Someone asked me why I wasn't blogging about my time at Colgate. What's there to say? I'm reading and writing. I'm teaching. I'm enjoying good meals.
*
A couple of days ago I emailed David Trinidad to tell him how much I'm digging The Late Show. It's a very good book. I hope to teach it soon.

Finished new poem.

They Come Home in a Torrent of Laughter and a Nubian Eunuch-Powered Litter: Shane Book.
*
Verge by Morgan Lucas Schuldt is ready for purchase. Here's Carolyn Forché's blurb:
With Verge, Morgan Lucas Schuldt voices a radical corporality, raw-nerved and searing, in sleight-of-language play and pure sound as deft and inventive as that of Joyce and Mallarmé. This is a rare and profound achievement: the body at the level of the phoneme, a gestural and musical dance of flesh, and an altogether new work.

Landscape with Saguaros: Keith Ekiss.

David T. is also a very good teacher. His workshop was the first one I took at The New School.
