Today is the anniversary of the publication of Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy, for which he was largely pilloried. In fact it was the final straw for Hardy; he turned to poetry and never published another novel. The background story to this can be read at Today in Literature. I would add the story James Joyce used to tell of sending his little brother, Stanislaus, to the local lending library for a copy, which he was denied when he asked for "Jude the Obscene." The promised new issues, #'s 159 & 160, will begin going out in two weeks to contributors after some much needed r & r, with the rest of the run following shortly thereafter. As a result of the r & r, there will be no posting next week. I may try to sneak another in this week if the time presents itself. Meanwhile, today's selection of archived poetry comes from, Lilliput #128. The last two works deal sumi-e art, a Japanese style of brushwork.
