Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
11/7: fragment 31
This evening I'm at school preparing a presentation for tomorrow afternoon on Sappho's fragment 31. It's a piece of poetry I've loved for years, and so it seemed like a natural choice for a campus talk--but then I worried that I would be rehashing my decades-old thoughts about it. Of course, there will be some revisiting of ideas, but tonight I also found new things to notice and say, which has been fun (and a relief).
