We are saddened by the passing of John Nichols, acclaimed local Taos author of such classics as The Milagro Beanfield War and The Annual Arsenic Bog Fishing Contest. We honor his legacy in the Collected Works community and fondly remember the warm conversations we were so gifted to share with him. Here he is from our visit last year, signing his memoir, I Got Mine.

So long, dear friend.

Emily Wilson's much anticipated translation of the Iliad has arrived!

"Of all the questions this poem raises — about war, death, rage and grief — none is more resonant than this: What does it mean to be a man? And specifically, what does it mean to be a man during conflict? How do you respond when your city is attacked, when your honor is questioned, when your loved one dies?" - Natalie Haynes, New York Times
