two recent essays : on reviewing + on george bowering's delayed mercy and other poems,

My essay, "The further adventures of rob mclennan, reviewer" is now online at The Town Crier (thanks to Annick MacAskill for the solicitation), as is my essay on George Bowering's Delayed Mercy and Other Poems (Coach House Press, 1986) for The Operating System's "poetry month" feature (thanks to Melissa Eleftherion for the solicitation). Essays are fun to write!

On the Art of the Literary Interview : rob mclennan,

I was interviewed recently by Julienne Isaacs for The Town Crier, the blog of The Puritan Magazine, "On the Art of the Literary Interview." Thanks much, Julienne!

Author Notes: rob mclennan,

The Town Crier has posted a short essay of mine in their "Author Notes" series, composed on my short story, "The Matrix Resolutions." They were good enough to publish the story in an issue of the journal a few months ago. Thanks, Puritan!
