He had an affair with the woman living across the street from his family in Stgo. de Chuco, who was the former “wife” of a priest. Poems like “Verano” are about her. He lost her to Carlos Santa María … all of this was in 1915 but I wonder whether it contributes to the events … More Some gossip about Vallejo
Pour votre considération: scholar, scientist, researcher, what do these terms imply? (In other news I would like to say that Vallejo’s French was execrable. Execrable. How he did not get better than that in 15 years is hard to understand.) A fascinating fact about him, however, is that he dropped the fall, 1931 writers’ conference … More Dulce hogar sin estilo
I was happy today because work was going well. I have been impaired for so long I barely know what this is like. It is another planet. In the meantime I was meditating on this post and thread. I could repeat various points. If desire were enough, it would also be true that hard work … More Extrinsic and intrinsic
With a phone. I will let everyone know how this works and I will also remember to cancel this service when I no longer need it (or when it turns out not to work).

This article; the syllabi; the LASA2015 abstract; the grading; the parking permit. In the fall: the other article. It is strange no longer to collude in my own oppression but I appear to be achieving this. I will become stronger still. The very worst aspect of working at our place is the way we are … More To do
So it is going now, and I am becoming one with this project. Whole. The image of jumping off into a project does not work for me. I decided it was not a question of jumping off, but of drawing things toward me. You have to think in terms of integration and love, not alienation, … More One
Yes, all these things happened because I had impaired resources for a while. Now, I am rescuing my work from its glass case. Yes, I am authorized to do this. Yes, I have the power to do something meaningful. Yes, I have time. (Am I interested in this, for itself? Yes, but I never gave … More Mantra for the rest of the summer
I do not think it is lack of interest, much though I have tried to claim over the past twenty years that it is. And true as it is that I have other interests that could be professional interests, interests I feel I could pursue with greater happiness and success because they are in fields … More That work allergy
Today with Creole plate lunches we were talking about strategies for getting things done. We already know that in summer, to assign oneself four hours of work each day and take the rest of the time off is a wonderful, relaxing, renewing strategy. First a week’s absolute vacation, then this. So we are not talking … More Ser alguien
