Orphic Mysteries and Dionysian Roots

The literary roots of opera go back to the theater of Dionysus in Ancient Athens.

I'm taking a break from the Review Review today. I've gotten some feedback that I've been phoning it in lately, and I guess I have to agree. A week's reprieve should help me locate my lost sense of purpose.
But I'll be back for the first issue of April next weekend, and I'm sure I'll be my usual pithy self again by then. Meanwhile, check out the NYTBR's Paper Cuts blog, which really has gotten livelier since they've opened it up to more writers. Good stuff.

Hey, you could phone it in better than the TBR could do it for a living.
(not for publication, but...feel free to mention my new zine when you get a chance. I'd appreciate it.)
Covey, your new zine is top-notch!
Hey man, deja vu all over again.
I remember that story, Apparition. Read it what seems like a few lifetimes ago.
Fun stuff, nice to see it appear again.
