Beautiful. I lived not far from there for ten years. Copley Square is my favorite place in Boston. So hard to imagine. Stay safe everyone.

Boston Love Letter
On the steps of the Boston Public Library looking out at Copley Square. Half-a-mile from my old home, and right around the corner of the Boston Marathon finish line. When I lived in Boston, I spent every Marathon Monday hanging around Copley, struck by the crackling emotion, power, and vu...
To my mind much of the personal-wealth counselling industry is flat-out exploitative, aimed as it is at people who do not have much financial sophistication. You don't see investment bankers buying Suze Orman books; there's a reason for that. Come to think of it, you don't see investment bankers buying books at all… in fact, if you're lucky, you don't see investment bankers, period. But anyway, I digress…

Debt, Need, and Desire: The Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry
I'm working very intentionally to get out of debt, a provoking mission that I see as essential to my happiness and stability, as a single self-employed freelance writer, and to my social justice beliefs. I want to disentangle myself from predatory industries. I do not want to give them my mone...
I liked Rothbart's book quite a lot, with a few reservations. He seems like a good egg. Mike

Davy Rothbart and Honesty in Both Art and Life
I hung out with Davy Rothbart awhile back, and we talked about FOUND Magazine, the forthcoming film he's co-directing called "Medora" (which threatens to be one of the most extraordinary sports films: witness the trailer), the national tour with his brother (79 cities, 99 days), and Davy's new ...
Wow, what a great roundup. You should be the editor of a huge and influential arts weekly or like. Rather than the editor of a huge and influential blog. Which you are.
Saw a picture of Verlander wearing a T-shirt saying "Let's keep the MVP in the D."

Good on those folks. One of the few journals that still publishes thoughtful criticism on poetry.

Kick It With The Boston Review
During my East Coast traveling earlier this month, I had lunch with Dan Pritchard (pictured above, and the original interviewee on Isak). He works with the Boston Review and tipped me to the magazine's plans to Kickstart an overhaul of their website. Particularly intriguing is that the mag...
Hear, hear. The empty spaces are where the soul recharges, perhaps…

Wow, what a splendid meditation. That's the kind of thing I usually zoom past at the Met. See that? Patience, open-mindedness.

"Seated Figure, 13th Century"
I was moved by this sculpture when I encountered it Friday morning. The terracotta form was made about 800 years ago. Think of it! A thing was felt, deep in the bones, and an artist, in a sort of inverted empathy, heaved that feeling into an object shaped in clay. I think of the artist's ...

Better yet, how about a novel about dancing puzzle-lovers or like? :)
