Modesty?

Here is a short essay by Justin Taylor that is about being confused by "a general trend in contemporary indy- and small-press lit-land that insists on modesty to the point of self-abasement, encourages people to get awestruck at the drop of a hat, and rewards the expression of self-doubt rather than self-confidence."

I've had some bits of happy news recently --

Cornshake will be teaching my book in her class next spring and I'll be skyping in to talk to her students!

And I've been asked to be the acting judge for SCSU's literary journal "FOLIO" student poetry contest this year.

Joy!
