Disappearance of Latin
Posted by fogglethorpe on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 (15:40:04)
The chances are that no particular virtue attaches to Latin as a language, although its role in our culture is unique and uniquely important. Any dead language will do as the kind of trainer I mean, such as Ancient Greek or, were it copious enough and intelligible, Etruscan..

It's a sound that signifies approval, connection; it's an emotional response that tells the reader, "Wow. We are moved."

Posted by fogglethorpe on Monday, March 11, 2013 (15:00:00)
When I first picked Adonis from the AWP author’s line up as a new author to read, I had no idea he was something of a poetic rock star in the Arabic literary world. I originally selected him because I liked his slightly disheveled strands of grey-white hair, and I thought his bright tangerine scarf gave him a poetic flare..
