I am a Doctoral candidate in Latin American and Caribbean history. Currently, I am more interested in reading (for pleasure) than writing my dissertation. I hope to become more motivated to write as I read.

Public Notes

  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    "You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
    love what it loves.
    Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
    Meanwhile the world goes on.
    Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
    are moving across the landscapes,
    over the prairies and the deep trees,
    the mountains and the rivers.
    Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
    are heading home again.
    Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
    the world offers itself to your imagination,
    call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
    over and over announcing your place
    in the family of things."

If you've seen any one of them (or both) please feel free to post your comments. We also have a recurring thread "Movies You've Watched During the Month".

    Thanks for sending a friend note. My "shelf" is full of recent reads. I'm also really interested in Latin American Lit. Any good suggestions? If you don't mind, where are you studying and what is the focus of your dissertation?
