We all hate to see summer end, but don\u2019t despair: we bring you our Fall issue<\/a> by way of consolation! And there\u2019s so much to love.<\/p>\n

James Fenton<\/a> on journalism, shrimp farming, interior decoration, gardening, poetry, opera, and more:<\/p>\n

\n

What I had got from my teaching experience in the Midwest was a feeling for the enormous pressure on people in the poetry world to conform to an entirely negatively defined notion of poetry. It doesn\u2019t rhyme, it doesn\u2019t have any rhythm one might detect, and it isn\u2019t written for the ear but rather the page. It seemed de-natured. These poets had forgotten the lips and the limbs, the dance, the whole bodily element\u2014that had been banished. The manifesto was a piece of devil-may-care. It was actually anti-Iowa rather than anti-American.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Roberto Calasso<\/a> on life, film, and publishing\u2014Italian-style:<\/p>\n

\n

The publisher after all is considered, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, a rather eccentric entrepreneur or impresario\u2014a businessman in a very improbable field. But, if he is successful, then he is a good businessman. The author is the successor of the saint, everyone respects the author. So to put the two elements together is highly suspicious in a way, especially in the rather moralistic Protestant countries. In the Latin countries, less so.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Plus! Fiction by Jim Gavin, David Gordon, Ottessa Moshfegh, Peter Orner, and Sam Savage. Poetry by August Kleinzahler, George Seferis, Bernadette Mayer, Jason Zuzga, and Guillaume Apollinaire. A portfolio by Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman, and collages by Jess.<\/p>\n
