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
1/4: coming out of my cocoon
I've been in a sort of cocoon between Christmas and New Year's: I was resting from the semester, from the trip east, and from the difficulty of the first anniversary of my father's passing; I was also needing to finish grading and to bring a translation project to the next stage of its development. So I kept mostly to myself. But now I'm feeling ready for more contact. I made arrangements to have lunch with a friend on Tuesday, Chris and I met up with our fellow Heron Tree editor for lunch today, and I had a nice email exchange with the editor of another literary journal.
