If your take on "Weird Modernisms" includes cannibalism, consider submitting an abstract for an MSA 2026 panel I'd like to propose: "When Humans are On the Menu: Cannibalism and Modernity." Check it out below! @moderniststudies.bsky.social @modernistudies.bsky.social

For this #ModWrite, I found myself dwelling on one sharp detail in The Years—a dancer’s tight shoes—and how Woolf uses that fleeting image to unravel the pretence and pressure of social hierarchy. Small moment, big resonance.

#modwrite: I'm getting started on researching Leonora Carrington's The Hearing Trumpet (1974) via ecocritical/ ecofeminist/ posthuman lens. I know Natalya Lusty's, Susan Suleiman's, Gloria Feman Orenstein's, Gabriel García Ochoa's work, but any suggestions for eco-readings of Carrington are welcome!

A bit late for #ModWrite this week because I was at my Monday 9 a.m. volunteer student book club. To the Lighthouse! Ecocritical Woolf! Students literally shouting NO WAY over some of the best square brackets in Anglophone fiction!
