I've decided, tentatively, to return to HG Poetics. To all my friends, I extend most rueful apologies, for playing ring-around-the-rosie with you.

I left a month ago in a state of discouragement & uncertainty, having to do with my so-called literary vocation. The blog had begun to seem symbiotic with enervated anomie inertia etc.

But I don't like invading other bloggers' comment boxes. & not blogging a little at my desk job is painful. I LOVE THIS MEDIUM. I'm going to try to keep the digital cafe-causerie from dominating my thought-world... without forsaking it entirely.

So... the bad penny is back. For the time being, anyway.
