Thrilled to be settling in here at St. John's College, Cambridge, for a week of Tom Nasherie and Marlowe-related side-quests! For now, I plan to catch up on sleep so I can enjoy every minute. Let sabbatical begin!

TFW you get up at 3am on fire with an idea to improve a situation that you thought would be a lost cause. You write furiously to craft a well-balanced proposal and get it off at 6am. It is now 6:36 am ... and you are WAITING for a reply...

Here's Florimell and her new friend Waffles taking a break from getting covered in grass stains. 🐶💕

I asked Copilot to generate an image based on my thoughts about this morning's writing efforts. I specifically mentioned fruit salad - perhaps because I dropped the plot, or I am hungry for breakfast. But the composition freakishly captures a hermeneutic crux I'm thinking about. I dig it. #amwriting

Rabbit, Rabbit! It's the 1st of June and Shakespeare Association of America bulletin day! I hope you'll consider joining Emily Rowe's and my seminar as we go deep on the topic of "Unearthing" next April in Denver! #Shax2006 #SAAUpdates

After hyperventilating through what may have been my busiest (and administratively stressful) semester (10 days to go!), I am pleased to inform you that I have opened my mail.

What joy to celebrate Emma's and Sofia's brilliant honors theses at last night's ceremonial dinner! From Penelope & Clytemnestra (Emma) to Avians & the Anthropocene (Sofia), working with these two has fed both my brain and my heart. 💜 #proudteacher #framinghamstate

Trying to put finishing touches on MS submission. As usual, this guy is monkeying up the works. #ihaveaNasheProblem #shouldhavelearnedbynow

My feline research assistants have abandoned me today, but Intern Florimell is hard at work as I copy edit my Element.

I am honored to be part of this discussion celebrating my colleague Vandana Singh's brilliant new book 'Teaching Climate Change: Science, Stories, Justice.' In addition to Vandana, our fellow interlocutors include Ben Alberti, Shade' Solomon, and Ishara Mills-Henry. Please join! Link in image.

This is my version of January break: a couple of days spent in New Haven to delight in rare books research at the Beinecke! As a bonus, I also get to see a former student who is one of the dramaturgs for Steve Carter's Eden - it opens tonight at the Yale Rep. Feeling grateful!

Received a lovely thank-you from a student; it was cheering and inspiring. BEST of all is that their Christmas list included an edition of Spenser's FQ! We read a couple of cantos in different classes, but they wanted the full edition. Family thought they were mad. I am thrilled.

Now that both the RSA and SAA schedules are out, I hope you'll consider joining me and Joseph Campana for the RSA Workshop: "Making Worlds: Early Modern Environmental Pedagogies!" See comments for registration information! rsa.confex.com/rsa/2025/mee...

Trying to work in the bedroom this morning while my father-in-law sleeps on in my office. I think Research Assistant #2 wants to go back to bed.

Came across Bainard Cowan's 1981 discussion of Benjamin and allegory this morning, and it is quite timely (embrace the pun). Ignis fatuus, indeed.

Followed through on promise to self to get out of the house at least once a week to write. Plan to do just that here at the Boston Public Library once I get past the nostalgia of living in walking distance and those early visits that informed my sometimes squirrelly path.

A few pics of #FolgerShakespeare renovations. Love how open and inviting the new entrances and landscaping are!

Stopped by the library (of Congress) yesterday to put in a greedy book order for a day of research before shifting gears to family. The books await!

There's nothing better than having former students return and teach current ones! Here's Austin Rifflemacher (Framingham '22; Yale Drama MFA '25) back in May Hall talking about dramaturgy and Shakespeare with my first year Honors students.
