Every Twitter account I see with the name Mcdermott, I get excited that it's Dermot Mulroney. This is stealing from an SNL sketch, but only partially!

My favorite part of the @EmilyRCWilson (2017) translation of "The Odyssey" may well be the final paragraph of the Translator's Note. Listen carefully to the ragged stranger's story.

It is hard work to repeatedly commit yourself to unraveling/articulating the demons you didn't ask for, but got stuck with anyway. I hope to never take it for granted when artists choose to thoughtfully and generously undertake that work. I'll miss Daniel Johnston.

ok sports fandom is definitely ridiculous and sometimes brings out the most absurd behavior in those who are immersed in it (obviously myself included) but this is so incredible and hilarious, I've been watching it all day

I got to interview one of my favorite poets Katie Peterson! Peterson's poems allow so much of life into them, and the same can be said for her really amazing responses in this interview. memoriousmag.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/poe…

So, anyways...back to Gilmore Girls. Top 5 Minor Recurring Characters: 1) Tana Schrick (Rory's freshman year roommate) 2) Gil (Sebastian Bach) 3) Caesar 4) Morey Dell (Babette's husband) 5) Emily's maids. Really, I just wanted a chance to say Tana's the best. All time. #1.

James Schuyler was born on this day in 1923. Here is a diary entry he wrote on his 64th birthday. "Not everything gets worse." Happy birthday, Jim.

I'm really glad I got to read Andrea Cohen's new poetry book, Nightshade, and then interview her about it for Memorious. I learned a lot about life and poetry from her book, and I learned a lot about life and poetry from her answers. Thank you, Andrea Cohen and @memoriousmag!

Yanyi's The Year of Blue Water is really a fantastic collection--full of empathy, wisdom, transformation. Thank you to yanyi 妖怪 and @memoriousmag for letting me be a part of this inspiring interview!
