Register now for the 2024 Inklings Festival in Wichita. On Sunday afternoon, I will give a talk entitled The Violent and the Numinous. This lecture will focus on Arthur Machen’s “war mythos,” which concludes with THE TERROR.
Poet Linda Lobmeyer will read excerpts from her upcoming book, When I Forget the Words.
Joshua Alan Sturgill will explore the cosmology of Lewis and Tolkien.
NEW POETRY
Original Buoyancy by Sturgill
Books for the Autumn: Why do tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people take pleasure in the reading of fiction which is both crude and false? I am not going to answer the question, partly because I have not quite made up my mind on the subject, but chiefly because I am sure the real reply would run into pages—or volumes. But when we are next tempted to boast of our civilisation let us remember that a truly civilised people would not have accepted Miss Corelli as their most popular author.
