For Essay Daily I wrote about the power of flash as feminist reclamation, Jamaica Kincaid’s genre-blurring “Girl,” and writing my flash collection ABBREVIATE.

I didn't realize that I was haunted by Roger Casement too until I read @wsjaslattery's essay in the Advent Calendar of @EssayingDaily

Usually, this time of year @EssayingDaily runs a month-long #Advent calendar, but I think we can all agree that this year is different.

Writing by the Xmas tree this morning, thinking about my @BallState students--present, past, & future--& I pulled up an old advent I wrote for @EssayingDaily. Here's the thing: I was not wrong about @iSmashFizzle, @happiestwerther, & @BrittanyMeansIt.

Wrote about Katrina Dodgson’s rollicking and inventive translation of Mario de Andrade’s classic Macunaíma; many thanks to @zerkperkem for his editorial fangs & CRB for publishing it
"If the act of translation is often reduced to a dichotomy of foreignization and domestication, Dodson’s work is an interrogation: of national identity, of what constitutes the foreign and domestic in the first place."
