Out now: Last Stops of the Night Journey by Milo De Angelis, translated from the Italian by Patrizio Ceccagnoli and Susan Stewart. A graceful (and bilingual!) collection that feels particularly lucent, insistent, searching and direct.
Now we plummet toward the original spark
now the first-born face takes shape
» Five poems from LAST STOPS OF THE NIGHT JOURNEY by Milo De Angelis, tr. by Patrizio Ceccagnoli and Susan Stewart «
The book comes out April 14 from @archipelagobooks.bsky.social!

From the judges: "Proctor’s translation . . . its consistently fresh and contemporary tone and rhythm, makes the book come alive for readers today. Her introduction is especially remarkable for soaring beyond the usual necessary context about author and book into its own mythological register."
Minna Zallman Proctor’s translation of Pavese’s The Leucothea Dialogues has been awarded the @penamerica.bsky.social Translation Prize!

Declan O'Driscoll on THE MONROE GIRLS:
"The narration is a series of discoveries we share with the bifurcated narrator, Breton, and our perplexity only increases as we stumble towards each disclosure in this slyly humorous and subversively inventive novel."

I thought I’d recommend A Parish Chronicle, by Halldor Laxness. And unlike my recent Laxness favorite, Salk Valka, which was a big bruiser, I thought the little story of an old church disappearing and reappearing might be just the thing. @archipelagobooks.bsky.social
In October, we'll publish Walking by Sevgi Soysal, translated from the Turkish by Maureen Freely. Helen Mackreath wrote in The White Review that "reading Sevgi Soysal today restores the volatility and violence of female concerns." Pre-order is available now. archipelagobooks.org/book/walking/
"It is the work of a writer with nothing to prove, only to tell." — Salvatore Scibona lithub.com/a-saga-in-mi...
Two raves for the new Halldór Laxness, A Parish Chronicle! "Laxness is one of the great fabulists of modern letters." — Sjón, 4columns 4columns.org/sjon/a-paris...

Emmelie Prophète's Cécé, translated by Aidan Rooney, is an LA Times best book of 2025.
"Cécé can be read as a portrait of contemporary Haiti, a parable about influencer culture or a distressing study of exploitation . . . Prophète’s vision is piercing."

PREPOSITION reviews SAY FIRE (@archipelagobooks.bsky.social, 2025) by @Selma Asotić.
"...Asotić pushes past this concern to a broader and more damning implication of institutional intellectualism, including poetry, in systems of neoliberal ideology..."

A revelation, a jolly existentialist nightmare, a comic freakout of the highest order . . . Sean Wilsey’s translation delivers Pirandello’s scary, hilarious delights with a remarkable touch.
