I blurbed Orlando! An enduring favorite—some might even say “Woolf’s most audacious masterpiece….” (lol). Congrats to Madelyn Detloff, a scholar I’ve admired for so long, on this fabulous new edition ♥️🌈♥️

RIP Michael Longley. Like every great poet (I’m increasingly convinced), he has a quilt poem.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

New review by Claire Battershill ♥️ “This book is rich, and full, and maximalist. It is a triumphant and brave first book that remakes feminist scholarly practice. It is a joyous celebration of texture, text, and textile, and of the human fragility and feeling that those media can help us see.” Wow!

My first book was on craft, which intersected with community, wellness, queerness. My second multi-pronged project is on bathing rituals—similar resonances but I’m working w/ different frameworks. It’s the end of the semester & I only had half an hour to dip into that today but look at this icon!

My Berlantian teaching experiment continues this year w/ Cottage Core (currently teaching Dark Academia)—I’m curious what you’d teach: post-1885 literature set in cottages (or similar dwellings, beach houses, etc). + favorite theoretical readings on escapism, the pastoral, etc? Prefer non-American 🍂
