Check Out My New Blog
The End of the Gourd
In the past year this blog has shifted its scope and focus to different questions, a different aesthetic, different interests. In short, for several months it hasn't felt like the same blog it once was. Not that I've lost any interest in blogging, I haven't. I have a new blog that I've already started posting on which will continue many of the ideas from here. Nevertheless, this blog has a lot of material from several years of my college/grad school experience--including some ideas that I still find very interesting to mull. I am very happy for all that this blog has provided me and my readers. It's been a fun journey. Please consider subscribing to the RSS feed on my new blog! (link above)
I also am working on putting all my poetry and other creative work online--to be available sometime January 2010.
