The Infinite Jest is now more than ever. Because I've been seeing YouTube videos from many BookTubers claiming the novel is … Continue reading The Infinite Jest: Now More Than Ever

The Collage As Story
The collage as story first was revealed to me in 2003. As I recall - there was an ad in the "want ads"* section of my local newspaper. A person (woman) was having a class in her condo about collage making. For a fee, of course. I thought why not? Because at the time I was … Continue reading The Collage As Story
My Space and Your Space
My Space, and your space - signal who we are. This fact has become front and center to me this year. I recently moved and am living in a house that is not mine. It's a very, very nice house.

Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
Recently I saw a classical musician's reaction to Neil Young's Cortez the Killer. Water filled my eyes. The song has always been one of my all time favorites. Young broke it out on his 1975 album Zuma. It is about Cortez, Moetezuma II, war and peace. In the 16th Century! Seems relevant given the state of … Continue reading Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
