I am now officially tired of going to academic symposia and seeing an “artistic research” project presented by someone with a PhD and thinking “This is a very bad first year art school assignment but I need to applaud this colleague for being courageous and original….”
It is called a “practice” for a reason. I often tell students that it’s not a publication or presentation that makes you, finally, a real writer but that you know you‘ll try and fail many times over but you keep doing it anyway.
Academics who don‘t do creative writing or have an art practice themselves, thinking they can suddenly teach it, or do it and it’s immediately worthy of presenting or publishing publicly as “artistic research“… a new level of (excruciating, trust me) hubris.

Rest in peace.
Posting my dog because the news is too unhinged right now. I actually watched Interstellar as a relaxing distraction.
Happy 2026! Here is my cold, old dog in the new year’s snow. He’s still standing, and so are we. 🐶❄️💫

After reading The Raven a high school classmate asked if poetry existed before Edgar Allen Poe, and what did they call it?
Thank you!!!
