Soapbox, Yet Again

Continuing the Emersonian takeover at the Dig, here's my piece for this week, originally written (in much expanded form) for Column Writing last fall: I'm OK, You're Country.

Jacqueline Houton in the Phoenix and Bitch

Jacqueline Houton had two pieces publsihed recently, a piece in the Phoenix on "Sources of Inspiration" inspired by Megan Marshall's class and a piece on cosmetics companies in Bitch.

Thanks to Jacqueline and Vernacular, the Emerson MFA and MA website, for pointing us to these pieces.

Literally Hilarious

You're right Justine--but I think they're starting to catch on. My Soapbox that was published in last week's Dig (Sept. 3 to Sept. 10) never got posted online. So if anyone is dying to read a (I think) quite hilarious rant about the ills of speaking ill, pick up a copy and read "Lessons in Speaking Good: A Back-to-School Special."

p.s. It is actually now online. I guess sufficient whining can get you pretty much anything.
