I recently received in the mail a copy of Kent Johnson&#8217;s newish book from Shearsman, Homage to the Last Avant-Garde. It&#8217;s something of a selected poems in miniature, collecting work from other books like Epigrammititis and I Once Met, as well as one poem, &#8220;Into the Heat-Forged Air,&#8221; which first appeared in the last issue [...]]]></description>

What the hell does emunctory* mean? You have here gone to far, sir, even for Buckley. I even heard one Roman turn over distinctly in his grave as the word went by and whisper to his neighbor, &#8216;Does that &#8216;emunctory&#8217; [...]]]></description>

Eliot Weinberger’s essay “Mandaeans,” which appeared in the May 2007 issue of Harper’s Magazine, contains the following incorrect statements that vilify Mandaeans:

Forrest Gander has a nice (re)consideration of Eliot Weinberger&#8217;s An Elemental Thing, &#8220;the best book by our best living literary essayist,&#8221; over at Harriet. (My contribution to the &#8220;scant attention&#8221; the book received after its publication may be read here.)
