To Kill a Mockingbird: A Review

20 July 201520 July 2015Leave a comment

When I wrote an article about rereading favorite books, I had To Kill a Mockingbird in mind. My decision to reread Mockingbird was somewhat controversial, from a personal standpoint, at least. After beginning this year's reading challenge with the expectation that I would read only new material, news of actor Jonathan Crombie's death compelled me … Continue reading To Kill a Mockingbird: A Review

Not only did I start my new job at Bustle, but my former professor emailed me to say that our presentation on a digitized archive of information on the imagist poet H.D. was accepted into the H.D. and Feminist Poetics conference being held at Lehigh … Continue reading UPDATE: All Posts from 7 – 11 June 2015

How to Start a Blog

10 June 20157 June 2015Leave a comment

How do you start a blog? I've been asked this question at least five times in the last six weeks. I say that not with self-importance but with shock. Why would anyone ask me how to blog? I'm certainly not the most successful blogger out there. In fact, I feel as if I google "how to … Continue reading How to Start a Blog
