I started blogging for the
Kenyon Review in February 2016, so with this blog post, I’ve officially surpassed the five-year mark. Five years! That’s how long it took to build the Hagia Sophia, which is a humbling thought. On the other hand, my tenure on this blog both predates and outlived the Trump administration, so I’ll take that as a win.
You can read my first post, a rumination on Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels and my own drifting friendship, here. In the years since, I’ve written about everything from watching a total eclipse to memorializing a writing teacher to signing with a literary agent while on vacation in Mexico City. I’ve written about rejection, literary nightmares, research inspirations, early influences, an ode to museums, and so much more. This blog has also given me the chancetointerviewsomeamazingwriters, for which I’m deeply grateful. In fact, I’ve loved blogging here even when I’ve hated it.
