This is a particularly meaningful publication for me. After years of publishing both my own poetry and translations of Yiddish poetry, a poem I wrote, inspired by Yiddish, has been published in English and my own Yiddish translation by the @yiddishbook centerpic.twitter.com/aJHivlnAln

I was apparently so inspired by that hatchet job on Leonard Cohen that I am listening to Suzanne right now, and it's not even one of my favorite Cohen songs.

And because I just can't help myself: "The simile lay in the poem like a corpse."

All employed to assure us of the reviewer's critical faculties no less! Then I looked up William Logan's own poetry and found things like this: "The sun lay on the horizon like a vegetable."

As I was reading that review of Leonard Cohen's The Flame in the NYT, I thought I would have some comment on the NYT's lack of judgement in engaging a reviewer with such an obvious axe to grind, but once I reached the end all I could think about were the terrible similes.

Missing from so much of the news coverage of Native people being outraged by Elizabeth Warren's DNA test: Native voices. I asked prominent tribal leaders and Native people about it. Surprise: they said Warren is an ally and this narrative is media fodder.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-dna-test-native-american_us_5c19550fe4b0432554c512bb …

I understand that in cases where residency is required, committees also want to know that an applicant isn't a pill to be around. But one letter should suffice for that.

If one has had one's work written about in a complementary manner in a published venue, it would be nice if one could substitute that for one of the letters. Just a suggestion!

I think some residencies/fellowships need to ask themselves whether three recommendation letters for something that is only a month long, or less than $20k, are really necessary. Especially in the case of the residency I'm looking at, which also requires a $30 fee just to apply.

There’s a woman in my field, bananas good at her job, and the number of women (not men) who consistently negatively describe her as “complicated” “challenging” or “tough” is wild man. She’s a peach compared to so many biz dudes. We gotta do better on loving our own, ladies.
