It seems that Typepad has updated their "typelists" menus. At least for books. Even smoother than before. Nice job, Typepad. It's so nice when the software gets easier with each iteration.
Around school, though, every conversation I get in is about ecocomposition or ecopoetry. This isn't a bad thing, simply surprising and a bit gratifying. My colleagues seem interested in what I have to say and this comes as a shock. I'm still trying to live my evangelical upbringing where if god didn't say it, your opinion on it doesn't matter. And by "god says it" we mean that you can find it in a book. Oh, I'm going to go off on a tangent here if I'm not careful.
Last note: I've been reading Audre Lorde in and among all the other things I've been doing. The general lack of punctuation underscores her control of the poems, but that lack is also a stylistic mark for a lot of her generation of poets. I'm most interested, so far, in her view of the city in her New York Headshop poems. I like the way she engages the setting for the poems. It's a mind at work artistically within a particular place. I'm curious to see if that continues with her work.
Very last note: D and I went to see Neko Case last night at the Rococo. Good show, and we got some socialing in before the concert. We're signed up for the Old Crow Medicine Show in two weeks. Stop by our table. We'll drink very large bourbons.
