Hyperlink Archive (no. 1)
A collection of online articles for your enjoyment, edification, and disregard
For a while in 2022, I’d been in the habit of posting links on the Poets Union website, mostly articles that enabled a political and economic analysis of the lit world. In the last year or so, I’ve collected a huge number of these that never got posted. So I’m going to start posting those here, and hopefully this becomes a regular feature of the blog. Once I get through the backlog, it will be more focused on new and current articles. I’ve listed these by date, with newest first.
