"A lucid and sometimes moving reminder of how Milton’s epic, for all its pre-modern erudition and doctrinal complexity, has continually been given new life by its modern readers." —Nicholas McDowell on Orlando Reade's WHAT IN ME IS DARK for Literary Review literaryreview.co.uk/awake-arise-or…

“He gives us his own view straight: ‘If you aren’t seduced by this poetry you aren’t reading it right.’ I imagine Reade is an excellent teacher.” 📖 Book of the Day: Lucy Hughes-Hallett on Orlando Reade’s Life of Paradise Lost newstatesman.com/culture/books/…

did a Rolling Stone UK job in June and still haven't been paid for it. never "called out" a company publicly in my life before (mortifying to have to ask for my own money frankly), and I'm prob yelling into the void, BUT it's Christmas so perhaps there is a miracle to be had lol
