2/28: internet radio play
A student sent me a link to "A Drop in the Ocean," an Odyssey-inspired radio play taking place on a submarine, and it was great to listen to it today in my office.
2/27: two chapters
...of The Lost Books of the Odyssey by Zachary Mason, which I'm preparing to teach tomorrow. I don't think I love the whole book (will need to spend more time with it), but I really like these two chapters--"A Night in the Woods" and "The Book of Winter"--and I hope the students will enjoy reading/thinking about them, too.
2/26: planning
...the upcoming assignments for the picturebook version of the Iliad we'll be reading next in the Trojan War class.
2/25: posted
Oh the Trollope commentary for The Three Clerks is finally complete and published! I love Trollope, and I enjoyed reading and thinking about The Three Clerks a lot--but the work on this novel (which started in spring 2015!) got complicated because of some wrinkles with a student in summer 2015, and then there was a ripple-effect of delays, both practical and psychological. But now it's done.
2/24: a company of three
...of us at quiet writing this afternoon.
And while I was writing I had a little (start of a) break-through connecting Twombly's Iliam series and Alice Oswald's Memorial.

2/22: revisiting the slow professor
I read The Slow Professor over the summer and discussed it with some colleagues in the fall. Today I met with a different group of colleagues to talk about the book, and it was great to hear their thoughts and enjoy an hour of engaged conversation together.
