And you did right after saying this!
Well deserved. It’s a great book.
Back at ya
I am here too.
(I was on a delayed and crowded train this morning and had plenty of time for observation)
Delightful that an object as consistent as the subway strap inspires so many different approaches:
two fingers in, two fingers out
three fingers in, pinky out
three fingers in, index out
four fingers stacked
vertical fist
one finger hook
wrist drape
but never, in my experience, the thumb alone
"In a small town, each of us is a biography, a row of photos, a continuous thread, our identity affixed to a story, to a history. Three, four, five moments in a person's life that, in some way, make up enough of a sketch to identify us."
~ Federico Falco, THE PLAINS, tr Jennifer Croft
Uh oh, that car is going to slip and crash
I was just talking about and recommending Refuse To Be Done with one of my thesis students this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing you in Baltimore!
one of the neat things about submitting to the fancier lit mags is that by the time they send you a rejection all the cells in your body have been replaced with newer cells, they're not rejecting you but as past version of yourself, how quaint

Time is a flat circle.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
As the ice age recedes, the strata of ancient civilizations are revealed
Now playing
Maybe we flew too close to the sun
You can pre-order my debut novel Dooneen on @bookshop.org here. It's my sixth debut novel. Pre-orders, as I'm sure you know, are essential to the healthy continuance of society. If you don't pre-order right now, you're basically destroying everything beautiful.
Congratulations!
I hear it's a real headbanger

Great to see this for the press

I should perhaps mention that 'frost heaves' are caused by cold weather causing upward swelling of soil as frozen water expands from below. Why walls in this part of the world need regular mending . . .
All morning the loud blizzard winds had me anxious about a tree I was worried would fall, one already scheduled for removal, and now it has fallen, fortunately without hitting any houses.
For @bostonglobe.com, I wrote about how a snowstorm can bring out the best in Boston, while the aftermath often inspires the worst. This paradox applies to many places. Why does the solidarity seen during acute disasters often fade as soon as it's over?

The blizzard has been knocking our electricity out briefly every few minutes for hours, and the constant cheerful chorus of devices reactivating is beginning to drive me mad.
yeah, pretty much the same here today
