Len Krisak on The Fortunes of Poetry

We are just over a month out from the publication of The Fortunes of Poetry in an Age of Unmaking.  The distinguished poet and translator of Virgil and Horace, Len Krisak, writes my publisher of his hopes for the book's salutary effect on our literary culture:​

Although the author and publisher believe James Matthew Wilson has written the sad tale of poetry's fortunes in our age of idol (and poetry idler) worship, it is really that great art's misfortunes he chronicles with wit and panache and Thomistic learning. Perhaps this stirring call to turn around a culture gone adrift means we will hereafter have to refer to the author as James Matthew Arnold Wilson.                                                                                                       -Len Krisak​

More advance praise for the volume will appear in this space in the weeks ahead.  Wiseblood Books will have the book available for pre-order soon right here.
