Hiiiiiiiiiiiii (hi).

Well, well, well, what a world, huh? I’m still sheltering in place. I know all of you are, too. It is hard to know when anything like my normal life will return, but I’m trying to make a new normal out of the scraps of my old life. Between taking care of the children full time and driving myself to distraction with COVID resources that — in theory! — will help me make decisions, but are in actual fact making me dizzy with confusion, I am trying to get some writing done. I have also embarked on significant culinary adventures; I am now the protector of a delicate young sourdough starter.

I’m trying to focus more attention now on the Oxford project, but I’ve been delving into a new project, about women and psychoanalysis, from which one of these essays is drawn. So, here are two short new pieces, one a part of a cluster at Post45 collated by the great Gloria Fisk and edited by Dan Sinykin, and the other a short essay on Melanie Klein and, well, having babies. This was edited by B. D. McClay!

There are some more pieces coming down the pipe, but for now, thank you for reading!
