Whoa! This is so exciting!
Such a relief that the ship is now safely on its spot. Impressive work by colleagues at @kult-hist-museum.bsky.social and others! #Oseberg #MuseumoftheVikingAge

The loss of Meanjin is devastating news for Australian writers and readers. Always meant so much to see my work there. Some of my best experiences of being edited. An entirely avoidable disaster.

A new book of poems by Susan Howe is an event, & I could not be more excited about this one.
(The cover image is a woodcut from The New England Primer --representing the letter T via "young Timothy learnt sin to fly." Emily Dickinson clipped it out & pasted it into a letter to Susan Gilbert.)

I'm relaunching my website, Set Yet Speaking, which will host my translations of medieval literature.

In this first post, I discuss why I'm giving this another go, why translation matters, and how a short extract from Beowulf inspired the name of the site.

Rǫgnvaldr Kali Kolsson (c1100–1158), Earl of Orkney (& – slightly surprisingly – saint), died #OTD, 20 August. He was a fine poet, & Ian Crockatt has translated many of Rǫgnvaldr’s poems; this is from CRIMSONING THE EAGLE’S CLAW (Arc, 2014)

Another two sauces for fish from Balthasar Staindl's 1547 cookbook. One is traditional, the other may well be the oldest recorded German recipe using lemons.

The final upcoming medieval film I know of is Robert Eggers' "Werewulf", written with Sjón, his co-writer on "The Northman". "The Northman" is the story of Amlóði, as told by Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1150–1250).

"Werewulf" will be in Old English, and is set in the 13th century.
