Land of the Lost: in which I suffer for the sake of knowledge
This weekend at GeekDad I have a “10 things parents should know” post up about Land of the Lost, which was almost no fun at all. That said, there’s always a silver lining: 10. Well, is there at least a … Continue reading

PsychoSlut
Look what’s new at Bookslut this month: This month we introduce two new columns: Culinaria Bookslut, which is pretty much what it sounds like; and PsychoSlut, which hopefully is not. . . . And in PsychoSlut, Jason B. Jones, also … Continue reading

Poetry links
My weekly post is up at Bookslut. Topics include Darrell Grayson, “poetry therapy,” mathematical poems, an astronomer’s complaints about Whitman, and more. I think some interviews are likely to go up soon, and there’s something interesting coming in a few … Continue reading

Review: Otherwise Normal People: Inside the Thorny World of Competitive Rose Gardening
This morning PopMatters posted my review of Aurelia C. Scott’s Otherwise Normal People: This book delivers almost exactly what the title offers: A sympathetic, perhaps even sentimental, look at the slightly crazy people who organize their lives around rose competitions. … Continue reading

Collex
At the Academic Commons today, I have a post introducing Collex, a search- and tagging- tool that allows researchers to move seamlessly among most of the major 19th-century digital collections. Collex is one of the coolest early fruits of Jerome … Continue reading

Review: Some Common Weaknesses Illustrated, by Carson Cistulli
In this month’s Bookslut, I review Carson Cistulli’s Some Common Weaknesses Illustrated: Â One of the book’s strongest features is its implicit commentary on American masculinity, especially in its adolescent and 20-something variants. Cistulli’s poems are sports-besotted, not with the usual … Continue reading
Review: Freud’s Wizard: Ernest Jones and the Transformation of Psychoanalysis, by Brenda Maddox
In this month’s Bookslut, I review Brenda Maddox’s new biography of Ernest Jones: Three of Brenda Maddox’s splendid biographies center on famous modernist marriages: D. H. & Frieda Lawrence, W. B. & Georgie Yeats, and James and Nora Joyce. Like … Continue reading
