We’re withdrawing! This platform has increasingly been used to spread misinformation, stoke division and incite violence, and we’d rather carry on our conversation elsewhere. Biggest thanks to our followers here! Come say hi on Bluesky (pnreview) and Threads (carcanetpress)! 👋🏼

Today we're sharing an excerpt from @byrobinepmyers' translation of @daniel_lipara ‘s poem Like Night Inside the Eyes that was published in the newest issue of PN Review! To read more of the poem, and the rest of the issue, subscribe via the link below. pnreview.co.uk/cgi-bin/scribe…

I took my dime out of my mouth and myself out of that museum, onto a street where the August sun poured forth an argosy. This week's Substack comes from our first ever issue! Two poems by Robert B. Shaw in Poetry Nation Number 1, 1973: open.substack.com/pub/pnreview/p…

'I spent my childhood chained to a high sense - High and irremediable - of a duty that was immense.' This week on the Substack, from PN Review 60, Harry Matthews 'Leaving the Beach': pnreview.substack.com/p/leaving-the-…

"When I was a child, I moved my pillow to a different part of the bed each night because I liked the feeling of not knowing where I was when I woke up. From the beginning I yearned for the nomadic life..." Diary of a Satyr by Stanley Moss, PN Review 186. pnreview.substack.com/p/diary-of-a-s…

Stanley was a close friend of PNR's editor Michael Schmidt. Michael's most recent poetry publication is named after their relationship: Talking to Stanley on the Telephone(Poetry Business, 2021). They're pictured here, Michael on left & Stanley on right. He will be sorely missed.

We are deeply saddened to share the news that Stanley Moss, poet, longtime friend of the press & close friend of Carcanet's MD Michael Schmidt for decades, died on Friday 5th July in New City, N.Y., aged 99. He will be greatly missed. RIP Stanley. 🖤 carcanet.co.uk/np47.shtml
