New work that has been a long time coming generates a particular shiver of anticipation.
Small Things Like These (Faber, October) will be Claire Keegan’s first new work since her novella Foster, still a bestseller 10 years on. Her publisher says: “An exquisite wintery parable, Claire Keegan’s long-awaited return tells the story of a simple act of courage and tenderness, in the face of conformity, fear and judgment.”

INTRODUCTION 
Developing a writing practice and a reading practice takes time. There are so many little things that have gone into my own routine to make it challenging, to make it inventive, and to make me feel like taking chances on language, on subject, on different poetic forms is worth all that time spent not knowing if it’s actually being successful. I think being a confident writer comes not with production or success, but by being unafraid to fail. It’s so damn hard to look at it this way, but there is an element of play to what we do. Poetry is at its best when there is an agility of mind and spirit in it, and if your practice doesn’t reflect that the work you produce will be one-dimensional. My reading practice revolves predominantly around translated works. There are so many English-writing folks that I admire and take great joy in experiencing their work, but I am most invested in reading translated poetry. Those poets not working in English have the greatest capability to knock me on my ass with their poems. That’s the piece of advice I give out most often to young writers, start reading translated works, or (if you have the talent for it) works written in their original language. Most of the real growth in my writing has come from experiencing work that has come from outside this country.

The Paris Review - Blog Archive Our Contributors' Favorite Books of 2020


Our contributors, from across our quarterly print issues and our website, read as widely and wildly as they write. Here, they tell us about the books that moved them most in this strange year. 
It’s a privilege, of course, to spend time thinking and writing about some of my favorite books that were published during this most absurd and solitary—most mendacious, violent, American—of years, but I’m grateful to the following artists, among others, for sustaining my spirit. I’ve come to realize how important, even more crucial than usual, short forms have been for me in a time defined by so much precarity. The idea of reading a story or a poem, simply that, has felt attainable, and the act has reliably provided me with nourishment. Danielle Evans’s second book of stories,
