the snow is coming down again. we have had snow almost every day for two weeks. this morning's flakes are slow and pretty. the heat is on, i have a cup of hot coffee, and a view of snow covered streets. that's good.

my reading list has varied widely in the last few weeks. i'm going back through nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols. i am also reading works on and by italo calvino, a work on the presence of latin american writers in paris during the 20th century, works on and by dante (i always seem to be doing this), a translation of francisca aguirre's ithaca (to be published soon by BOA), iduna by kari edwards, two unpublished poetry manuscripts, and various essays (for the classes i teach). i have also been playing guitar and bass more for the past few weeks. i usually start to play when my life seems somewhat screwed up.
