New from Yale University Press and critic and biographer Jonathan Bate, Radical Wordsworth: The Poet Who Changed the World.

New from Yale University Press, I Live In the Slums, by Can Xue, translated by Karen Gernant and Chen Zeping. In Can Xue’s world the superficial is peeled away to reveal layers of depth and meaning. Her stories observe no conventions of plot or characterization and limn a chaotic, poetic state ordered by the extreme logic of philosophy. 

“Time now to write of that rare thing, originality – the opposite of imitation and its outlier, plagiarism. It’s the pearl among white peas.” – Nicholas Delbanco, from his new book, Why Writing Matters, new from Yale University Press.
