After a period of dormancy due to a change over of web service provider over three years ago and an automatic, botched migration to another web platform by said provider which proved impossible to navigate and resulted in numerous links being inactive, and an unnavigable website, The Recusant has finally been reconstructed in WordPress, and this is the result. Now titled The New Recusant, to emphasize this rejuvination, it is a continuation of The Recusant (started in 2007) as an ongoing permanent literary archive of poetry, prose, polemic, monographs and reviews, all with a broadly socialist character.
