I just started Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman. An epic novel built of short Chekhov stories. Wonderful.

I teach freshman writing, and I think acting as the AI police is an opposite of teaching. I wrote a letter to my students that is not "AI bad" but a positive (to the point of cringe) argument about why it is worthwhile to do your own reading and writing. robroensch.medium.com/a-letter-to-...

My novel, In the Morning, The City is the Prairie, has been in the world for a year. Here's a review in the wonderful The New Territory. I'm heartened by this line: "stylistically minimal, but not without its moments of deep intimacy and reflection." I hope minimalism and intimacy aren't opposites.

Teaching Mark Doty's My Alexandria, a favorite book. As a fiction, I don't get to teach whole books of poetry often. A totally different experience. The end of "The Advent Calendars": "Half the windows are open, / half the windows are closed. / There is no single location of miracle."

The font work here is quite pleasant. Slightly more solid. This doesn’t make sense but it’s also like doing homework in middle school, in a good way.
