For those of you haven’t noticed, I’ve been quite absent from this blog for the past three months or so. Now that the holidays are over and a new year has commenced, I am glad to say that I will recommence regularly posting to this blog. Here is a preview of projects that I will be working on in the coming weeks:
- An original translation of Candide by Voltaire: a wonderful picaresque satire lampooning Leibnizian optimalism. The French prose isn’t particularly difficult, but it is certainly worth practicing.
- More original poetry: I took a break from writing poetry—by circumstance, not by choice—and I must continue to improve and to expand my horizons.
- The Anthology continues: I also need to continue developing my anthology of poems I find inspirational, meaningful, and thought-provoking. Since I am constrained by copyright for publishing some poems here, I will likely stick to classics. This is not to say poetry published in recently won’t show up in my personal anthology; it just won’t show up here.
Of course, I may also begin posting actual blog posts in the near distant future, but I truly have more fun waxing poetic than arguing polemic.
