a related question for writers and aspiring writers: how do you convince (or remind) yourself that you have something to offer when the world is so full of other art already and the big problem seems to be getting it to the right readers?

This essay has already generated more hate mail than anything else I've written from the Star Tribune. Which is, I think, telling ... though I'm not sure of what.
Hitler was bad.
An essay that, you know, I didn’t think I’d need to write.

Help me fund epic poem GULA: A Poem For The End Times on BackerKit! A modernist/post-modernist long-form poem, GULA explores Carrion City, a place where the lost and forsaken end up and rarely leave -- a mirror city to the world of the beloved and treasured.

I feel like my biblical hebrew class has been re-teaching me English grammar the whole time
Still think about my Latin professor who 5 weeks into the semester realized that the class didn’t know English grammar well enough for him to be able to explain Latin, so the class suddenly became a simultaneous English grammar & Latin class
