We’re teaching Moby-Dick in our American Novel course. Yesterday, we had a gam. Here is my contribution. . . all about my Moby-Dick anxiety and obsessive reading habits.

Here are some images from the weekend blizzard:

Zoe before the Storm.

There’s a 4Runner under there.

The Shiffle turned me on to this–the solution to all our New Yorker caption contest woes:
“Christ, What an Asshole!”

I’ve added a “New Poems” section to my poetry page. Check it out.

I caught the Moles not Molars reading at Bambi Gallery in Northeast Philly last night. Fellow Penn PhD student and California Poet, Julia Bloch, was featured along with Massachusetts fiction writer, Sara Jaffe. Julia read from her series of epistolary poems, Letters to Kelly Clarkson. We were also treated to an impromptu reading by Andrea Lawlor, who read a story from her zine, Orpheus, part of the Pocket Myths series. Also in attendance was filmmaker Bernadine Mellis, a regular contributor to the Pocket Myths series. Keep an eye out for these talented women artists.
