Electric Literature - Announcing the 2023 Shortlist for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction - Electric Literature

Extremely excited that Spouseperson @rblemberg is a Le Guin prize finalist!!

electricliterature.com/announc

Doubly so that it is the Birdverse short story collection from Fairwood, I feel like this book has gone a bit underappreciated with RB's other books being out this year, BUT IT IS SO GOOD and I am so happy.

"in exile,
I read, it is best to link
redemption to prayer,
so that prayer
becomes redemption"

love this:

“But Mosley said the best part of his conversation with the Times was when he told the interviewer that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, who wrote for Marvel and DC Comics, “are Jewish writers and they’re much more important” than Bellow and Roth.”

(for the record I love Henderson The Rain King and Sabbath’s Theater just as much as I love This Man, This Monster. Need it allllll.)

This is going to be an thread, similar to what we had on Twitter.

First and foremost: the Jewish Poetry Project is an imprint of
@BenYehudaPress, so we'll talk a lot about our own titles.

But we're also planning on talking about many other things!

Let's take a look...

Hey fellow readers of @bookstodon ! I'm looking for your !

Right now I'm on the search for authors. Bonus points if they happen to also be authors. What I'm NOT looking for is stories. I've read a lot of those in the past, and at this point it feels like for me to read more. I will read all genres, but romance and horror are usually bottom of the list.

Thanks in advance!

Awesome review of Daily Blessings by Hillel Broder, from our Jewish Poetry Project imprint -

"a successful argument not only for studying the daf yomi [...] but also for thinking creatively and poetically about one’s religious life and studies."

Poem time!

Six-Year-Old Theologian by Robert H. Deluty, from his collection The Matter of Families.

Six-Year-Old Theologian

Uncommonly solemn
He sadly concludes
There’s one thing
God simply can’t do –
Have a birthday party
