Emergent Communities in Contemporary Experimental Writing
Presented my paper "Notes Toward a Feral Poetics"

Also participated in and attended some great readings.

Also took some lovely walks.


Chores: dishes, laundry, finish spring cleaning, mail remaining dusie chaps
Personal: find a new doctor, make more time for fresh air and exercise, try to worry less, look for new place to live
Creative: work on havens/fur birds, draft text about imprinting/ferality (how it complicates moralizing rhetoric of environmentalism and challenges romantic notions of the pastoral)

1.) Where is the book?



2.) How is a room like a womb? like a book?



OR what kind of room will this book be?
is this real?
