i can never make thursday night. i seem to keep having plans on thursdays. but i hope to make next thursday.
one of the things i liked about tisa's reading was the move between the pronouns that she was doing. also liked taylor's reading of it a great deal. so scott, what if we throw out the experimental question? and just say tisa is writing? does that change the demands we make on the work in some way?
william, could you perhaps describe Notable American Women more? i think it is great book. in part for how it negotiates gender issue. i have friend who says cronenberg is great feminist film maker b/c he is so scared of women that he gets at something complicated that you couldn't get at otherwise. i'm not sure fear is dominant in Notable American Women but there is something going on where we are told something about gender that probably couldn't come out of feminist writing as we tell the cartoon version of it right now (although one could say that this book couldn't have been written without the feminist movement of right now). what is this? i would like to hear more about what it reads like and what it says and how it does it, etc., and maybe it will convince some other people to read it.
and romney, could you also give more sense of christensen's alphabet? how it gets made. how it uses fibonacci series. again i want to hear more because one of my hopes is that if you like the book you will write something persuasive enough that other people will read the book.
dan, for instance, would convince me to read point and line. also good post by william on kenny g.
there is an interesting essay by Ravi Shankar on two indian poets here, in contemporary poetry review.
i am changing final project requirements. final project is now optional. i will gladly read something if you want me to. but if you feel you've just written your thesis and are done, then so be it. if you want to submit a letter to me where you talk about what you plan to do next--either for your thesis if you are in first year or for project after your thesis, that would be cool also. but at this point i feel like i've seen so much excellent and devoted work (everyone is exceeding my expectations! it is very exciting for me!) that i don't really need for you to work at getting together some extra paperwork for me. but if you think it sounds fun to get something together and turn it in, i'm more than willing to read it and respond.
