A sentence from something I'm trying to finish up.

a great essay on life, music, relationships
This is an essay I wrote about music and grief and sunsets and water and grief and brothers and grief. It’d mean a hell of a lot if you set aside a little time to read it.

Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."

I am about to oblige myself to write (not for publication) about Pale King. I haven't written more than a long endnote on DFW, one I would write differently if I had first read Stephen Guy-Bray's Loving in Verse. (By the way, can someone do a reprint of Loving in Verse?)
