The Hiroshima Library—an itinerant reading room of 200+ books on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—is coming this spring to Seay Music Library at Colorado College. I'm seeking/accepting donations of books, magazines, etc. no matter their condition. Message me if you're interested.
Asymptote has some amazing suggestions for TBR piles around the world. I wrote about Chi Zijian’s marvelous novel of Evenki reindeer herders, The Last Quarter of the Moon, translated from Chinese by Bruce Humes @milkweededitions.bsky.social

Bunch of sinews just dropped. Newest you will be able to find.
I have a poem in the new @new-sinews.bsky.social, thanks to @illepitaph.bsky.social. The poem — Grains of Rice — is long, complicated; traces inheritances, internalizations, and overlapping violences in my family's history (in Guangzhou, Hiroshima); and takes place at a Wendy's in New Jersey.

[ . . . new_sinews issue9 cover preview . . . ]
coolly compulsive neo-epistolary novel ... chockfull of comically curlicuing texture ... with the amazingly assured artificiality of the "letter-ness" branching into all manner of reverberant riffs regarding the present day's ridiculousness
He could not remember where he had heard it before, the idea of one side of the Pacific as dream, the other reality. But which was reality and which dream?

another gem from the archives—& to my mind somehow maybe *the* essential anchor-text orienting everything new_sinews has published ... a poem sprawling amazingly assuredly into its own vast uncategorizability ...
