooklyn.

NYC friends - come out to KGB Bar tomorrow night for what I think will be the first time I've read poems since 2019. I'll also read (just a teaser!) from my book I Am Here You Are Not I Love You ahead of the official release next month (Buffalo May 16 / Brooklyn May 17).
