I picked up Kosmos magazine and the @humboldt-foundation.de yearly planner at my mom’s place. Since I travel often, I still have many of my packages sent there. It’s still mind-blowing to receive this gift—linked to academic excellence—in a small town in rural Asturias, northern Spain. Grateful!

‘lyric poetry’s most insistent querying regards the nature of time — how limited human time is (as lived), how surprisingly long it is (in imagination), how mysteriously it prolongs itself (in memory)’ Jorie Graham news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

I took my first steps in literary theory with Prof. Magdalena Cueto, who had co-authored this book in the nineties. My friends and I had photocopies of it to help us understand Aristotle's 'Poetics'.This term, I was delighted to find that this old-fashioned book is still very useful for my students.

When ‘misread’ (in Bloom’s terms) diaries become documentaries. Overall, I enjoyed this portrait of Highsmith, but the appropriation of certain excerpts from her diary and their presentation as the truth behind the person remains problematic.
