    The approved sessions for Kalamazoo (the International Congress on Medieval Studies) have just been announced.

The founding editor and editor-in-chief of Word Hoard Press, Richard Littauer, plans to publish the journal online and include original compositions in Old English, Old Norse, and the like, as well as translations.…
