- Last night I heard a reading by the Bucks County high school poet laureate. The kids are alright.
- That villanelle in the beginning---wow.
- What a great conversation this was! Jehanne Dubrow and I read poems together and talked about her latest collection, Civilians, as well as her new craft book, The Wounded Line: A Guide to Writing Poems of Trauma. Such good stuff. www.buzzsprout.com/2516618/epis...
- Finally a Larry Levis collected works. I've already ordered it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

- I don't know why that photo of the Chinese sculpture keeps coming up. I shot it in Hong Kong on a work trip, but I pulled it off my website years ago. Word Press is weird.
- So I took a quick look at the study discussed in the Chronicle Review that lambasts the field of American Studies because of what articles are published in American Quarterly. Why did I do it? Maybe because I'm home sick with COVID (day 4) and I'm bored. Anyway... 1/5

View full threadFinally, the authors of the study--neither of who has a degree in American Studies--have taken upon themselves the task of telling folks what American Studies majors ought to study. I guess that would sort of be like me telling my colleagues in the Business school what they ought to teach. 5/5
- English/Writing departments are long accustomed to non-readers/writers telling us what they think we should teach 🙁
- "Who can blame them for hating us and our petty desire for answers..."
