At the close of every year, for over a decade, I have taken a moment to reflect upon the year’s publications. Like in previous years, my “most engaging books” list reflects what I found most fascinating / useful / generative in terms of form & content from the books I read in 2021.

Seek out these volumes; every one will reward the search (your local, independent, bookstore can help; an excellent choice as many continue to struggle under the pandemic). This is the cream of the crop for 2021, seriously:

These translations of Caudio Amberian, a 1st century CE Jewish poet and sophist, are remarkably prescient and provide “pataphysical commentary on a contemporary poetic. Rarely translated, or even acknowledged, Amberian was previously translated in Charles Bernstein’s Girly Man. With AMBERIANUM [Philosophical Fragments of Caudio Amberian] Charles Bernstein has returned these fragments and aphorisms to a contemporary moment, just when they were needed the most.

Charles Bernstein is the author or editor of over 50 books, ranging from full-length collections of poetry and essays to pamphlets, libretti, and collaborations, most recently Pitch of Poetry (2016), Recalculating (2013) and Attack of the Difficult Poems: Essays and Inventions (2011), from the University of Chicago Press and All the Whiskey in Heaven: Selected Poems (2010) from Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Press, 2011). Bernstein is Donald T. Regan Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania.
