This weekend I took my first letterpress class and fell in love. Above is my poem "On Returning," a part of the grandfather series.

You can read more about my letterpress adventures here: Paper Tattoo Press.

Attended a lecture by Michael Pollan--I loved his Omnivore's Dilemma, which we read in my non-fiction seminar. His writing is so crisp and balanced.

Thesis defense week is upon us. This will be me in two years. Creating a summer reading list.
