I swore I’d never blog. I’m afraid it will cut into what little time I already have for writing. But the passing of Liam Rector, my mentor, my friend, has driven me here, and I’m not even sure why yet. He coached me through the nuance and nuisance of academic job interviews my last semester at Bennington. He advised, scolded, cheered, listened for these last four years as I’ve clod-hopped my way through building a writing program and an MA. But I can’t write about Liam here. I’ve made an attempt over at our press website. (www.brierycreekpress.org) Felt I had to there. But not here. Not now. Maybe not ever. It hurts too much.
I think what I’d rather do here is talk about writing. We’ll see how it goes.
Hey Big Dog, does this count as building?
Welcome. Cheers.
