quick update&etc

I lost the internet signal in my apartment (all the undergrad students have moved away, and I never actually paid for internet). I probably wont have it myself until I move home to NY on June 1st.

Right now I’m (re)reading Charles Bernstein’s With Strings & I’m planning to review it.

I also ordered John Berryman’s Dream Songs (slightly embarrassed I haven’t read that whole book yet) & Tao Lin’s Behavioral Cognitive Therapy to review. I realize that with the exception of Lin’s book, none of these are recent enough to constitute legitimate review, but it’s good jumping jacks for my brain. I’ve also been (creative) writing, which has struck me as healthy & happy considering I’ll have my first year at Iowa for my MFA in August & I’ve been losing my faith in the whole idea. But apparently I still have the drive to write, & that’s gotta count for something.
