Sounion/Byron

March 1, 2023

Here’s the temple to Poseidon at Cape Sounion, perched on a cliff at the very tip of the Attic peninsula, viewed on our trip to Greece last year. You’re not allowed to walk on the monument nowadays, but it was very different when I first saw the temple forty-odd years ago. I not only walked […]

Go East, Young Man

February 26, 2023

As I wrote in an earlier post: Breathes there a man with soul so dead that he doesn’t like cowboy songs?  Even if they’re sung in Mongolian, with indigenous instruments and throat-singing?

Talk Video

February 11, 2023

Brenda Cooper, Ken Scholes, Hank Schwaeble, Cliff Winnig, and I are interviewed by Sean Patrick Hazlett about our participation in the anthology High Noon on Proxima B. We had fun, I think. Odds are you will, too. P.S. The book is now available wherever fine books are sold.

Another Win on the Shelf

February 7, 2023

So Bonnie got another Grammy to put on her shelf, much to the astonishment and outrage of the world. (If you can’t outrage the world at an awards ceremony, what’s the point?) I could post the video of “Just Like That” here, but I thought I’d put up one that was new to me— a […]
