#whatprofessorswear Last week one of my friends, Laura S., announced on Facebook that Wednesday, November 13, 2019, is World Kindness Day.

WPW: Boo! Shriek! Gasp!
#whatprofessorswear My pumpkin family (two by my niece, one by my nephew, one by my sis, and two by me) I hope it was a happy Halloween for you.

Review of Jessie Janeshek’s Madcap
In this blog post, I review Jessie Janeshek's 2019 publication, Madcap, a book of poems published by Stalking Horse Press. Madcap begins with a Buster Keaton quotation: “Tragedy is a close-up, comedy a long shot,” and the book divides itself evenly into these two vantage points.
