One unfortunate side effect of the Lit Studies/CW divide is that scholars of contemporary lit don’t spend much time talking to working writers. I think that our research is poorer for it.

Great last reading (for me) and Rivers and Roads and a wonderful way to cap off my time in Chicago! Hitting the road in the morning!

Every time I read the word “efficiency” (or worse, hear it in a meeting), I think of Wendell Berry: “The standard of the exploiter is efficiency; the standard of the nurturer is care.”

I will say some of the push for AI in writing is how a lot of non-AI writers think the point of writing is to get published and no, the point of writing is to remove the weird little thing from your body and teach it tricks
