It’s official. I’m tenured. But more meaningful to me is the fact that I was promoted to Associate Professor on the day that my partner-in-crime since grad school, Zach Tavlin, was also promoted to Associate. I aspire to be even a fraction of the writer & thinker you are @zachtavlin.bsky.social

#Chicago!!! Do not sleep on learning more about poetry from one of the most brilliant minds! @zachtavlin.bsky.social on #EmilyDickinson. @brooklyninstitute.bsky.social

Don’t sleep on James Hosking’s beautiful collages, up at Gerber/Hart Library & Archives. Up until March!

It was a pleasure to co-organize this great event yesterday. Thank you, Tina Post, for your refreshing scholarship and for your generosity.

Appropriately opening on my birthday and basically my “Sex in Public” class. Cannot wait for this. Alexis Heller is the curator whose work I’m most excited by. #radicalperverts #museumofsex

Day One: Invisible Man. 15 week slow, deep reading of the novel in context. This is my favorite way to read with students and it is still never enough time for me, or for some of them.

The Whitfield Lovell retrospective “Passages” at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art is astonishing.

Don’t sleep on Glancing Visions: Surface and Depth in Nineteenth Century American Literature (University of Alabama Press, 2023) by Zachary Tavlin, the most graceful and talented writer and thinker I know.

Will hunt down my people’s food.

Is Stanislaw Lem’s SOLARIS (1961) *the* anti-SF SF novel? @zachtavlin.bsky.social might have convinced us all at last night’s SF Bookclub.
