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
7/19: unexpected overlap
Imagine a Venn diagram. One circle is a found poetry project using Emily Dickinson's poems (something I'm working on this summer as a little lark). The other circle is my ongoing research on Midas. I wouldn't have thought those two circles would intersect, but today I found two poems by Dickinson which refer to Midas and the golden touch. A happy discovery, interesting to think about (the poems are curious), and nice to come upon Midas connections by a different and unanticipated route.
