Let's all raise a glass to the fine folks at Nexus: The International Henry Miller Journal, whose newly minted volume 6 is now available to order! Nexus is always an excellent source of new writing on Henry Miller and this one is sure to be another great issue.
I'm pleased to see that new primary source material has been made available in this volume with Miller's "What India Means to Me" and a letter exchange between Miller and his father. I'm also looking forward to "Writing the Underground" by Maria Bloshteyn, whose recent book on Dostoevsky and the Villa Seurat circle was fascinating. Richard Kostelanetz, whose anthologies of modern poetry I've long admired, also has an article in this issue. And Eric Lehman, who has previously guest-blogged for this site, investigates the influences on The Colossus of Maroussi.
Copies of Nexus 6 can be purchased directly from the Nexus website via PayPal. Here's a quick look at the complete table of contents:
