For three whole days I was away from home, sleeping in a tent by night and spending half a day at the Dover Public Library or, as was the case yesterday, two hours at an independent book store tapping into the merchant’s hot spot. I had no problems with my laptop computer or the public wi-fis available to me. But as soon as I plugged my laptop in at home, it immediately went to battery power and I spent an hour composing a post for this blog only to have WordPress not save it so I’ll have to rewrite the whole thing from scratch.

I had written the post I promised three days ago – on the two poetry markets and how to reach them. But I’m not going to recreate it now. I’ll just let this post serve as the reminder that I’m back in the groove. Over the next few days, expect a few of my usual grandiose sentiments:

• The two poetry markets
• What long-term narratives in the 21st century will look like (thanks G.M. Palmer)
• And whatever else I can think of

Rest assured, I have not given up my license to practice philosophy or forgotten about the need for a solid 21st century poetics. Stay tuned faithful readers.
