Arden of Faversham: A Critical Reader has arrived in paperback! I am so proud of this book, which works to apply the play to a wide range of issues: ecocriticism, critical race studies, labor relations, gender theory, colonial relations, intimate partner violence, and more. Please check it out!

Still reeling from last night’s streaming of The Seagull - brilliantly acted, and leaning hard into the play’s commentary on theatre.

Still reeling from the Cyrus Chestnut Trio last night. Some of the most relaxed, uplifting, witty, and thrilling jazz I’ve ever shared a room with.
