3. And speaking of the conference: I’ll be heading there tomorrow and returning early next week. So there will be a brief blogging hiatus here. Thanks for your patience!

  • What I’m reading: I brought Sophfronia Scott’s essay collection Love’s Long Line with me on my recent travels; I’m still reading it. (Slowly, yes.) It’s stellar.
