I was honored to work with someone as erudite as Prof. Zhou, and I am grateful to the Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture for the opportunity to work this out in print for their "Key Terms of Chinese Literary Theory" special issue.

We ask questions like: can you separate the art from the artist? Can immoral people create good poetry? Are good writers moral exemplars? How have the answers to these questions shaped Chinese literary history? What relevance do these questions have to our era of "cancel culture"?

Apparently (per @vierth.bsky.social on another platform) these OCRs are about a decade old, so that explains quite a bit

I once took a poetics class with a guy who wrote in the genre of aphorism (James Richardson). Some favorites:
“All stones are broken stones.”
“Each lock makes two prisons.”

Rhyming 水 and 子 feels really lame to me for some reason.

I'm starting to feel like a dinosaur because I have no interest in using these things or reading any scholarship that relies on them. Especially the AI-generated "analysis": it does cite my dissertation but doesn't really get the main point of it.

Why can't I enjoy smashing homers while also contemplating the fine details of epithets in Homer? Why not translate 300 Tang poems while also coaching 300 practices?

**It's funny because when I entered grad school I thought that, in order to be sufficiently wen 文 (literary/intellectual), you had to deny the wu 武 (military/physical). But now I don't care. It's all part of me, who I am.

*Cleveland is sub-.500 again and has two pitchers suspended for gambling allegations. It has been a frustrating (if not unexpected for NE Ohioans) season so far. 4/5

For those who don't know this side of me, I was baseball-obsessed until about the age of 16, and was a pretty decent pitcher and middle infielder through high school. Eventually my interests turned elsewhere, but coaching my kids recently has re-ignited a certain spark in me for the game.** 3/5

But my real joy will be playing whiffleball with my kids in the driveway, and watching my son really take the game up as his own passion. 2/5
