Saturday Good Reads


It was a great week. Offline, spring reared its beautiful if premature head in St. Louis. Online, all these posts showed up, including a return by my friend Justinian, a poet who blogs at Delight and Glory and Oddity and Light. He’s been offline for a few months, taking care of serious things. And now he’s back.

    Is that from the South?

    I'm out of town, but I will be able to cruise through a few of them before "I have" to walk on the beach.
