Something I thought about:

• The energy and tension that comes from juxtaposition, and the kind of accumulation that emerges from parataxis versus juxtaposition.

Something I did:

• Read manuscript drafts and correspondence and wrote a lot of notes.
• Rentrée for the child.
• Consulted with some folks about how to set up a covid-safe classroom.
• Solved a Rubik’s cube
• Picked a lot of tomatoes and basil from the balcony garden. We're still getting some peppers, too.

Something I read:

• This conversation between Isaac Fitzgerald and Jon Scieszka is such a delight.
• Be Recorder by Carmen Giménez Smith
• Obit by Victoria Chang
• Finished Rhetoric of Empire by David Spurr
