Though this season has seen me being pummeled by the various viruses and whatnot that are floating around—not to mention succumbing, for perhaps the first time in my life, to some form of seasonal affective mood disorder—the year, as a whole, has had some bright moments (as Rahsaan Roland Kirk would say).

Been reading Jamie Iredell‘s Prose. Poems. A Novel. today.  Wanted to talk about it with someone, so I figured I’d see if anyone else is reading/has read this one.
