Resolutions For Rabble-Rousers: W.H. Auden’s Timeless Tips from “Under Which Lyre”
In 1946, the poet W.H. Auden was asked to craft and recite a poem for Harvard’s “Victory Commencement,” an event designed to celebrate and honor students, faculty, and leaders who had served in WWII, which had only recently ended and was not yet distant enough to allow the general public total peace of mind. Although relieved — read more

Patience Is (Still) A Virtue
When I was younger and just beginning my professional career, I remember a colleague whose reputation for uncouthness was, I believe, physically manifested in his hair, which sprang outward in all cardinal and intercardinal directions and had never once been introduced to the teeth of a decent comb. People would warn new employees that this — read more

📚 Quick Review on Scott Galloways’ Notes on Being A Man
Scott Galloway’s latest book, Notes On Being A Man, is not the commentary on masculinity that the marketing campaigns led me to believe it would be— it’s much better.

Book Review: New Teeth by Simon Rich
Simon Rich might be the prince of simple writing. It is borderline supernatural the way that he can construct jokes, premises, plot-lines, and characters without a single shred of excess detail, yet never give the impression that he is underdelivering. New Teeth is a jubilee of laughter from start to finish and I have no — read more

💿 Baby by Dijon Is The Most Underrated Album Of The Year
It took three months after its digital release for the hard copy of Dijon’s sophomore album Baby to arrive at my home. This delay is no one’s fault. It is one of those ostensibly “negative” realities of my move away from streaming services and back to physical media. And while the lack of acclaim I — read more

Book Review: PLAYFUL by Cas Holman
All wisdom has it’s genesis in play. I have found that people who truly and sincerely value playfulness are, almost without exception, the ones who succeed in creating and maintaining a lasting alliance with the light.
