Francis Mallmann, trans Peter Kaminsky: Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way
My favorite cookbook for now.
T.S. Eliot: Complete Poems and Plays
A love/hate thing for conservatives and modernists. For me, all the former.
John Milbank: Theology and Social Theory: Beyond Secular Reason (Political Profiles)

Richard Wilbur: Collected Poems 1943-2004
One of the two best living poets. This one is American.
Geoffrey Hill: Selected Poems
The other of the two best living poets. This one is English.
William F. Lynch: Christ and Apollo: The Dimensions of the Literary Imagination
Why should Harry Potter die? Here's why.
Owen Barfield: Poetic Diction: A Study in Meaning (Wesleyan Paperback)
A single proof that poetry possesses a closer grasp of the world than does science. Well, real poetry, that is.
Wendell Berry: The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry

Richard M. Weaver: Ideas Have Consequences
