Really, though, there's a good bit of philosophizing (read:BS) thrown in with the links. I'm going on the assumption that if you're in this part of my site, you might actually want to read such. If not, go straight for the purple links or go back.
Conversations
I think that stories can be a wonderful medium for conversations. Stories can be a great way to step back and talk anonymously or voice ideas that lurk at the fringes of what you'd really like to say.
EarthDancer A conversation with several friends through a fantasy story.
And the Walls Came Tumbling Down A conversation I wish I could have had with several friends, but which they never saw.
The Coal Black Sea On saying goodbye. Sort of a conversation.
Vignettes
I like the vignette form-- sort of a painting with words, with highly significant and all-encompassing detail. At some point I'll have to try prose-poems, I suppose.
Springsong About tree-walls and the coolness thereof.
The Passing of Shadows A very short piece that is not so much good writing as exposition on a setting of mine.
Stories
The Things I Steal from Sleep Possibly my favorite right now. A cute little scare-tale courtesy of the Bard.
Finding Silk A essay from a CTY course in 1994.
Papers
Modes of Retelling A paper that I am definitely going to revisit, and which is a major aspect of one possible route through graduate school. I'd love comment on it.
On Modern Poetry: Central Concepts to Wallace Steven's Poetics The first of four papers written for the Honors Program finals at Swarthmore College, examining chaos in Stevens.
The True Pristine Shape and the Artificial Impression: Authenticity, Memory, and Writing in "Time Regained" The second of four papers for Honors, and an attempt (snort!) at Proust.
The Insubstantial Pageant's Substantial Uses: Human Magic and Directorship in As You Like It, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest The third of four, this on, well, my favorites in Shakespeare.
Poetry
Ah, I tricked you-- all the poetry that I currently wish to share is in the archives of Eyes in the Dark, grendel.org's now-defunct lit-zine.
