I'm excited to have a "Guest Column" in The Seaboard Review of Books w/a blog essay on Auden's "A Certain World: A Commonplace Book." I've always adored his personal collection of aphorisms, maxims, quotations, and poems. Pls read about it @theseaboardreview.ca! open.substack.com/pub/theseabo...
In case you were wondering how Editor-in-Chief James M Fisher came up with the name of the site, it comes from this Nova Scotia-based transport site, whose trucks are seen all over the maritime provinces.

Book promo post. A textured orange-hued background with a book cover overlaid it. The book cover is for Starship Librarians and features a humanoid librarian in a retro-coloured spacesuit of oranges, creams, and teal, shelves books. They are framed by a window looking out onto space. Behind them is a bookcart with thrusters instead of wheels. Additional text says Opening Lines. "A... young man with a sweat-stained Engine Tech's uniform... strolled up to the... Bonavista's main circulation counter. " Lisa Timpf from "The Space Librarians' Code"
The librarian in Lisa Timpf's @lisatimpf.bsky.social story "The Space Librarians' Code" faces the closure and destruction of her ship's library, by government decree.

Thanks to @theseaboardreview.ca for publishing my tribute to #ThomasBecket. This was definitely one from the heart. May all resistors to tyranny be so meddlesome. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/thomas-bec...
Highly recommend Sandlos and Keeling's surprisingly hopeful book from @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social about Yellowknife's Giant mine disaster (slow-motion over decades but still disaster) - which I got to review for @theseaboardreview.ca

“Like Water for Weary Souls is both a compulsive mystery and an immersive experience of Sudbury’s history," says reviewer @melaniemarttila.bsky.social.
