GradPadScansion: May 2008
http://gradpadscansion.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Saturday, May 31, 2008. Confessions of a Justified Sinner. Count me in. There appear to be a few too many political in-jokes for this book to work for my freshman class, but I'd recommend it for those grad students out there wondering what to read next. At least from what I've gotten from my reading of the first 35 pages. And The Way of All Flesh. But I'm hoping this one will follow through. Links to this post. Thursday, May 29, 2008. When o...

GradPadScansion: February 2009

Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Saturday, February 28, 2009. Felix Feneon- A Series of Unfortunate Events. In trolling through Half Price Books today (where I overheard someone looking for where the Paramilitary Romance section was- quoi? I found a long-lost novel recently resuscitated by NYRB, who have a fantastic series of high-quality unjustifiably obscure novels. Feneon. Who carefully avoided the limelight, compiled this experimental book, called Novels in Three Lines,.

GradPadScansion: September 2008
http://gradpadscansion.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Saturday, September 27, 2008. Queries and Mass Transit. In the bookstore, a parent calls repeatedly for her child, moving slowly through the maze of shelves. "Grace," she says: "Grace. Grace." The same deadpan way a backwards-walking flight attendant holding a bag says "Trash- Trash- Trash" in the dry, cold, foot- and peanut-scented air of the jet. A query, a deadpan demand, a weary need.

GradPadScansion: Two Questions, or, Heaven Can Be Yours, Inc.
http://gradpadscansion.blogspot.com/2009/02/two-questions-or-heaven-can-be-yours.html
Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Thursday, February 19, 2009. Two Questions, or, Heaven Can Be Yours, Inc. Today I had scheduled a field trip for my composition class, based somewhat on my McDonalds espionage experiment. I gave my students various roles that they were to assume before we went to the Student Union food court to do our field research. And only those that go to Heaven get a sticker.

Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. After their meal, a woman has given her grandchild some money to get her a soda while she goes to the restroom. As she turns he hits the counter, gets a hamburger, then goes to the other side of the trashcans in view of the restroom door. He eats hurriedly. He is perhaps nine years old. Links to this post. I am interviewing for a job at a place that takes elderly intensive care patients during peak season. I pla...

GradPadScansion: AWP Fallout
http://gradpadscansion.blogspot.com/2009/02/awp-fallout.html
Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Whew I'm tired. I'd post pix of the convention, but my camera appears to be broken. The bookfair, with its great crowds and constant activity, was often like a football scrum in a library, but in the fray certain recognizable faces were seen: Lucille Clifton. Who signed two of my books), Hilda Raz. I'll type more fun and frivolity after I've had a bit of sleep. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

GradPadScansion: My Summer of Many Words
http://gradpadscansion.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-summer-of-many-words.html
Grad school grumblings, poetic ramblings, and home improvement. Sunday, February 08, 2009. My Summer of Many Words. Henry James stood for me, back when I was an under-graduate, as the height of nothing doing. We were assigned The Portrait of a Lady. His character names are occasionally hilarious (who today would have the chutzpah to name a main character, as in "The Wheel of Time," Fanny Knocker? He's also the master of the artificial problem, such as finding a sealed envelope in "Sir Dominick Ferrand" w...
